Anyone who followed this show back in the ‘90s remembers the iconic line that would start each story: “Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story [story’s name],” and how at which point the person saying the line would toss a handful of magical dust into the campfire.

For many of us who grew up in the ‘90s, this show was one of the best.
