The Pale Lady Stalks New ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Poster; Teaser Trailer Tomorrow!
CBS Films has unleashed another poster for the Guillermo del Toro-produced Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, releasing in theaters on August 9, 2019, and this one prominently features the creepy “Pale Lady,” first glimpsed in the film’s Super Bowl spots. Along with the nightmarish new art, we’ve been promised that the teaser trailer will arrive tomorrow!
The “Pale Lady” was drawn by Stephen Gammell in Scary Stories 3, attached to the story “The Dream.” The figure appears to a woman named Lexi Morgan in a dream, described as “a woman with a pale face, long black eyes and black hair.” This “Pale Lady” (as she’s called in the movie) first appears to Lexi in the nightmare and then shows up in real life at the end of the story.
In the André Øvredal-directed film adaptation of the spooky books…
A group of young teens must solve the mystery surrounding sudden and macabre deaths in their small town.
“It’s l968 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 tome.”
Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams, Dean Norris, Kathleen Pollard, Gil Bellows, Lorraine Toussaint, Austin Zajur and Natalie Ganzhorn star.
Daniel Hageman & Kevin Hageman and Guillermo del Toro wrote the script.
Vinegar Syndrome makes its first foray into original productions with Eight Eyes, a retro nightmare co-produced with Not the Funeral Home, the team behind Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.” First reported by Screen Daily, Shudder has picked up the film.
No word yet on a Shudder premiere date. Stay tuned for more.
Watch the previously released official trailer below, which nails that retro 1970s vibe.
In Eight Eyes, “A mysterious local crashes a couple’s vacation through the former Yugoslavia, pulling them deeper into his web of psychic rituals. A mysterious local crashes a couple’s vacation through the former Yugoslavia, pulling them deeper into his web of psychic rituals.”
Co-writer and director Austin Jennings (“The Last Drive-In with Job Bob Briggs”), working from an originating idea by Justin Martell, gets ambitious for his feature film debut.
“Photographed entirely on location in Serbia and Macedonia and on 16mm Kodak film, Eight Eyes draws from European genre cinema and American horror films of the 70s to create a nightmarish tableau of nostalgia twisted into berserk, new shapes. Set among the ruins of the former Yugoslavia, Eight Eyes was developed with significant contributions from the film’s local cast and crew to ensure an authentic portrayal of the cultural environment in which it is set – one rarely been documented on film,” Vinegar Syndrome says of their original production.
Emily Sweet (V/H/S/99), Brad Thomas, and Bruno Veljanovski star. Not the Funeral Home (Executive Producers Justin Martell and Matt Manjourides) produced the film.
