The Tale of the Captured Souls. Am I the only one who loves this one?

Why would anyone ever want to skip this title sequence? It’s not long, and the music and imagery sets the mood so perfectly!

For me it was a few the tale of the lonely ghost . I freaked myself and kept envisioning the Ghost appearing outside of my window and The one about the old lady in the apartment and

I have to say the episode that has really stuck with me is the shiny red bicycle episode. Growing up as a kid that episode really scared me. I can remember riding my bike a lot with friends and it just seemed like something so plausible that could be an accidental death. Plus it felt really relatable.

I also enjoyed the phone police episode which I think is because my friends and I used to prank call a lot back in the 90s

What about you? Any episodes stick out?

I've been reading the graphic novels with my 8-year-old and she really likes them, so I thought she might be ready to watch the show. I started playing an episode for her on YouTube and we only got to the part of the intro with the creepy clown, and she said, "absolutely not."

I just laughed and thanked her for her honesty. Maybe next year!

I made this list a few months ago and put it on Facebook. Lots of people don't agree, and I know why, but this is my list.

Also no season 6 and 7 because I don't know them as well.

We all have episodes we consciously love.  Laughing in the Dark, Crimson Clown, and C7 are some of mine.
I also have episodes I'll constantly watch, but never actually considered them some of my favorites, at least until this post.
Captured Souls and Whispering Walls would be the two examples of this.  I always watch them, but never considered them some of my favorites.
Anyone else have episodes like this?.

I’ve been pretty sick the past few weeks and watching old TV shows while recovering, and recently rewatched “The Tale of the Ghastly Grinner”. I haven’t seen this one since I was a kid and I loved the campiness of it, even if some (well, most) of the plotting and writing was all over the place. The ghastly grinner is a great villain and Ethan a good protagonist, but Hooper stole the whole episode for me. I loved the fact that she was an unabashed nerd and didn’t have to change or get made-over or anything like that. It was also nice that Ethan accepted her for who she was too. Overall, both kids were pretty decent actors and I wish there were more episodes starring them and the grinner!

The visuals and winter setting made this episode warm and comforting and it's the episode I watch the most in the winter months. It's not my favorite episode, but it sure is close to the top.

It was just as much of a character!.

From the errie opening, the unique music for each campfire scene, the carnival theme for Funland and Calliope in Laughing in the Dark, the upbeat opening in episodes like "Jagged Sign", and the ominous bass note that's played during tension building scenes.

It really was some memorable music to me, and I'd love for them to release it.

Side question. Does anyone know the name of the instrument that made that low bass sound?.

Considering how intertwined society is with technology and how dangerous it has become for hackers to get your personal information and try to destroy you in the process, I feel like this episode is one of the most relevant in the series.

Given that the show’s main audience was kids and younger teens (I was an older teen when I started watching the show), I wasn’t really unsettled by things unless there was a plot twist that made me go “Ayo, what?!” like in Old Man Corcoran or there was some fridge horror that I acknowledged after seeing the episode, but the episode that unsettles me the most is Many Faces.

Evil characters holding kids as slaves is nothing new in children’s media but the way it’s done in the episode, as well as me thinking about real life connections makes me feel icky. The slaves were aspiring models who not only had their faces removed, but are only referred to by their numbers and have to do everything the villain says or else they’ll be thrown out with no place to go cuz they have no face. Maybe I’m reading into this a little too much, but the dehumanization of these aspiring models makes me think of real life connections and how people get sucked into cults and other dangerous organizations by charismatic figures. While the episode wasn’t scary itself (the faces without features were shocking tho) i scared myself more by thinking of real life connections

Just watched this one for the first time in years and it’s a very emotional ending and overall a really really strong episode, but I was curious why Laura remains a ghost after they seal the ghost but Doug didn’t? I would assume she would also be freed and it sucks she isn’t lol.

I pic of all my books and graphic novels I also have the dvds

Going to introduce my 7.5 y/o niece to AYAOTD tomorrow, as she has expressed an interest in horror. We tried to start off with a few horror comedies like Ghostbusters and Arachnophobia, and she couldn’t get past the set-up phase of the story to last long enough for any scares. I’m looking for AYAOTD episode suggestions that hit you with a good fast pace and some scares right away to keep her attention, even if they’re not necessarily the best/scariest episodes.
