Eli, David, and friend of the show Dr. Kiser look at the second episode of AYAOTD: Ghost Island. It has ghosts, romance, and questionable accents, but does it have scares?

David and Mallory face the horrors of the written word as they review three of the Are You Afraid of the Dark novels from the 90s, as well as a special BONUS book! Listener beware, you're in for a whole lot of nonsense.

You know what's not nonsense? Activism and fighting back against the assholes trying to destroy this country. GET INVOLVED.

It's the beginning of the end! Again! David and Eli begin their trip to Ghost Island, where the sun is shining, the bellhops are jerks, and the Room 13s are haunted as hell.

We celebrate Halloween 2025 with our review of the ONE HUNDREDTH episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Darkhouse! AYAOTD expert Bryce and Mallory (the fiancé) join Eli and David to talk Halloween movie recommendations, justice for SarDO, and whether or not Curse of the Shadows lives up to the Are You Afraid of the Dark name. Plus, our traditional Fraidy awards for Season 9 of AYAOTD!

David, Eli, and friend of the show Bryce look at the penultimate episode of Curse of the Shadows! Is this the darkest episode in show history? What will become of our new Midnight Society? And who was the real fifth Beatle? All these questions and more will be answered in The Tale of the Midnight Magic!

We enter the second half of AYAOTD: Curse of the Shadows with the Tale of the Danse Macabre! Friend of the show Dr. Blair Abell-Kiser sits down with us as we check out the glow dance, a magic show, and maaaaaybe a drug deal? It's an episode that really has everything!

We reach the halfway point of AYAOTD: Curse of the Shadows with the Tale of the Phantom Light! The lore in this episode comes hard and fast, like a natural high. Plus, we talk ghosts, lighthouses, and fake 90's heartthrobs.

Eli, David, and special guest Mallory explore episode two of Curse of the Shadows! Kids are scared, revelations are made, and pants may or may not be pooped.

The hiatus is officially over. We dive head-first into Are You Afraid of the Dark: Curse of the Shadows, as it challenges everything we know about AYAOTD! Plus, David has some big announcements.

We hath risen.

In honor of 4/20, we watch Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, the classic cartoon crossover that convinced a generation that drugs were cooler than the Smurfs and Winnie the Pooh. Also featuring George H. W. Bush and a big bag of cr*ck! (Can we say that here?)

We also talk about plans for our new season.

Check out The Uncertain Hour and their series on Bush 41 and the war on drugs:
