Күн бұрын

"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" is a 90s children's horror anthology show that air on Nickelodeon. The show is about kids who sit around a campfire and tell scary stories (also known as the Midnight Society) and us as the audience get to watch those scary stories.
In todays video we take a look at "The Tale of the Ghastly Grinner" a comic book villain brought to life to terrorize the kids of the episode. He has the power to laugh so loud it causes his victims to turn into "Giggling Idiots", so his victims just laugh until blue goo comes drooling out of their mouth. The Grinner himself has a terrifying aura and with his horrifying laugh and hideous smile he if definitely one of the SCARIEST villain's in all of "Are you Afraid of the Dark".

@@kingnusmiDevil May Cry 3 had a monster clown as well, that being Jester, Arkham's alter ego. The fact everyone(Dante, Vergil, and Lady) gets annoyed by his mere presence and Adam D Clark's performance as both characters really made them sound distinct. Hell, the entire voice acting of DMC3 is so damn good(including Reuben Langdon as Dante, Daniel Southworth as Vergil, Kari Wahlgren/Stephanie Cheeva as Lady, Larry Leong as the demons/Cerberus/Beowulf/Agni & Rudra, Lani Minella as Hell Vanguard, and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Nevan). One of the best exchanges between characters was during Mission 13: "Don't be a bad girl, Mary." *Throws her* "Or you'll expect a spanking from daddy later!" "Ahahahahahaha!" 🎵Jester's gonna spank your butt, spank you in the buuuuuuutt!🎵 "Insane buffoon!"

This is a very interesting and frightening episode with a cool and frightening monster here. It's like the Joker with deadly powers of making others laugh to be kinda like him. Or as the description to his super powers says, "the power of his looks being so ugly that makes other people into giggling idiots". Or something around those lines. One of my favorite episodes for Are you Afraid of the Dark. Cool to see you do another video for a episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark. Hope to see you cover more episodes here since so far you did only two here. I recommend checking out the clown episodes of this show. Or if you want less creepy laughs and clowns, I also recommend watching, "The Tale of the Hatching".

To be fair, the only thing Ethan's parents really did was tell him to get his grades up or they would take his art supplies away, which i think is more then called for if his grades were slipping that badly. Seems like they may have been a little absent emotionally, but that is a common pit fall for a lot of parents. They weren't perfect parents obviously, but who parents really are/were? Not to mention, who bought all those art supplies for him in the first place? I think they were a bit more supportive then we are lead to believe. Great video btw!

There is one Are You afraid of the Dark? episode that stuck with me all this time. Well, one of many, but this one in particular because it's weird. "Station 109.1" is about a kid obsessed with funerals and sleeping like a corpse in the coffin. One day he hears a radio station 109.1 in a hearse or something? And it turns out this is radio for the dead souls. Apparently Ryan Gosling played the kid.
