I had a dream wherein I was watching an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” the Nickelodeon horror show which uses campfire stories as a framing device for junior grade versions of Twilight Zone episodes.

I noticed right away the unusually low production values, looking rather like a low-grade film stock from the 1970s. The meandering story followed various counselors at a summer camp as they went about their day, in the fashion of typical horror movie set up.

It seems the show has decided to use normal film footage of a low grade schlock horror film, since all of a sudden, out come some tits. Nothing really titillating or interesting, just a girl decides to remove her top, as exploitation films are wont to do.  I think to myself “well, deciding seeing nudity isn’t going to scar kids for life? good for you? I guess? I suppose you just have Standards and Practices to worry about, not the FCC, so you can do that if you want. but this really doesn’t seem worthwhile.”

From there, the story sort of meanders without any real direction with occasional gratuitous, not-very-appealing partial frontal nudity without ever actually getting to the promised horror story, like the first act of Birdemic, but literally without ever getting to the promised birds.

Even in my dreams, I waste my time doing nothing in particular.
