Both Series Of Are You Afraid Of The Dark Revolved Around A Group Of Teenagers Who Referred To Themselves As "The Midnight Society". Every Episode, At A Secret Location In The Woods At Night, One Member Would Tell A Scary Story To The Group. The Actual Story, Rather Than The Telling, Was Displayed To The Television Viewer. The Story Was Shown Between The Group's Arrival At The Site And Their Departure.rnrnThe Opening Credits For The Original Series Was A Montage Of Spooky Imagery, Ranging From A Lone Empty Rowboat Bobbing In The Water On A Dark Night, An Abandoned, Creaky Swing Set, An Attic With An Eerie Clown Doll, A Fan With Mist In The Background, And Window Shutters Rattling In The Rain. A Match Lights Up By Itself To Illuminate The Show Titles, Then The Flame Is Extinguished. The Theme Music Was Composed By Jeff Zahn And Jeff Fisher.2rnrnEach Storyteller Would Begin Their Story By Saying "Submitted For The Approval Of The Midnight Society, I Call This Story, (story Name)", At Which Point He Or She Would Toss A Handful Of "midnight Dust" (actually Coffee-Mate10) From A Leather Pouch Into A Campfire To Heighten The Flames And Produce An Eerie White Smoke.11
