    Episode 3 - The Tale of the Lonely Ghost

    Episode 3 - The Tale of the Lonely Ghost
    Hey Zeebs! This week we rewatch the 3rd episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark. The Tale of the Lonely Ghost is about Amanda who goes to stay with her Aunt and bratty cousin, Beth because her parents are "some sort of scientists" that needed to have a break from their daughter. She meets the "lonely ghost" which happens to be a little girl that dies under questionable circumstances. Ashley discusses her fear of creepy ghost children, while Ryan questions why Beth yells at everyone for no reason. As always we hand out our prestigious awards and decide if this episode is even that good! Later Zeebs! (Ryan really wants to make that a thing now.).

    Episode 2: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark

    Episode 2: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark
    This week we rewatch the second episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark. It's about a boy who makes a bet with his friend to steal a clown nose from whatever a spook house is. We discuss why we clowns are creepy. Also we get quite literal and talk about why we are afraid of the dark. Will this episode get our Betty Ann stamp of approval or will we be sulky like good old Eric and just think its okay? Listen now!

    Episode 1: The Tale of the Phantom Cab

    Episode 1: The Tale of the Phantom Cab
    Here we go ROC friends! We take on Are You Afraid of the Dark's very first episode, The Tale of the Phantom Cab. It's a story about two brothers who get lost in the woods and find themselves in several bad situations. We discuss ALL of the red flags the boys don't care about and question why they even spend time together in the first place. We find a surprising connection between one of the cast and a currently famous child actor. Of course, we decide if this episode deserves an enthusiastic Betty Ann thumbs up or a reluctant Eric thumbs up. (Go check out our Instagram to see both of these in all their glory! )
