When Nick at Nite (Nick@Nite) Got Spooky

For a generation of Xennial kids, staying on Nickelodeon long enough meant eventually crossing over into the wonderfully strange world of Nick at Nite. Suddenly we were watching television made years—or even decades—before we were born, and because so much of it was wholesome and family-friendly, it was the kind of television grown-ups could happily watch with the kids still in the room. But Nick at Nite also had a wonderfully bizarre sense of humor, especially when it took perfectly innocent old television and repackaged it like something out of a horror movie, paranormal investigation, or conspiracy documentary.
This time, Lyle takes the lead with an entire episode inspired by Nick at Nite’s hilarious fake horror promos and bumpers—most of which Meghan either never saw or simply doesn’t remember. From The Pants That Ate Fred Mertz to The Lost Brady and other gloriously ridiculous bits of classic-TV mythology, Lyle introduces Meghan to a side of Nick at Nite she somehow missed the first time around. Then, near the end, Meghan shares her picks for the spookiest shows from the Nick at Nite lineup. It’s classic television, fake scares, genuine nostalgia, and a whole lot of laughing—this one was hilarious good fun.
