“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 secrets, turned her life into a series of scary stories — stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying prose.”
“Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: The Haunted Notebook of Sarah Bellows” is a forthcoming companion to the Guillermo del Toro–produced film, in theaters August 9.
Designed to resemble the notebook seen in the film, its pages feature frightening stories inspired by the movie and dozens of horrifying and intricate sketches and color artwork. Also included is a behind-the-scenes section, filled with concept art and unit photography, showing how director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro adapted Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell’s iconic ’80s and ’90s children’s horror books for the big screen.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive sneak peek from the first story/chapter titled “Harold”!
The book ships around August 13th. Order it here.
