The twists and turns in the plot here are great. The story is pretty engaging and suspenseful, but the special effects are just atrocious. I would have given this episode a higher rating had they come up with something more original than a UFO-like beam and blue glowing light. Something about them just give this episode a cheesy feeling, a downfall of many Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes. But to be realistic, though not completely fair, it was the 90's. Even now special effects aren't always great...so at least this show has an excuse.moreless

- (Story Intro) Sam: What if there was something really important, that you had to do, but something big, kept you form doing it? Frank: Like what? Sam: Like maybe... Death. Always say what you have to say, and always do what you have to do, because if you don't, you might not get a second chance. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story... The Tale Of The Room For Rent.
