    That was back in the days of Harry and the Hendersons, Californian Dreams and Boogies Diner (doubt anyone will remember that!) Are You Afraid of the Dark was much better than that Goosebumps sh*ite! They all probably look pathetic now :o

    AYAOTD came almost 5 years before Goosebumps.

    Was more of a fan of Eerie Indiana myself, it was like a 'Twilight Zone' for kids, but not condescending, and pretty close to the bone with the plots and sfx..

    I loved that show as a kid but it is prob so so dated now it would kill me to watch it.

    Nope, Wil Wheaton didnt appear in any of the Goosebumps/Eerie/Are you afraid programmes.

    I liked that show alright. Don't think there's any equivalent to it on kid's TV now.

    There were a fair few well known guest stars on it, like Melissa Joan Hart.

    The remade Eerie Indiana a few years back, not as good as the original series. They had a episode which had the orginal show feature as another version of the new show.

    6pm shows on Network Two before The Simpsons. I was always annoied that they didn't continue to run Garfeild and friends, which took over form Jo Maxi.

    I loved 'The Odyssey', what a show.

    Fantastic show. Used to give me the willies.

    Pretty sure we used to play a drinking game for it when we were older.

    I'm afraid of Zombie threads in the dark.

    The intro always freaked me out as a child. Some of the imagery is pretty freaky as an adult too...
