Happy Monday. Thousands of spiders are here to ruin your day.
The second trailer for the Guillermo del Toro-produced Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has arrived this afternoon, and it’s home to all kinds of book-based slices of nightmare fuel.
This trailer gives us better looks at iconic book characters like Harold the scarecrow and the Jangly Man, while also revealing more of the plot. Quite literally, the stories are coming to life…
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 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 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.
The stories come to life on August 9th, 2019.
