If you've never heard of OR seen the show, then you don't know what you're missing out on. It's easily a children's' version of Tales From The Crypt. It's essentially a show about a group of kids called "The Midnight Society" who go to a fire pit and tell ghost stories. There are quite a few well-known actors and actresses who appeared or got their start on the show. Some of these include Ryan Gosling, Neve Campbell, Elisha Cuthbert, Jay Baruchel and Gilbert Gottfried.
I remember sitting at my grandmothers old home (before it got knocked over by a tree) and watching SNICK when an ad for it came on. I was like three at time, so I was never awake to really watch it, but when I was five I recall watching it for the first time. The first episode I watched was about a boy who's brother died after a bridge collapse as they were riding bikes and the brother was a ghost who haunted him.
The show was terrifying as a youth and I question whether it'll be just as good today or if I'm holding onto some archaic nostalgia. It's like a horror movie when you're little and then you watch it when you get older... it usually doesn't hold up. I'm hoping that the show is just as good as I remember it, because it's starting to air again tonight on The N (or some affiliated show) at 8:00PM. I guess they're just gonna re-air the old episodes... so get your DvR's ready :)
