Nickelodeon is continuing the 20th anniversary celebration of SpongeBob SquarePants and the return of the anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark? by inviting fans to hear from voice cast members and series executive producers on two panels at New York Comic Con 2019. Throughout the convention, attendees can experience a one-of-a-kind interactive SpongeBob SquarePants game inside The Krusty Krab at Nick’s booth (located in the Crystal Palace).
The tribute to one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created continues with a SpongeBob Appreciation Day! panel, where voice cast members will conduct a table read of a fan-favorite episode, share highlights from 20 years and reveal what’s ahead, including a sneak peek of a brand-new half-hour special.
Nickelodeon is reimagining its chillingly beloved anthology Are You Afraid of the Dark? as a brand-new limited series premiering this October. Through three hour-long episodes, the series introduces an entirely new Midnight Society group of kids who tell a terrifying tale about the Carnival of Doom, only to have the events of the story come to life. The new members of the Midnight Society will share what to expect during an exclusive panel.
