We conclude season 3 of Are You Afraid of the Dark with the excellent Tale of the Dangerous Soup! What exactly are Dr. Vink's credentials as a doctor or a chef, and how does he work as either without a hair net? Meanwhile, Eli and David compare their Christmas vacations, David plugs Medieval Times, and we educate listeners on THE GRACKLE.

It's our annual holiday spook-tacular! We watch the scariest episode of season 3, the Tale of the Crimson Clown! Hope you weren't a rotten kid this year, because NOBODY'S GONNA HELP YOU. Meanwhile, David and Eli speculate on the awesomeness of a Zeebo video game, and we talk about the hottest 90 Nickelodeon gifts this holiday season.

We finally settle the debate on a divisive episode: The Tale of the Quicksilver! Did anybody in this episode read the instructions BEFORE attempting to summon a hellspawn? And who thought a spoon attached to a stick was the most effective way to ward one off?

Meanwhile, Eli and David talk Nintendo, David pitches a more violent Scooby-Doo ending, and we finally hear from our live studio audience!

Eli and David check out the most important episode of season 3, The Tale of the Dream Girl! What this episode lacks in scares, it more than makes up for in its story, acting, and sexy, sexy sax music. Plus, we plan a trip around the globe, and David makes yet another amazing Youtube discovery. The Big Man might even make an appearance!

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR COMPUTER. This week, David and Eli flip over to Fox Kids and watch Goosebumps! We check out Say Cheese and Die, based on the best-selling book of the same name, and see how it handles the whole haunted camera thing.

There's a lot to unpack in this episode, and we spend a while talking about our memories of Fox Kids, Eli's amazing Goosebumps merch, and our relationship with the show and books in general. Plus, COOLIO makes multiple appearances and David debuts a new theme song for the show. Listener beware, you're in for a scare!

This week, we review The Tale of the Carved Stone, and Eli is a little drunk. As a result, we play pretty fast and loose with this madcap episode with a ridiculous villain. Meanwhile, Eli can't tell movie themes apart, David practices his ukulele skills, and...did I mention Eli is kind of drunk? Hear his thrilling tale.
