Ep 9. The Tale of the Midnight Madness

In "The Tale of the Midnight Madness," the ninth episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, a small-town movie theater is on the verge of closing down due to lack of business. The theater's owner, Mr. Olson, is desperate to keep his business afloat and decides to host an all-night horror movie marathon to attract customers.

The members of the Midnight Society, a group of teens who gather around a campfire to tell scary stories, decide to attend the marathon. Upon arriving, they find that the theater is filled with unusual characters including a strange projectionist who refuses to let anyone into the projection room, and an odd elderly man named Dr. Vink who is offering free theater snacks to all attendees.

As the marathon progresses, strange things begin to happen both on and off the screen. Characters from the movies being shown start to appear in real life, and members of the audience begin disappearing one by one. The Midnight Society soon realizes that they are in the middle of a terrifying nightmare, and they must figure out how to escape before it's too late.
