So you want to join the Midnight Society, huh?Remember Zeebo the clown?How about the Ghastly Grinner?Ever listen to the Dark Music?Did you want to eat wild boar with Dr. Vink and buy fake vomit from Sardo?If the answer is yes to any of these, then you, my friend, are ready to join!Strike up your own campfire, and grab this campfire companion as we relive the children's TV series that made a whole generation afraid of the dark. D.J. MacHale's Are You Afraid of the Dark? was the Twilight Zone for kids and teens growing up in the 90s, and for those who embraced the show's mix of dark chills and out-there scenarios, it has lingered in their memories way past the seven-year run on TV. The series not only constantly pushed the envelope as to what was acceptable for scary TV for children, but also gave future celebrities like Ryan Gosling (Drive, La La Land), Neve Campbell (Scream, Party of Five), Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon, This Is The End), and Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episode 1-3) their start!

"Grab this book and join me as we pop some popcorn, refill our drinks, and flick that old TV back on to reminisce and examine in depth all 74 episodes of the series. Featuring critical analysis and exclusive interviews with the brains behind the series, this is the book you've been waiting for!"--Publisher's description.

This is the HARDBACK version. The famed director Robert Altman once said, "I don't think screenplay writing is the same as writing-I mean, I think it's blueprinting." Well, the late filmmaker couldn't be more wrong, and in these pages you will meet thirteen screenwriters who will disagree with that statement. Since the beginning of the film business it seems as if screenwriters have been getting the short end of the stick and have been treated more like hired help than the artists they really are. This book, written by a screenwriter for current and future screenwriters, seeks to shed light on the tireless keyboard mashers who spin the tales we remember and the catchy dialog that rings in our ears for years to come. Ranging from micro-budget cinema to Hollywood blockbusters, the illustrious screenwriters interviewed here will relay their down and dirty behind-the-scenes stories and expound on what it really takes to be a screenwriter and survive in Hollywood. It takes a thick skin to be a writer, but it takes bulletproof armor to be a screenwriter. Author, screenwriter, and bon vivant, Jose Prendes, is currently taking part in a top secret NASA space program and is unavailable to provide a complete biography beyond mentioning that he enjoys short walks and long naps.
