His inspiration for The Sixth Sense (1999) was based on an episode from "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" (1992).

-according to imdb

man I remember saying that in highschool and no one fucking believed me and thought it was such an original concept (a man turning out to be dead the whole time)

7/1/2006 5:20:47 PM

duh

and "Are You Afraid of the Dark" wasnt the first to do it either, that story has been done hundreds of times

Just so everyone knows, Are You Afraid Of The Dark was a shitty show.

7/2/2006 10:10:53 AM

But the theme music creeped me out as a kid.

7/2/2006 12:56:38 PM

i liked the one with the closet in the basement of the house that would eat people whenever they played music.

I'm 26 now but these 6 or 7 year old kids I used to live beside when I was like 12 used to love that fucking show and talked about it all the time.

It was probably one of you fucktards.

7/2/2006 10:48:44 PM

7/2/2006 10:57:27 PM

7/2/2006 11:20:58 PM

7/3/2006 2:53:28 PM

^x6

i fucking hated roundhouse.

7/3/2006 2:58:27 PM

there were two episodes of "are you afraid of the dark?" that freaked me out--the one with the haunted attic that would turn people into dolls (UGH!) and the one with the clown where the dude stole his nose and he followed him home from the circus.

now that i think about it...that was prolly the first clown i was ever afraid of...long before i saw poltergeist.

but i don't remember the one about the already dead guy...what else happened in that one?

I just watched one on Youtube, where the kid hears a radio station and goes to the DMV for dead people. They give him a SLAP BRACLET with a number on it!

I was like, bwa ha ha ha ha

7/3/2006 3:03:26 PM

the one with the dead girl in the mirror always freaked me out. she would write crazy shit on the wall.

and i'll go ahead and second:

The Magic Glasses

7/3/2006 3:05:42 PM

I'm watching that one where that girl has to spend the night in this place next door

I remember being freaked at this cause it seemed terrible what happened to that kid and then i think some girl disapears in a closet

7/3/2006 3:06:21 PM

^^haha, that was a good one

i think my all time favorite was the pinball machine one. at the end when the giant pinball was rolling through the mall, priceless.

7/3/2006 3:11:02 PM

^^oh i remember that! he's supposed to save the clerk in the store who's a princess in the game...and just when he thinks he's won the game you see the creepy pinball machine maker or whatever adding another coin? hahahahahahaha
