Are You
Afraid Of The Dark? The Complete Series 3 & 4
“Gather
round the campfire, deep in
the shadows of the woods…
And be afraid. Be very afraid…
of The Dark...”
CAST YOUR MIND BACK to the show that haunted you during your childhood. The
one that you wished you hadn't watched but were glad all the same that
you did. The show that had you sitting on the edge of your seat, afraid to watch
but equally afraid to miss out on.
Are You Afraid Of The Dark? now comes to DVD — the Complete Series
3 & 4, with 26 spine-chilling episodes to give you the shivers all over again
— just like they did when you watched them on Children's ITV and Nickelodeon.
When the clock strikes twelve, the six members of The Midnight Society gather
in the darkness. Around a campfire deep inside the woods, they let their imagination
run wild.
One by one, they tell spine-chilling stories of ghastly ghosts who possess the
souls of
the living and evil spirits who inhabit the darkest corners of our own minds.
Frank (Jason Alisharan), Gary (Ross Hull, Stargate Atlantis, Student
Bodies), Betty Ann (Raine Pare-Coull), Kiki (Jodie Resther) and newcomers
Tucker (Daniel De Santo, Beyblade, Mean Girls) and Sam (Joanna
Garcia, American Pie, Not Another Teen Movie) have to keep up
their membership by taking it in turns to scare the living daylights out of
each other.
Directed by long-established television director David Winning (Blood Ties,
Stargate Atlantis, Goosebumps), tales of the dark are spun out
one by one. The Tale Of The Midnight Ride is a modern take on The
Legend Of Sleepy Hollow with Ian (Tighe Swanson) and Katie (Rachel Wilson)
coming face to face with the ghost of Ichabod Crane (Arthur Holden).
The Tale Of Apartment 214 sees Stacy Cooper (Lea Helen Weir) and her
mother Bonnie (Denise McLeod) move into an apartment to become neighbours of
elderly ghost Madeline Koegel (Beth Amos), who is lonely. When Stacy breaks
a promise, Madeline disappears
only to return distraught and blaming Stacy for her mistake.
One very sinister story is The Tale Of Watcher's Woods. While away at
Camp Gindlestone, super-achiever Sarah (Kendall Saunders) and the distinctly
unfriendly Kelly (Jewel Staite) get lost in the terrifying Watcher's Woods —
a place where three young girls disappeared some seventy years before and were
never seen again. Only their whistles were ever found. Sarah and Kelly meet
some very unsavoury ladies and the menacing Watcher of the woods (Tom Rack)
and Kelly is forced to overcome her phobia of rats in order to escape from the
nightmare.
Crazy clowns, ghastly ghouls, ghosts with unfinished business, dark demons,
lost souls, maniacal laughter, graveyards, thunderstorms and banging shutters
— whatever your fear, these tales are so frightening; so chilling and so
real that they seem to take on a life of their own. Or perhaps… they live
among us.
