Alone in the Dark was really silly sometimes, but frightening in a creepy way. Just creepy. Also the intro is scarier than any horror movie I've seen.
Goosebumps was campy as all shit, and the special effects worsened the effect. Still an enjoyable show.
Are you Afraid
Goosebumps was a joke
AYAOTD is much better. The Goosebumps books were far better than the show
>>70194202
Are You Afraid of the Dark was much scarier, so i prefer that. Goosebumps was pretty good in it's own right but it didn't try to scare the everloving shit out of young children like the other show.
Goosebumps was more fun but ayaotd was better scare wise, of course they're both a joke now, but come home all alone when you're 8 it could be pretty scary.
Goosebumps and Animorphs should be saw as the stain on the pants for the 90s.
Goosebumps has already failed on trying to redeem itself, so Animorphs should be following soon and just shitting the bed on everything.
>>70195177
Nigga who the fuck was talking about animorphs.
>>70194202
Dark was fucking terrifying as a kid. Goosebumps had a few things here and there, but Dark would fuck your shit up hard and fast. Crimson Clown alone scared me more than anything in the Goosebumps show.
I will say though, there was a Goosebumps book where a kid died on Halloween and was being forced to dip his face in worms in Hell that beat out both shows.
>>70195248
Those dubs were.
They're for different age brackets. Goosebumps for younger kids and AYAOTD for older kids.
As an adult though, I prefer Goosebumps. AYAOTD was more hit & miss, like some episodes were just boring.
>>70195261
was that the episode in which a kid stole the nose from a clown in a fair or something and he later stalked him in his house? that shit freaked me out as a kid so much.
>mfw
The Goosebumbs movie was great, AYAOFD doesn't have one.
Wasn''t the Gosling in one of these shows?
>>70194202
Are You Afraid was definitely the scarier show. Even as a kid I thought most Goosebumps episodes were silly and not scary at all, Not to mention the god awful cg.
As an adult though, I think I like Goosebumps better.
also, when are we gonna stream this shit again? I remember we used to watch some episodes on InstaSync or whatever it's called, and it was pretty fun.
>>70195434
No, Crimson Clown was when a kid stole a video game and the clown stalked him home.
I sense a pattern here.
The Haunting Hour desu
>>70194202
Goosebumps had some interesting transformation horror and nasty permanent fates for the protags.
AYAOTD nosferatu episode and the episode with the ghost that would come through a door drawn in chalk on the wall scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
>>70195881
yeah YelloZippo's stream, I think people slowly stopped going cause he kept getting banned for advertising here
AYAOTD, Goosebumps, Freaky Stories
Best 3 shows about scary shit as a kid. After Tales from the Cryptkeeper went away FS came in. Good shit.
The scariest was that one kid getting trapped playing a pinball game forever. No one would hear him or see him. Permanently trapped into something he use to enjoy.
>>70194202
AYAOTD intro was miles ahead of goosebumps and was super comfy with the society parts.
however goosebumps had more rewatchability especially with my sis- it's more entry level.

Are You Afraid of the Dark was part of Nicks late night teen block called Snick and was the last show to air at 9:30PM. The show was more adult and aimed more towards teens at first.
In later years it became a little more kid friendly as a new cast took over in the late 90s
With the exeption of The Haunted Mask which aired on FOX on Halloween night at 8PM Goosebumps is more of a corny spooky show for kids.
Are You Afraid of the Dark had darker episodes which still hold up today.
Haunting Hour.
Best spooks, best qts
the only Goosebumps episodes that are remotely scary is The Haunted Mask and the sequel
>>70195880
He was in both actually
I SORTA DIED
>>70198227
This anon gets it.
>>70195712
Though the show was much better at emulating the feel and atmosphere of the books as well as actually trying to be scary.
>>70197058
Where's the Beetlejuice cartoon and Aah Real Monsters?

