Are You Afraid of the Dark?

          Being a 90's kid myself, Nickelodeon's recent decision to bring back its shows from the 90's in a new block called "The 90's are All That" on their Teen Nick network was possibly the greatest news that I've heard in a long time. The internet has been abuzz with petitions and Facebook groups begging the kids' station to bring back all of these programs since the day they were cancelled. Momentum has grown over the years and it seems that the channel's executives have finally heard the calls from thousands of fans: "bring back the 90's!"

     Well, you're probably wondering why I'm posting this on Cryptic Happenings. No, it's not just me gushing over the fact that we'll all get to have Clarissa explain "it all" to us again (while battling her evil, ginger brother of course), or that we'll get to see Doug chase after his beloved Patty Mayonnaise, or even that we'll find out how much Kel actually loves orange soda... On second thought, yeah, I am sort of gushing, but the main point in me even bringing this all up is because Nickelodeon has also said that it will be focusing on bringing back almost all of its classic favorites including "Are You Afraid of the Dark". Who can't recall that creepy show opening that terrified us all as kids, or the weird sand stuff they would throw into the campfire while telling the night's scary story, or even better yet, the infamous clown episode? 

       Sure, the acting on the show was horrendous and the effects were completely laughable, but as a kid, even I have to admit that show used to scare the hell out of me.


    Nickelodeon has yet to comment on when they will be airing this and many of our other classic favorites, but for now we'll just have to sit back on the orange couch with a bottle of orange soda and enjoy reruns of "Doug", "All That", "Clarissa Explains it All", and "Kenan and Kel". You can catch them all weeknights on Teen Nick @ Midnight EST.

Ghost Adventures Season Premier

The Ghost Adventures Crew returns this week for an epic season premier in the infamous haunted hot-spot, Gettysburg, Pa. I myself had some awesome experiences there, and of course, being the history freak that I am, started to get more and more excited the more I heard about this episode... 

Thanks to the awesome people at the Travel Channel, I was treated to a rough-cut pre-showing of the episode before it airs this Friday, and let me tell you, this was by far my favorite investigation to date! There was so much to investigate in Gettysburg that the team had to break the lock down up into 3 different parts: The Soldiers National Museum, The Jennie Wade House, and the Engine House. I don't want to give anything away so you guys will just have to wait to check it out for yourselves.

Don't miss this 3-part lock down season premier event on the Travel Channel this Friday 9 E/P!

 

La Purisima Mission

Hey everyone, don't forget to catch the new episode of Ghost Adventures tomorrow night! According to the Travel Channel,

"The Ghost Adventures crew investigates the haunted occurrences at the La Purisima Mission in Lompoc, California. The former Spanish residence of padres, soldiers and the native Chumash is beautiful, but the air around it is heavy with the tragedy of disease and war. At La Purisima the sounds of flutes and the voices of the long-gone inhabitants still linger. Trapped within its white-washed walls, the spirits seem bound to this land, forever locked in their struggle with each other."
Here's a video preview from the Travel Channel:
