The reimagined “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” premiered in October 2019 as a limited series and introduced a new Midnight Society as they tell a scary story only to have the events of the story come to life. Season two Are You Afraid of the Dark? Curse of the Shadows, premiered in February 2021 and followed a new group of kids, who learn of a terrifying curse cast over their small town and are haunted by a mysterious creature. The third chapter, Are You Afraid of the Dark? Ghost Island, premiered in July
2022 and features another Midnight Society as they go on vacation on a resort island, until they learn about something sinister haunting the guests. Enjoy some hauntingly good scary stories.
[Disc 1] Are You Afraid of the Dark? Returns in this nightmarish three - part limited series event filled with scorpions, eyeless men, disappearing children and the creepiest carnival of all time! Rachel has a chance to join the secret Midnight Society. All she has to do is tell a truly terrif ying story. But when the chilling events of her “Tale of Mr. Tophat” and the “Carnival of Doom” start to actually come true and her friends’ lives are at stake, Rachel must face her fears and end Mr. Tophat’s reign of terror.
[Disc 2] Curse of the Shadows – An all - new Midnight Society location brings fresh scares when the group’s leader suddenly vanishes. The remaining members must follow the clues, confront dark forces, and ultimately uncover the truth behind their town’s terrifying curse. Will they break the curse of the shadows...before it’s too late?
[Disc 3] Ghost Island – Four best friends and members of a Midnight Society get more than they bargained for when what they think is a fun summer vacation on a resort island turns into something sinister. They encounter genuine terror locked away in one of the rooms after checking into their hotel, and as the kids try to enjoy their vacation, they are pulled back into the mystery of the island’s ghosts, ultimately leading them to a terrifying and shocking revelation: many guests check into room 13, but they never check out.

In recognition of beloved Indiana Jones actress Karen Allen's May 17 - 19 appearance at Motor City Comic Con, I'm geeked to host a Digital Code giveaway for her new movie A STAGE OF TWILIGHT courtesy of Cardinal Flix.

The plot of Lionsgate's family adventure comedy CAMP HIDEOUTfinds mischievous Noah getting himself into trouble with big-city crooks by accidentally stealing a game controller holding secret information. On the run, he escapes to a summer camp run by loud, cranky yet bighearted Falco. Though feeling like a fish out of water, Noah begins to create bonds with camp leader Jake and some of the other kids at camp. After the bad guys track Noah down, the camp kids band together to fend them off, turning their woods into a series of booby traps including bees, zip lines, and slippery decks, and teaching Noah a valuable lesson in sticking together.
CAMP HIDEOUT is now available to view via video on demand ($5.99 SRP) or by purchasing a digital edition of the film ($12.99 SRP). Plus, courtesy of Lionsgate, this Geek Daddy has some codes to giveaway so you can add CAMP OUT to your digital home entertainment video library for FREE.

Perfect for a family movie night! CAMP HIDEOUT has a runtime of 100 minutes and is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America.
A Geek Daddy was provided movie codes by Universal Pictures for promotional consideration.
Opinions expressed are honest and my own.
Comedic filmmaker Bobby Farrelly (Something About Mary / Me, Myself & Irene) adds a new twist to the tried and true drama scenario of a team of outcasts being led to success by a coach seeking redemption in his movie CHAMPIONS. In this film, Farrelly casts Woody Harrelson as a troubled coach who needs to get his personal life in order and real life developmentally disabled individuals who make up the friends on a basketball team that dreams of making it to the Special Olympics championship game. CHAMPIONS is a flick that hopes to score points in advocating for those with disabilities through humor and heart-warming moments that will have audiences embrace the teammates on this basketball team of friends.
Does Farrelly's CHAMPIONS win audiences over? Critics on Rotten Tomatoes reviewed the movie as "rotten" with a 59% approval rating; BUT audiences scored CHAMPIONS with a "fresh" 95% approval rating. My problem with most critics these days is they fall into one of two categories: (1) someone looking to kiss ass to movie studios to gain access and perks and gives glowing reviews of everything or (2) someone who gives every movie a bad review to show the world they are truly independent of Hollywood marketing departments. So, that is why I give the Tomatometer scores on rottentomatoes.com from audiences much more credibility than what the so-called critics think.
My personal rating of movies is pretty simple, did I have a good time sitting through the movie? If, YES, it was an entertaining experience then the flick earns a Geek Daddy nod of approval. Feeling as if I just lost hours out of my life that can't get back or falling asleep in the middle of the show won't get a movie any hype from me. In this case, CHAMPIONS is a winner!
Want to judge for yourself if CHAMPIONS is rotten or fresh? I have a digital code for the movie courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to giveaway. Just complete the entries in the rafflecopter form below before 11:59pm on May 14, 2023 for a chance to be a Geek Daddy's randomly selected winner. Must be a United States resident over 18 years old to participate. The selected winner must reply back within twenty-four hours of being contacted to confirm their selection or an alternate entry will be chosen. Good luck!a Rafflecopter giveaway
When a troubled basketball coach is ordered by a Judge to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities or go to jail the choice is obvious. He soon realizes that despite his doubts, together, this team can go further than they ever imagined. CHAMPIONS is based on the true story of a basketball team from Valencia, Spain. It is rated PG 13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for Strong Language + Crude & Sexual References.
CHAMPIONS is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. Check it out for a fun family movie night.

One of my family's favorite days of the year is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY. Traditionally the first Saturday in May, my kids as well of myself are always geeked to visit local comic shops and return home with a bundle of books to spend the rest of the afternoon flipping through. We've been participating in this event since my kids were toddlers and were bummed that due to the pandemic what had become a family tradition that my children and I looked forward to doing together every year was cancelled for 2020.
I have some big news though ... drum roll please → FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is returning for 2021! Yes the event will be back for its 20th anniversary! To provide some more time for the pandemic to peter out though its traditional May date is moving to August. While the date may be changing though local retailers handing out tons of FREE comic books isn't changing. So mark your calendars for Saturday, August 14 to take part in FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2021.
This event is meant to get people to visit these local small businesses which many were severely negatively impacted by the pandemic. I paid my favorite shop a couple hundred dollars up front during the worst of months for a store credit on my future purchases to help with their cash flow. If you appreciate the experience of holding in your hand and reading a physical printed comic book it is essentially to keep these small businesses alive.
So while FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is a fun and exciting experience, please keep in mind stopping into these shops from time to time to spend some money so these fantastic places will continue to be there for us. After all this event doesn't make sense to have if the foot traffic it brings to these brick and mortar storefronts doesn't help the profitability of its sponsors. All right that is the end of my PSA.
This year's FREE COMIC BOOK DAY will be giving away 50 titles. Check out this video for a run through of all of them:
What is nice about FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is there is normally a selection of comic books that are interesting to all ages. There are some aimed for young readers, others targeted to middle grade ages, most are for teen audiences and even a few specifically for adults. Here are a few of my favorite FREE COMIC BOOK DAY selections in 2021 for each of those groups:
YOUNG READERS
MIDDLE GRADE READERS / TWEENS
TEENS
ADULTS
Unfortunately, this year there won't be a Free Comic Book Day edition of The Tick. Doah! Other than that seems to be solid lineup of titles that will be available this summer.
