The new horror film adapts the series of children’s books written by Alvin Schwartz, which drew heavily from folklore and urban legends, and became famous for its surreal black-and-white illustrations by Stephen Gammell.
“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 tome.”
Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark will be released in US cinemas on 9 August. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
