The Tale of the Silver Sight: Parts 1-3 (Are You Afraid of the Dark?)

The Tale of the Silver Sight is a 3-parter that serve as the first, second, and third episodes, as well as the Season Seven premiere of Are You Afraid of the Dark and the Seventy-Ninth episode in total.

Plot
Gary and Tucker believe their grandfather's death is linked to a charm and track down the original members of the midnight society.

Why They Rock

 * 1) First and foremost, this episode is pretty much like the ultimate Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode. As it finally follows the midnight society going on a supernatural adventure for themselves rather than telling a story about others doing so.
 * 2) On top of having them go on their own journey, it's a  big breath of fresh air to finally see the original members of the midnight society finally return after their almost complete absence for an entire season. While the new members aren't necessarily "bad", it's still often agreed that the original members are still the better ones.
 * 3) Like most episodes in the series, it has a vert creative concept. It's about Gary and Tucker tracking down the original members of the midnight society after the former's grandfather death. Because Gary's grandfather left behind a true story that only he would believe that involves tracking them down and destroying a charm called the "silver sight".
 * 4) It also expands on the story. As the midnight society is revealed to be something of a family heirloom that Gary and Tucker were continuing the legacy of. Which also provided even more background to care about with the characters.
 * 5) The villain of the episode, the evil demon, is a very threatening and creative monster. As it takes the appearance of a young child and has the power to create illusions to trick others into thinking they were being chased. It's also later revealed that the demon was a servant to silver sight, which is also revealed to have the ability to remove one's enemy from their path by stealing their soul to enhance it's power. And those who used the relic would suffer from a case of bad luck for the rest of their life.
 * 6) This episodes is ultimately what saved the Are You Afraid of the Dark? series. As the show was considered by many to be going downhill after it's revival. But this episode was not just amazing, but it also managed to be what picked the series up and started to get it back on track. Sure, it still wasn't as good as it was during it's earlier seasons, but it was an improvement, nonetheless.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The episodes due cram in their fair share of goofy moments that can sometimes damage the tone.
