An Are You Afraid Of The Dark episode turned into a movie

Thats honestly what this looks like, and that was only good for a 22 minute episode not a full length movie. Only so far you can go with a haunted pool story.

"It smells like sulfur."

I enjoyed that episode.

Yeah great episode, and really creepy, and one of the few episodes that actually kills a kid in it i believe, was really dark for a Nickelodeon show.

But again as a full length movie i just don't see it working.

It was originally a short film they expanded to full feature.

That rarely works.

Yeah and from everything i've heard about it, it didn't work.

I thought the exact same thing as the OP when I read the description for this movie and then saw a thread was already made. That really was a good episode: "The Tale of the Dead Man's Float."
I would recommend people watch it if they can find it.

Here's 2 links about the episode if anyone cares:

Here's a picture of the dead zombie/spirit/corpse thing:
(Keep in mind this was a kid's show on Nickelodeon in the 90's)