AYAOTD was a fun look at traditional gothic horror stories that spun them so they could be introduced to adolescents.
Goosebumps was written by a kike.
'Nuff said.
Goosebumps was silly creepy. It was a fun afternoon show.
AYAOTD was actually creepy.
>the two siblings with the faces
>>70199821
>Where's the Beetlejuice
Hes a late 90s kid as you can tell by his inclusion of the EXTREME Ghostbustesr instead of The Real Ghostbusters. Meaning he was probably born i the late 80s or early 90s instead of the early to mid 80s.
Hes the kind of anon who will say he hates Doug because he mostly remembers the shitty Disney's Doug rather than Nick's Doug.
>>70195037
THis.
Someone should do a stream sometime
>tfw instasync is down
I liked AYAOTD a lot better, though the bits in Goosebumps prior to the actual episode where R.L. was introducing the show kinda creeped me because of the guys weird mole.
I gave that Haunting Hour a shot and I swear I was just watching reshot episodes of AYAOTD.
>>70195712
>AYAOFD doesn't have one.
theres a direct to tv movie about a golden eye or something about
>>70203613
Oh shit. That fucking episode. Fuck. I'd almost forgotten.
Are you Afraid of the Dark scared me way more. Even that fucking opening sequence took me forever to not be scared of tho that was because watching it by myself one time and the power shut off during a storm.
>>70194202
What happened to the streams? I want to watch more spooky shows with /tv/
Watched both as a kid, Are you afraid of the dark was scarier for me.
The episode that haunts me to this day is when they go to a carnival? but take the wrong way and end up at some house and ice cream melts through the floor,
>>70203613
nightmare fuel till this day
>>70203938
The Shia ep with the doll was good
Stay out of the Basement was my favourite Goosebumps book the movie was meh
I was obsessed with Goosebumps books as a kid, but the show wasn't very good.
>>70194202
AYAotD made Goose bumps look like ginger beer

I had that and the Terror Tower episodes on VHS as a kid. Loved them both. So comfy and nice qts in both episodes.
>>70199571

slight audio distortions to make a "new sound" cannot hide it when you know it.
AYAOTD was definitely better if you mean having decent stories that would genuinely scare someone up to the age of ~13. Has almost a dozen absolutely high quality, good scare episodes.
I'm pretty sure Goosebumps only had two or three really good episodes to that effect and most of the time it was trying to be goofy or was goofy unintentionally.
>>70194202
favorite episodes have to be the one with the guy who paints girls into paintings and the bad mojo camera
>>70208312
Any AYAOTD episode recommendations? Tried to go through a bunch of them, but kept hitting all the lame ones.
As for Goosebumps, I'd unironically recommend:
Werewolf of Fever Swamp
The Haunted Mask
A Night in Terror Tower
Welcome to Dead House
Werewolf Skin
>>70202220
Wow, this post reeks of autism.
>>70194202
goosebumps was definitely the funny scary show
>that episode were the boy uses a sun tan lotion and turns into a dog
>>70194202
the episode with the killer potato scared the shit out of me as a kid
Dead Man's Float made me scared of the water for years.
Best AYAOTD episode by far.
>>70205362
>that skeleton
top kek
>>70208515
If you haven't already watched The Tale of the Dead Man's Float and The Tale of the Thirteenth Floor then I'd go there. They're pretty universally regarded as the scariest/most unsettling episodes in the entire series. They're also extremely well known so I'd be surprised if you hadn't seen themunless you're young
I still remember seeing Dead Man's Float live and being terrified of even bathing for several weeks.
>>70194202
I used to watch Are You Afraid of the Dark until my friend called me a pussy and said I should watch Tales of the Crypt. I told my mom about it so when she was at blockbuster she saw a movie called Tales From the Hood and got it for me thinking "hood" meant a Grim Reaper's hood.
No, it was black thug horror movie with plenty of drug use and killing.
>>70208678
Thanks, anon. Didn't have cable as a youngling so I only saw scraps of the show from Blockbuster and library rentals. The one where the kid drowns in the ravine on his bike and the one where the kid froze to death over night really fucked with me when I was eight.
>>70208786
was it good?
>>70208793
Just remember the advice is a double edged sword in that after Dead Man's Float and Thirteenth Floor the rest of the series seems pretty lame in comparison. Save for a few genuine turd episodes I enjoy the entire series as an encapsulation of my youth and life in the early 90s.
But seriously, Dead Man's Float is literally a better scare than anything "horror" related Hollywood has put out in 20 years.
The best was pic related. Not as spooky as AYAOTD but even as a kid you could tell it was more creative. Probably could still enjoy it as an adult because of based Joe Dante's aesthetics and cartoonish/satirical sense of humor.
>>70208515
The Tale of the Dead Man's Float
>that pool zombie people always post. good horror and qts
The Tale of the Hungry Hounds

The Tale of the Pinball Wizard
>A radical 90s teen saves a qt princess from a dungeon in a shopping mall. It's fucking cool.
The Tale of the Quicksilver
>a demon comes out of the wall. this fucked me up as a kid.

Reboot Series(Season 6 and beyond - not as good)
The Tale of Oblivion
>cool concept
The Tale of Bigfoot Ridge
>People outsmart a monster. great ep.
>>70209659
Best thing about this show is that for some reason Viacom doesn't give a shit about the entire series being uploaded on YouTube and all the episodes are up on there.

What is the RL Stine show that had a black host that pretended to be RL Stine? Anyone remember?
was i the only one that mixed up goosebumps, eerie indiana and ayaotd? when i was a kid i thought they were all one single show
