Birthday curses, chem lab terror, and rejection sensitive dysphoria… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids for another round of Midnight Society mayhem as they get groovy with ‘60s slang, walk the graffitied hallways of their childhood, and even uncover some reported high school hauntings from this side of the TV screen. This episode will have you spiraling into the 30 year pop culture cycle, seeing not only its stamp on the present and our (increasingly obsolete) place within it, but also its implications for the future…

Identity crises, lactose intolerance, and the Hare Krishna… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids in the back-to-school spirit for a good old fashioned mingling of history lesson and book report where they’ll investigate a well-meaning, if dark phenomenon that swept the country in the ‘80s – milk carton kids – via a controversial young adult novel born from it by Caroline B. Cooney. They’ll bust some myths, pay homage to the devastating realities, and get to the haunting core of the novel… what if the face staring back at you from the breakfast table was your own?

Sploosh, supernatural serendipity, and the “Troubled Teen" Industry… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids to celebrate and unpack what is, arguably, one of the best book-to-film adaptions ever created. This time, they’ll revel in magical, mystical romance, wax poetic about generational curses and cycles, plus build character while exploring deeper themes of abuse in teen “rehabilitation” programs, and America’s dark history with segregation and racial prejudice. This is a heavy one, Darklings, but it’s important, and your Ghost Hosts hope you enjoy it with all the same curiosity you’d bring to the Scholastic Book Fair.

Flashlight flasks, Bram Stoker’s widow, and Dr. Nosferatu… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids in another Midnight Society flashback where they reminisce on theatrical magic and “Fright Nights” gone by, revel in the glory (and grief) of early Germanic horror, and uncover every disturbing detail available about the legend of the Pied Piper. Sometimes, movie monsters are so terrifying they seem like they might just step out of the screen and into our very lives…but what if one actually did?

Eye boogers, bedside weapons, and iron nests on the moon… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids as they gather ‘round the Midnight Society campfire to laud and applaud some of the darkest forgotten Grimm tales, get cozy with Jekyll and Hyde’s originator, and learn the eye-popping lore behind everyone’s favorite nighttime visitor…The Sandman. Growing up is hard to do, and despite enormous pressure to give up our whimsy, it’s nice to know imagination is, was, and will always be our saving grace in the face of…dun dun dun…reality.

A Big and Loud villain, misremembered footprints, and the horrors of the Hayes Code… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids to unravel some of Hollywood’s best and brightest landmarks…and its darker chapters of censorship, racial tension, and child-star trauma. Laughing their way through one of the wittiest scripts they’ve discussed yet, they’ll explore how its allegories and core themes all point back to the importance of inspiration, humanity’s shared artistic experiences, and the collective power, strength, and unity that comes from creating art for art’s sake.
