Things are getting sinister at Nickelodeon. The kids network dropped a teaser for its upcoming reboot of the 90s horror-fantasy series Are You Afraid of the Dark? and it looks set to scare a new generation of viewers with a darker, more frightening than the original.

The teaser trailer, via a first look from Entertainment Weekly, features a new group of kids gathered around an eerie campfire, submitting scary stories for the approval of the Midnight Society.

The reboot will premiere in October (the best month for a new horror series, of course), with three hour-long episodes about the new Midnight Society kids, who gather to tell the creepy story of Carnival of Doom. But just as the teaser trailer hints with terrifying vissions of the ringmaster, the events of the tale soon begin coming to life.

According to the Wrap, the new members of the Midnight Society are: Gavin, played by Sam Ashe Arnold (Best.Worst.Weekend.Ever.); Akiko, played by Miya Cech (Rim of the World); Louise, played by Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl); Graham, played by Jeremy Ray Taylor (It, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween); and Rachel, played by Lyliana Wray (Black-ish). The Carnival of Doom’s ringmaster, Mr. Tophat, is played by Rafael Casal (Blindspotting).
