What Season 2 of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

The Midnight Society is a group of teenagers who secretly meet in the woods at night, around a campfire. Each week, one of them takes the floor and tells the others a horror story. Before they begin, they throw midnight dust into the fire so the flames rise and the smoke turns white. The tales involve demons, ghosts, haunted houses and curses that reach ordinary kids. Each episode follows the narrator's story, which viewers see acted out while the group listens from the clearing. Ross Hull and Daniel DeSanto lead the cast of the series, created by D.J. MacHale and Ned Kandel, which airs on Nickelodeon, YTV and Family Channel.
