‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Documentary Gets July Release Date and Home Video Art
Not only is the film adaptation of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books on the way, but so too is a documentary. Titled Scary Stories, Wild Eye Releasing acquired the doc earlier this year, and we’ve learned today that they’ll be releasing it on July 16th!
Director’s Commentary and over 20 minutes of bonus footage will be included.
The doc, directed by Cody Meirick, features more than 40 interviews including Alvin Schwartz’s family members and fellow authors like R.L Stine, as well as folklorists, artists and fans.
“The three-volume series, written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell from 1981-1991, featured short horror stories for kids that were adapted from folklore and urban legends — it was the intro to the genre for a swath of kids in that generation. Some parent groups and school boards had the books pulled from libraries and schools owing to Gammell’s sometimes violent illustrations.”
One of my personal favorite horror movies of all time, 1987’s gateway horror classic The Gate is opening back up on May 14 with a brand new Blu-ray SteelBook release from Lionsgate!
The new release will feature fresh SteelBook artwork from Vance Kelly, seen below.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
