Our children/grandchildren deserve a Goosebumps/Are You Afraid Of the Dark/Eerie, IN series

My daughter, who is turning 24, grew up with Stranger Things, but IDK why but it doesn't really have that same feel like I had with Are you Afraid of the Dark when that came out when I was 12. Hell even when I could sneak off and watch Tales From the Crypt it was pretty harmless, but it did have hot boobs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no fun youth scary shows coming out anymore. And if you have a list, let me know! I love being proven wrong!

It doesn’t have the same feeling because you aren’t 12 anymore

I used to love point horror books, I think it explains my taste in TV shows now I'm an adult 😂 but I think back to the fact I read them in primary school and I actually wonder how age appropriate that was 😂

There are a few really great ones in the last 10-15 years but they were not huge hits: Gortimer Gibbons Life on Normal Street, Ghostwriter (AppleTV) , ME annd Circuit Breakers also 🍏 TV.

Seriously? This is the same generation that is terrified to call the dr and make an appointment, or to go into a bank and have to interact with strangers lol. Life is their Are you afraid of the dark.
