[WTF] HarperCollins Celebrates 30 Years Of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ By Destroying The Art?!
An older story just making the rounds is sure to give our seasoned readers a solid punch to the gut….
Publisher HarperCollins is gearing up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Alvin Schwartz’s book series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”, a short stories collection that was accompanied by haunting artwork by Stephen Gammell.
Honoring the 30-year-old collection, HarperCollins is butchering the visuals by replacing all of Gammell’s work with new imagery by Brett Helquist. That would be like digitally fixing Jaws in Steven Spielberg’s classic film, or even worse, digitally adding new creatures to one of the classic Star Wars films (oh, wait.)
In addition to the above example, you’ll find a few more after the break, courtesy of Adventures in Poor Taste. HarperCollins can suck an egg.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
