Nickelodeon Unveils First Teaser Trailer for 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' Reboot
The Midnight Society meets again.
Nickelodeon dropped a teaser trailer for its reboot of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," the popular '90s horror anthology series.
The three-part limited series, which premieres in October, introduces a new group of Midnight Society kids, who gather around the fire to tell the terrifying story of Carnival of Doom — only to have events of the story come to life.
The original series debuted on Canada’s YTV and aired in the U.S. on Nickelodeon from 1990 to 1996 and 1999-2000. The cast featured numerous up-and-coming actors, including Elisha Cuthbert, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, and Rachel Blanchard.
“Are You Afraid of The Dark? was my introduction to the horror genre and made me a fan for life,” series writer BenDavid Grabinski told Entertainment Weekly. “I hope we’re lucky enough to have our series do the same. It’s going to be a fun and scary ride, and I’m honored to introduce the Midnight Society to a whole new generation of kids.”
