'''Are You afraid of the Dark? '''is a 2014 horror anthology television series and a remake of the 1990's Canandian series of the same name. The series was followed by ''Are You Still Afraid of the Dark? ''

Overview
The shoe revolved around the Midnight Society; a group of friends who gathered in the forest after dark to tell macabre tales around the camp fire. It is stated that most of the group do not know each other outside of these meetings; however this changed later on as romance brewed in the gang.

The original members of the Midnight Society were;

Gary - The founder of the Midnight Society. His father owns a magic shop and he shares a fascination with magic, which his stories often center around. These stories often include 'Sardo,' the mysterious and shady owner of a magic shop.

Betty Ann - An outgoing and vibrant young girl who has a passion for the bizarre.

Kiki - A spunky, tomboyish African American girl who makes fun of others to deal with her turbulent home life.

David - A quiet and somewhat mysterious boy who secretly harbours a crush on Kristen.

Kristen - Although somewhat squeamish, she has a love for ghost stories and even fairy tales.

Frank - He is inducted in the first episode. He is a punkish youth who's stories often feature the recurring antagonist Dr. Vink.

Later, some more members joined the Midnight Society;

Tucker - The youngest Midnight Society member, he is also Gary's younger brother. He was pressured into letting Tucker join by his parents but Tucker proves his worth as a story teller.

Sam - Betty Ann's friend who was suggested as a member of the group and was accepted due to her story. She and Gary later developed a mutual crush and ultimately a relationship.

Stig - The last inducted member, he is suggested by Tucker and is also an accquaintance of Kiki, and she obviously dislikes him, making the other members weary. However, he nearly wins them over with his first story. Despite this, they're personal feelings force them to put of letting him join until he tells a few more tales. He is ultimately successful and becomes a member.

Some years later, there came a second generation of the Midnight Society, formed by Tucker and made up by his friends;

Quinn - Although he usually gets into trouble at school, he often knocks out cringe-worthy (in a good way) stories.

Vange - Short for Evangelina, the youngest group member and a tomboy. She doesn't a problem with speaking her mind.

Andy - Hopelessly kind and sweet, Andy usually tells the most gruesome stories and has a secret crush on Megan. He is often made fun of by Vange and Quinn.

Megan - A rich girl who is uncomfortable in the woods, but Tucker insists that that is where they must hold the meetings. She ultimately winds up with Andy.

Season 1

The Tale of Laughing in the Dark - Frank has been chosen to become the latest member of the Midnight Society. However, he must first tell them a story to win them over. In 1929, during the Great Depression, a clown named Zeebo attempts to rob the carnival at which he works, but becomes trapped inside of the spookhouse and drops his cigar, and then perishes in the fire. In the present day, two siblings and their friend attend the carnival, which now holds the spookhouse as it's biggest attraction, mainly to the legend of Zeebo and the rumour that the spookhouse is haunted by his ghost. The friend dares the boy to enter the spookhouse to prove he is not afraid. The boy ups the ante by stating that he will steal the nose from the Zeebo dummy within and if he does not cave, the friend must wear it in school for a weak. After doing so, however, the boy begins having strange things happen to him, such as cigars appearing in his dinner and hearing laughing at night. He soon finds a balloon in his closet with the words 'Give it Back!' scrawled on it. He then begins to see Zeebo follwoing him, appearing at his school, in his neighbourhood and outside his window at night. He finally decides to return the nose to Zeebo, but must first break into the spookhouse. As such, he is confronted by the crazy old carney. The boy throws the nose at the carney's head, causing him to lose his balance and fall over, provoking a domino effect which leads to the spookhouse burning down and killing the carney while the boy escapes. In the end, Frank is accepted into the Midnight Society.
