Laughing in the Dark

In this episode, Bryan tells The 9:30 Society about the 10th episode of the first season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of Jake and the Leprechaun, in which a kid who just wants to fulfill his dream of acting in a play ends up groomed by a creature of Irish folklore (sort of) and gets magical help from another creature from Irish folklore. There's bad accents, a hideous subtext about a grown man and a young boy, and a super cringe portrayal of little people in this one.

In this episode Dave takes the 9:30 Society through the 9th episode of the first season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice in which a dorky loser named Dean falls under the wicked spell of an ancient wizard who promises him power, influence, and a cool leather jacket in exchange for his help in bringing him back from the great beyond. Lucky for Dean, his unshakeable friendship with a girl named Alix, will turn out to be strong enough to resist the pull of Cool Dean Magic.

This week, Mikie tells the 9:30 Society about the season 1 Are You Afraid of the Dark episode, The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors in which Emma and her brother Dayday witness the new neighbors moving into the house next door in the middle of night. When they next meet them they turn out to be a couple and their young son. They also have Eastern European accents and claim to be from "The Ukraine". Obviously this could only mean that they're vampires. Obsessed, Emma hatches a plan to hunt her neighbors and ropes her poor brother into ther nefarious plan.

Aileen takes the 9:30 Society through The Tale of the Captured Souls, a movie that has us raising eyebrows at movies like Get Out and Weapons since they bare more than a passing resemblance to this episode, a resemblance so strong that Dave is outraged on behalf of the Are You Afraid of the Dark writers. 
This week's episode pits our audience stand-in, Dani, at the worst Air BnB in Halifax where the only staff on site is a weird kid with anachronistic clothing, weird hair, and an even weirder personality. Instead of kicking it and putting her feet up, Dani and her family spend the whole vacation entertaining the weirdest latchley kid you've ever seen. Pretty soon, though, her parents start to age prematurely and the kid seems to be getting younger. What could possibly be going on here?
