Another fantastic & in-depth review! Yep, this episode definitely borrowed previous story ideas from Dark Music and Water Demons specifically. While the story was a bit inconsistent like you explained; I actually enjoyed the episode. The acting from the family was solid. The adults in this episode was actually used nicely IMO.
Lastly, I have to disagree on the scares. The point-of-view camera shot of the ghost coming out of the lake & moving towards the inn was pretty scary when I was a child. The background music added little more tension to it as well.
I suppose I could see a kid getting scared by the "Raimi-cam." I have a hard time seeing it because, one, I never saw this episode as a child and , two, I was exposed to some seriously scary stuff by my mom before I ever saw AYAOTD so I found the show quite tame, even when I was younger.
Great job! Not much of a scary story, but I liked it. Jukeboxes fascinated me growing up (especially when lit up), and it probably started with this episode.
By the way, thanks for including the "Lisaaa!" at the end. AYAOTD parents rarely had a sizable role in the story, but Ellen sold her scenes. That last one especially got me as a kid.
For sure, she was probably one of the best parents on the show. Both for her acting and just the way she interacted with the kids.
3:35. How did that not inspire them? Shia screaming always motivates me.
In a perfect world, all of my Shia clips would motivate Shia to actually appear in one of my videos. The best part is, I don't even know when or why I started using that clip exclusively for AYAOTD reviews, but it's now my favorite running gag.
I thought this episode was a little scary as a child; and I like the location of the episode, though it could have been used better. The ending didn’t quite make sense, but it’s a kids show. Despite its problems, I like this episode.
Yeah, I doubt that any kid watching this show was ever hyper-analyzing the plot.
To be fair buying property for a lesser price because people say it's haunted went from being a cliché to being a dream opportunity in the last 30 years. Hell I'd buy the house on the haunted hill if it's affordable, the real estate market is more frightening than any ghost!
Oh yeah. Lake front property goes for a premium even more so today, even over beach front property in some instances. Haunted or not. And sometimes haunted property can sell for more because of those excited by that prospect.
I wonder what object inspired "Room For Rent"? Presumably, "C7" was inspired by a jukebox. Good luck lugging that to the infamous clearing, lol. All Sam stories also have a heavy love story element, aside from Watcher's Woods, unless I misread Kelly and Sarah's relationship? Thanks for posting another amusing and well-written vid! #90sKid #AYAOTD
Haha! I mean, if there is one thing I know about Jewel Staite, it's that anyone could fall in love with her.
I’m cold🥶🤣
Every time a kid wakes up to a sound outside at night on this show, that is the only thing I can think about.
C7 you sunk my battleship
This may seem like a weird connect the dots moment, but when I made that joke in the script, it also made me think of the commercials for the Crossfire game. It had nothing to do with Battleship, but when I think of board games from that era, that commercial always pops into my head.
This was one of the episodes I barely remember watching from its original run. It's not scary and barely has any memorable moments. I think I remember the juke box but that's about it.
Sounds like we are on the same page for this one. Aside from the solid acting, I think it is a very forgettable episode.
Well it's *obvious* she was trying toz kill her son. She dropped every last spare cent into getting the hotel She needs to recoup that niney fir the time being *somehow* and many insurance companies pay out more if the death is "accidental."
I knew it!
@@JackOfAllNerdsShow That was *dark* of me wasn't it?
Cool video. Are you afraid of the dark is the best!
Heck yeah, it's the best!
This was my fav episode 😅
What was it about this story that affected you more than any other?
@@JackOfAllNerdsShow I didn’t know the name of this episode until last year lol. I was looking for it 😂. Idk maybe just cause it kinda seems realistic in a sense. Like an old place that had a spooky haunting feel to it 🤷🏻♀️
Good stuff dude 😆✅✅- this is Gold yo 🤣😆🤣😆
Thank you!!!
This episode could have been great if they did more backstory on the 50s characters and made us feel for them. But as is it's mid at best.
That's all I'm asking for. Just one less scene of Jason fixing the jukebox and one more scene of ghost backstory!
This was a forgettable episode. Could have been so much better!
Are you going to sell those hats?
Not at this time. I had made a few for a giveaway I did back when the channel hit 2k subscribers, but I don't have enough viewers to merit making any merchandise to sell just yet.
