Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Hot on the heels of the Slayer: A Buffyverse Story audible announcement comes another treat for horror fans. Starting today, fans of perennial gateway horror favorite Are You Afraid of the Dark? can now check out Are You Afraid of The Dark? The Official Podcast on Audible. You can listen to all the episodes here!

The new original series follows a new generation of Midnight Society members as they contend with all manner of spooky Halloween haunts. Both the original and rebooted live-action series are additionally available to stream on Paramount+ for those still filling out their Halloween watchlists. Audible notes the series is appropriate for the whole family, with Are You Afraid of The Dark? The Official Podcast looking to bring classic gateway chills into an entirely new medium. The series looks to take advantage of the “theater of your mind,” augmenting tension with creaking floorboards, rustling woods, and whispers in the audience’s ears.

We’re big fans of the original series here at Dread Central, and our own Josh Korngut has even revisited some of the scariest episodes of the original series. Check out the full list of episode descriptions for Are You Afraid of The Dark? The Official Podcast below and let me know over on Twitter @Chadiscollins what you think of the new series!

Episode 266: Opus Writer/Director Mark Anthony Green and Michael Jackson's Thriller (1983)
This week we were unbelievably excited to chat with writer and director Mark Anthony Green! We talk about his feature film debut Opus, working with musical icons The-Dream and Nile Rodgers, Ayo Edebiri's star power and the eccentricities (and graciousness) of John Malkovich. Mark Anthony shares a fantastic story of John on set and so much more before we dig a bit into his horror history and find out why Michael Jackson's Thriller music video scared him as a kid. A shorter episode this week, but easily one of our favorite conversations in a long while. Don't miss it. And go see Opus in theaters!Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
