Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a show on Nickelodeon centered around bizarre campfire stories, as told by the Midnight Society. Before the teller began the story, he or she would say "Submitted for your approval, by the Midnight Society, I call this story" followed by the title. They would also throw stuff into the fire to flare it up. The tile of each episode was shown in front of the smoke from the fire. The intro featured creepy shots of a vacant neighborhood, including an attic, with various items including a menacing clown doll. The show appears to be Nick's equivalent of The Twilight Zone.
Late in the show, a new cast was introduced. Many fans believe that this is when the show jumped the shark.
