10/10
Season 5 opened with a bang
7 October 2021
This is easily one of Are You Afraid of the Dark's scariest episodes. The Jaws-style underwater camera shots are effective at cranking up the tension, knowing the thing in the pool is invisible except for its sulphur smell. When its form is finally revealed as a convincingly nightmarish red-coloured monster, wow... the costume department outdid themselves.

90's TV shows were notorious for cheesy special effects sometimes, and this includes some episodes of AYAOTD, but Dead Man's Float was not one of those times. How the Midnight Society didn't let Stig in after this story will forever be a mystery.
