It takes place at a spooky carnival and the music and lighting effects make it even more frightening.<\/p>\n<p>The storyline follows a group called The Midnight Society which includes Rachel (Lyliana Wray), Gavin (Sam Ashe Arnold),Graham (Jeremy Ray Taylor), Louise (Tamara Smart) and Akiko (Mya Cech). As the new kid at school, Rachel gets accepted into The Midnight Society, which meets at midnight to tell scary stories. Rachel tells a story about the Carnival of Doom and Mr. Tophat, and the next day her story comes true. She and the rest of the group face many challenges trying to save their friend Adam and Gavin and stopping Mr. Tophat.<\/p>\n<p>I love how unique this series is. It has been around for a while, however, I have never seen anything else like it. The music and special effects definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite part of this series is when Rachel, Gavin, Graham, Louise, and Akiko find out that The Carnival of Doom is a real thing. The looks on their faces when they learn that show their fear, confusion and worry. I love the character Akiko. She is brave, very independent, and definitely is not afraid to share her opinions. I love the teamwork that is shown between the various characters as The Midnight Society works together to stop Mr. Tophat and find their friends. I also love the friendships that develop during their exciting mission and adventure.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s message is about teamwork and friendship. The Midnight Society has to work together in order to find Gavin and Adam and stop Mr. Tophat, and the group develops strong friendships while on that mission.<\/p>\n<p>I give <em>Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Limited Series Three-Season Collection <\/em>5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. This series is available now on DVD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are You Afraid of the Dark and the Midnight Society return in this nightmarish collection of the limited series events!
