Are you ready for a meeting of the Midnight Society? A new clip from the reboot of Are You Afraid of the Dark premiered at New York Comic-Con, and it does not disappoint. Come, click through, and join us in the…
CARNIVAL OF DOOM!

The new show is willing to get scarier than the original, and it’s also not afraid of nostalgia! While the new tales will be told by an all new Midnight Society (with Sam Ashe Arnold as Gavin, Miya Cech as Akiko, Tamara Smart as Louise, IT‘s Jeremy Ray Taylor as Graham, and Lyliana Wray as Rachel) the opening credits will riff on the originals, with some shots directly homaged. Plus, Easter eggs will abound:
The new Are You Afraid of the Dark show will have tons of horror movie easter eggs. Many of the characters’ last names are nods to horror directors. 👻 #nycc #AreYouAfraidoftheDark #fuelyourfandom
