Growing up in the 90s felt special.
It was quoting movies and shows nonstop, rushing home for cartoons, and finding comfort in the characters that basically raised us. We really had it all, and now looking back so thankful we did.
That Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde scene in The Pagemaster was pure nightmare fuel for 90s kids. The dark animation, creepy transformation, and intense voice work from Leonard Nimoy made it one of the most unforgettable moments in the movie.
Released in 1994, the film starred Macaulay Culkin as Richard Tyler, a timid kid pulled into a magical animated library filled with classic stories and characters. Even though it was marketed as a family movie, scenes like this proved 90s kids movies were surprisingly dark and unforgettable.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was one of the most frightening books we witnessed growing up in the 90s. The illustrations were pure horror and terrifying.
Yet we loved them, and still do.
Breaking the Shrine of the Silver Monkey from Legends of the Hidden Temple on Nickelodeon.

Unsolved Mysteries in the 80s and 90s gave us sleepless nights, creepy reenactments, and Robert Stack standing in a foggy alley like he personally knew something we didn’t. If you grew up terrified every time that theme music started, you already know.
We’ll be talking all about it on Millennials After Dark coming this fall.
From Goosebumps to Are You Afraid of the Dark, plus all the stories, toys, movies, and cartoons that shaped our childhood are back.
Millennials After Dark is creeping in this fall—where nostalgia gets weird, spooky, and unforgettable.
And remember… don’t turn off the lights.
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters was one of the weirdest and best parts of Nickelodeon in the 90s, and our childhood.
Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm made monster school feel gross, creepy, and hilarious all at once. It was pure chaotic nightmare fuel in the best possible way for 90s kids.
90s kids were raised on Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Eerie, Indiana, and straight-up childhood trauma.
Follow @millennialsafterdark a nostalgia podcast for millennials, coming this fall.
