The “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark” trailer is way too scary for adults & probably perfect for kids

28th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

JUST PULL IT OUT ALREADY!

Admit it, you want to pull that out, don’t you.

Check out the new trailer for Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (if you missed the tiny teasers released in February you can watch them here).

My first thought was Christ on a bike, this film is for CHILDREN? Still at least it means I don’t need to go on my own.

The film has been adapted from Alvin Schwartz’s famous series of horror stories for kids, and is produced by Guillermo del Toro. The director is André Øvredal.

Here’s the synopsis:

“It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large.

It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time – stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.”

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is out in the US on 9 August 2019 but no word yet on a UK release.
