Nickelodeon’s three-part revival of ’90s series “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” was quite a treat last Halloween season, introducing a brand new Midnight Society and making them the stars of the show in a life-and-death battle against the evil Mr. Tophat and his sinister Carnival of Doom. The limited series, penned by BenDavid Grabinski and directed by Dean Israelite, managed to hit that “gateway horror” sweet spot, and it’s finally headed to DVD this August.
Paramount will release the reboot series onto DVD on August 11, and what’s interesting about the release is that it’ll also include 3 fan-favorite episodes from the classic TV series:
- The Tale of Laughing in the Dark
- The Tale of the Ghastly Grinner
- The Tale of the Dead Man’s Float
In the new series, “The members of the Midnight Society tell a terrifying tale of the Carnival of Doom and its evil ringmaster, Mr. Top Hat, only to witness the shocking story come frightfully to life and prepare for an adventure beyond their wildest nightmares.” Lyliana Wray, Sam Ashe Arnold, Miya Cech, Jeremy Taylor, Tamara Smart and Rafael Casal star.
Thanks to Broke Horror Fan for the heads up.
