SneakyBoy Unveils Modernized "Are You Afraid of The Dark?" Homage

Submitted for the approval of the Internet...

SneakyBoy, an award-winning media co-op and video studio based in Colorado, is rebooting and reimagining the 90s Nickelodeon classic "Are You Afraid of The Dark?", just in time for Halloween! (Best watched in full screen):

Are You Afraid of The Dark? REBOOT from SNEAKYBOY on Vimeo.

A Original Theme Cover by Slow Magic;

Title Design by Jeany Ngo;

"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" chronicles a group of kids – the 'Midnight Society' - that gather to tell ghost stories. When the clock strikes twelve, the members of the Midnight Society gather in the darkness. Around the campfire deep inside the woods, they let their imaginations run wild. One by one, they tell spine-chilling stories - vampires who wander the earth in search of blood, ghastly ghosts who possess the souls of the living and evil spirits who inhabit the darkest corners of our own minds. The tales are so frightening, so chilling, so real that they seem to take on a life of their own... Each story featured a new cast of characters. The show was filmed and produced in Canada, and gained North American exposure through Nickelodeon. Episodes helped kick start the careers of many young actors and actresses. The question is... are YOU afraid of the dark?

Fans can catch "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" all this Halloween on Nickelodeon USA's The Splat! #TheSplat

Melissa Joan Hart Wishes "Clarissa Explains It All" Co-Star Jason Zimbler A Happy Birthday

Melissa Joan Hart has TOTALLY made 90's Nickelodeon fans' day by revealing she's still friends with her "Clarissa Explains It All" brother!

The actress cleverly combined Throwback Thursday with a special birthday message for actor Jason Zimbler, who played Clarissa's bratty sibling Ferguson Darling in the hit Classic Nickelodeon series, on her official Instagram profile page, @MelissaJoanHart.


Alongside a picture of them in the show, she wrote: "Happy birthday to the most obnoxious little brother I ever had the pleasure of working with. Happy birthday Jason! #fergface #ferguson #YoungRepublicans #Clarissa #ClarissaExplainsItAll."

Since Melissa posted the photo, thousands of fans have liked the picture and left comments reminiscing on just how great the series was!

"Clarissa Explains It All" aired on Nickelodeon in the mid-nineties and followed the teen as she discussed school, boys and her annoying brother, Ferguson.


Following "Clarissa Explains It All", Zimbler graduated from Notre Dame in 1998, started his own theater company in 2007, and has worked for HBO as a software designer since 2009.

Melissa Joan Hart went on to star in Nickelodeon UK favourite "Sabrina the Teenage Witch", and the ABC Family sitcom "Melissa & Joey", alongside Joey Lawrence ("Blossom").

Fans in the US can catch "Clarissa Explains It All" regularly on The Splat! #TheSplat

Happy Birthday Jason!

To celebrate the 24th anniversary of Nickelodeon USA premiering the very first episode of the hit Classic Nickelodeon series "Clarissa Explains It All" on 23rd March 1991, "Clarissa" creator Mitchell Kriegman released a new book earlier this year called "Things I Can't Explain", which follows heroine Clarissa Darling as a woman in her mid-twenties!

Lord Poltergeist and his ghost mates perform "We're the Ghouls of the Briny Deep" on board the Haunted Houseboat in this spooktacular music video from the "SpongeBob SquarePants" Halloween episode "Ghoul Fools"! Sing-a-long with the lyrics below! Hit it, fingers!:



Ghouls: Yo, yo, ho, yo ho!

Patrick: They're good.

Ghouls: Oh, we're the ghouls of the briny deep.

Under the waves we like to creep.

Sleeping in coffins with spider webs

As ghostly pillows beneath our heads.

Oh, we're the ghouls of the briny deep.

Under the waves we like to creep.

We wear black shrouds that look quite neat.

But we don't own shoes, 'cause we have no feet.

Ha-ha-ha!

(musical interlude)

We like to haunt and frighten and scare

Till you jump right out of your underwear.

We like to eat eyes and brains.

And drink right out of rusty drains.

We don't keep animals like cute-sy snails.

SpongeBob: Gary!

Our favorite pets: the-Cat-O'-Nine-Tails!!!!!
