  The Tale of the Carved Stone

  Aug 17, 202649 min

  This week it's Dave's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the seventh episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Carved Stone. We're struck with yet another story about how hard it is to be the new kid in town as well as how nasty and mean Canadian teenagers can be but on the bright side, it's a Frank story and you know what that means. Everyone's favorite homosexual small business owner makes an appearance and tries to shake a thirteen year old down for way more money than a child is likely to have.

  The Tale of the Dollmaker

  Aug 3, 202646 min

  This week it's Aileen's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the fifth episode of the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Dollmaker. This episode hits us with some AYAOTD classic tropes. You get a kid abandoned by their parents for a time, a complete lack of anything that you could call a dollmaker, and people being real weird about trauma. In this episode we find Melissa spending some time at her aunt and uncle's place. She's eager to hang out with their neighbor, a girl her own age but is shocked to learn that this friend of her vanished mysteriously and no trace of her was ever found. What's worse, her parents were so broken up about it that they packed up and moved away and no one will talk about the lingering horror of this disappearance. They just keep pushing it down. But because it's Are You Afraid of the Dark, Melissa keeps breaking into the empty neighbor house and discovers some really weird stuff going down in that attic.
