History Channel Afraid of the Dark 720p HDTV x264 DHD
Go back to a time before the invention of artificial
light and experience a world petrified in the pitch of
darkness. . . when fear ruled the night. Throughout
the ages, real and imagined terror existed in the
absence of light, and nighttime was anything but
relaxing. Our predecessors cowered in caves to keep
from being eaten alive. During the Middle Ages, brutal
bandits went on the prowl and roadside ditches became
death traps. Also in years past, the devil, werewolves
and vampires were staunchly believed to stalk the
night. With no artificial light, the black night sky
of Galileo"s gaze could illuminate every star without
a telescope. This chilling special explores all the
reasons why the dark was so feared throughout the
eras. It takes you around the globe to places where
real night still exits, and examines our modern-day
fear factor when the lights go out during blackouts.
