=== Television Roles ===
'''''Are You Afraid of the Dark?''''' was a horror-themed [[television series]] for children. The original series was a joint production of the Canadian companies [[YTV (Canadian television)|YTV]], [[Cinar]], and the American company [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]. Although the episode "The Tale of the Twisted Claw" first debuted as a [[Television pilot|pilot]] for the show on [[Halloween]], [[1991]], Are You Afraid of the Dark ran between [[August 15]], [[1992]] and [[February 3]], [[1996]] on [[Nickelodeon]]'s [[SNICK]]. A revived series with new directors, new writers, and a new cast was produced by [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] from [[1999]] to [[2000]] and also played on [[SNICK]]. It also aired on the channel [[Supermax (TV channel)|Supermax]]. The show was aired during the 90's in Latin America by Nickelodeon Latin America. The show was also aired from 1996-2005 in Australia On The Australian Nickelodeon Channel.


*Committee Chairman in [[The X-Files]] episodes ''Tunguska'' and ''Terma''.
==Background==
*Calusari Elder in [[The X-Files]] episode ''The Calusari''.
Both series revolved around a group of [[adolescent]] children who referred to themselves as the "Midnight Society". Once a week, at a secret site 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. Each storyteller would begin their story by stating "Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story..." at which point they would toss birch bark powder into the campfire to heighten the flames and produce an eerie white smoke. The storyteller would continue the story by announcing the title of the story.
*Hohman's Father in [[The X-Files]] episode ''Miracle Man''.
*Uncle Harry in [[First Wave]] episode "Rubicon."


=== Voice Roles ===
The themes usually revolved around [[paranormal phenomena]], such as [[ghost]]s, [[magic (paranormal)|magic]], [[haunted house]]s, magical curses, [[vampires]], [[witches]] and the like.


*[[Rampage]] in [[Beast Wars]]
Sources of these tales varied; many were adaptations of [[public domain]] [[fairytale]]s, short stories or [[urban legends]]. For example, "The Tale of the Twisted Claw" is considered to be an adaptation of [[W.W. Jacobs]]' short story "[[The Monkey's Paw]]". Some of the episodes' story lines are close to those of books written for the ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book series by [[R.L. Stine]], intentionally or not, which was popular at roughly the same time as this show (''The Tale of the Curious Camera'' is an almost exact replica of the Goosebumps book ''Say Cheese And Die'', though both were likely inspired by '[[A Most Unusual Camera]]', an episode of the original ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' series). In French, the serie's name is : '''Fais Moi Peur'''

==Memorable characters==
The most memorable recurring character was Sardo ([[Richard Dumont]]), a magic-shop owner. He would often attempt to sell a character a "prized" item, rarely succeeding. He often has items in his shop that are really magical, yet does not know until it's revealed in the story. One of the most memorable recurring jokes in the series occurred when someone would address him as "Mr. Sardo". He would then get irritated and exclaim: "No 'mister'; accent on the 'doh'!" Although he rarely got what he wanted, he would often end up helping the characters, intentionally or not. He was used by Gary.

Another such is Dr. Vink ([[Aron Tager]]). He was a physically imposing man who would often appear as a mad scientist, sorcerer, and the like. He would also get his name mispronounced. When this happened, he would respond "Vink. With a va-va-va." He was used by Frank, although both characters appear in the double episode "The Tale of Cutter's Treasure", which was told by both Frank and Gary.

Various other characters are used in multiple stories.

Gary's stories seemed to be the fan favorite (and also acted as the leader of the midnight society)
