Laughing in the Dark

This week it's Dave's turn to tell the 9:30 Society about the elventh episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Quicksilver. This episode finds Ashley Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire using black magic to try and trap a demon but the spell goes awry and she dies in a fire. Years later a pair of brothers move into the same house where this horribe tragedy happened and they'll sort out the mystery of the fire, capture the demon, and put the ghost to rest once and for all.

This week it's Aileen's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the tenth episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Dream Girl. In this episode a brother and sister who could you unfortunately mistake for boyfriend and girlfriend struggle to unravel the mystery of Johnny's weird dreams about a girl who seems so familiar to him and the cursed class ring that he can't seem to take off. Why does he seem so invisible to everyone but his sister and what's the big secret that she's been keeping from him all this time and why does she insist on revealing that secret through an elaborate origami newspaper article?

This week it's Mikie's back and it's his turn to tell the 9:30 Society about the ninth episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Curious Camera. This one is a blatant ripoff of a second season episode of The Twilight Zone replacing a pair of thieves with an alcoholic photographer and the kid he curses with a magical camera that destroys whatever it photographs. No problem, don't take any pictures with it, right? Wrong. It takes pictures on its own and pretty soon our main character is doing everything he can not to get his sister or his parents killed. The school bully, though, that kid deserved worse than he got. The episode stars Eddit Kaye Thomas from American Pie and features the kid who steals Zeebo's nose and eats a whole bowl of pudding in the season one episode that this very podcast is named after.

This week it's Bryan's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the eighth episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Guardian's Curse. Once again we find Tucker ripping off existing media to spin a story about an ancient curse, a mummy, and the worst father in the entire province of Ontario. His kids are looking forward to going skiing on school break but the good times turn to bad times when their dad, an archaeologist, is summoned to the museum to investigate mummy they found hidden behind a false wall. There's greed, an ironic comeuppance, and a love that survives the ages. Boris Karloff would like a word with Are You Afraid of the Dark's writers.

This week it's Dave's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the seventh episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Carved Stone. We're struck with yet another story about how hard it is to be the new kid in town as well as how nasty and mean Canadian teenagers can be but on the bright side, it's a Frank story and you know what that means. Everyone's favorite homosexual small business owner makes an appearance and tries to shake a thirteen year old down for way more money than a child is likely to have.  Don't forget to listen to Bryan and Dave on Bring Me The Axe! and 99 Cent Rental, Aileen on Uy Que Horror! and Mikie on The Rewatcher!
