Basically the show is like Goosebumps but it's overtly Canadian and way scarier. ~laughs~ I hadn't thought about Are You Afraid of the Dark? being Canadian, but there were definitely some scary moments on there! It was a very interesting program. Yeah It's Canadian and also just like Goosebumps, it was also a book series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Afraid_of_the_Dark%3F_(book_series) Some of my favorite episodes from this show include: The Tale of The Pinball Wizard, The Tale of The Dead Man's Float, and The Tale of The Dark Music. Have you heard of The Haunting Hour? It's a modern children's horror anthology show and i hear it's based on some of R.L Stine's works. There are some really scary episodes that skeeve me out such as: Mascot, Red Eye, Dreamcatchers, etc. It aired on Discovery Family and ended in December of 2014. If you're into horror anthology shows, I say give that show a watch. Yeah, R.L Stine was the author of the Goosebumps book series. 'The Haunting Hour' is pretty more unsettling than 'Goosebumps.'  My favorite 'Goosebumps' episodes probably include: 'The Headless Ghost,' 'The Ghost Next Door,' and there was one about some kids trying to trick the protagonist into an old haunted house. The protagonist fools the same kids that nearly got him spirited away, by having them going into the house. They end up meeting the ghosts: a man and a woman that march down the stairs, holding hands and saying, "We're coming, we're here!"

Does anybody remember that one? I think it was called "The House of No Return". The Haunted Mask was one of my favorite episodes.

While "The House of No Return" was not actually a book written by R. L. Stine, it was one of the short stories in the book, "Tales To Give You Goosebumps". Just an interesting fact.

I never really watched the show as a kid, but I have read and actually still own a large majority of the books. I was always a fan of "One Day at Horrorland", "A Shocker on Shock Street", and "The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight". I have no idea if there was any episodes of them and if they were any good, but the books were entertaining at the time and great children's literature.
