As Someone who read all the books the OG series waaay better than this trash

I'm liking this. The old series was fine but I thought Are You Afraid of the Dark was better with that format.

I'm just gonna assume that shyt is for kids today, no need to peep it. Trailer was weak.

I really enjoyed the books as a kid and thinking back it feels like that was a different world. I used to go to the library and borrow Goosebumps books. They used to have a poster listing when the new ones would arrive, and I'd show up on time hoping to get a copy first. My parents would also pick up the older books at book stores or the Salvation Army. I had a lot, many of which are still at my parents' house I bet lol.

I'm so thankful to my parents for ensuring I read a lot as a child. And the variety of stuff was dope, looking back. Award winning children's books, Goosebumps, classic books (Treasure Island!), Lord Of The Rings, etc. Not to mention getting to high school and reading 1984, Lord Of The Flies, Animal Farm, Catch 22, etc. I get so many literary references due to the amount of stuff I read as a child. It made me a better writer, which made English classes a breeze for me from high school through college. It made me a better listener. Today it seems like kids don't read anything beyond tweets or TikTok stuff. Brains are rotting, ideas aren't being challenged, kids aren't learning.

I think that even applies with adults. I rediscovered my love for reading last month and already finished 7 or so books.

[Hoshi_Toshi]

Man. What the hell was that ending? Why would they add those last 2 episodes?

 

[Wise]

I just found out they rebooted Are You Afraid of the Dark

Is that any good?

 

[Deltron]

Season 2 out

[Deltron]

3 eps in, and they really expecting us to believe Ross is in his 40's in 2024?

he look as hell

Shoulda just put Justin Long back as a main guy again, since he's around 40's anyway

Just started this… what’s so fukkin hard about actually adapting the books like the original series with modern effects?

I think the creators of those Netflix fear street movies need to work on this. You could still somehow make it an overarching story if done right
