On October 15, 2024, the beloved horror anthology miniseries based on the ‘90s kids’ cult classic, Are You Afraid of the Dark? will be available as a limited series three-season collection through Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon. The series introduces all-new Midnight Society groups of kids who tell terrifying tales that lead to spooky and shocking revelations!
This nostalgic remake sends the viewers on spooky adventures in three short mini series: Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019), Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows (2021), and Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Ghost Island (2022). Are You Afraid of the Dark? The Limited Series Three-Season Collection (affiliate link) releases in time for the holidays with 3 DVD cases in a giftable slipcase and will be available on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment for the suggested retail price of $13.99.
I got the chance to review the collection, and here is what I thought!
The first mini-series, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, premiered in October 2019, introducing fans, new and old, to a new Midnight Society. However, telling a story in this series could make it come to life. In season two, Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows, fans follow a new group of kids as they learn of a terrifying curse and a mysterious creature. The third and final season included in the three-season collection is, Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Ghost Island. This season features another new group of Midnight Society members as they go on vacation to a resort island. Only spooky mirrors, ghostly figures, and a curse is more than they bargained for.
Each of these movies I have reviewed individually in my blog. Click the following links to read each review.

A quick rundown, I love them. They are nastalgia wrapped in a little cursed blanket, ready to watch for the Halloween season.
As for a review of this Are You Afraid of the Dark? The Limited Series Three-Season Collection set, my thoughts are this.
- We know I love the seasons and watching the stories unfold. Ever since the first Midnight Society took to the screen, I was hooked. I loved this more than Goosebumps. So releasing this set is a no brainer.
- I love the fact that the three seasons are being released together. This will certainly save fans money allowing us to buy a boxed set.
- I adore the fact that each season has it’s own individual case and I am not dealing with sliding DVDs scratching each other.
- The sleeve that holds the three cases together is a nice touch and looks great on my DVD shelf. The only thing that could have made this better was if they had made the spines of each case make an image, like the hand holding the flame.
- The Special Features are a fun nod to my childhood and worth a watch!
