  • The Tale of the Captured Souls
    Feb 17 2026

    Aileen takes the 9:30 Society through The Tale of the Captured Souls, a movie that has us raising eyebrows at movies like Get Out and Weapons since they bare more than a passing resemblance to this episode, a resemblance so strong that Dave is outraged on behalf of the Are You Afraid of the Dark writers.

    This week's episode pits our audience stand-in, Dani, at the worst Air BnB in Halifax where the only staff on site is a weird kid with anachronistic clothing, weird hair, and an even weirder personality. Instead of kicking it and putting her feet up, Dani and her family spend the whole vacation entertaining the weirdest latchley kid you've ever seen. Pretty soon, though, her parents start to age prematurely and the kid seems to be getting younger. What could possibly be going on here?

    This week Bryan takes the 9:30 Society though the sixth episode of the first season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Super Specs. In this episode the most annoying teenager in Canada, a. boy named Weeds, is so obsessed with pranks and practical jokes that he accidentally saddles his girlfriend with a pair of prank glasses that can see into a parallel dimension seemingly inhabited by spooky shadow people. They enlist the flamboyant owner of a magic shop to help them get rid of these cursed specs but things take an unexpected turn.

  • The Tale of the Hungry Hounds
    Feb 3 2026

    This week it's all about horse girls, generational trauma, and spiritual possession. Dogs come along eventually but the title is fairly misleading. End of the day, though, don't go climbing spectral staircases in the woods and definitely don't be honking your horn around horses.

    It's another classic Are You Afraid of the Dark set up as city girl meets country girl when two cousins spend the summer together. One of them ends up possessed by the spirit of an ancestor long ago trampled by horses and she is suddenly tasked with grim duty of feeding the hunting dogs. If she can't find the kibble, she might have to feed her cousin to the dogs.
