Whell .. I'm not sure of what to say, but the only thing that I can say now is that it's my favourite episode.I remember that I see this episode when I was 11 years old .. ' Are you afraid of the dark' is one of my favourite TV shows! Now I can see it just in internet, because here in Brazil, Nickelodeon it's not showing this program anymore.
Others episodes that I like are: ' The Tale of The Phone Police', ' The tale of the Doll Maker' and ' The Tale of the Old Man Corcoran . =D 'moreless

This is one of the better episodes in season 7. Oddly, it wasn't really predictable, which is a nice change from many of the very unoriginal "you can see it coming" episodes that dominate this season. Though it still doesn't hold a candle to the unmatched creativity and wonder of the first five seasons...and even a select few of season 6, it certainly holds a place among the top episodes of season 7.moreless
