Director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro hosted a panel at Comic-Con tonight to talk about next month’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, an adaptation of the books penned by Alvin Schwartz that will bring both the stories and artist Stephen Gammell’s terrifying illustrations to the screen for the first time. In the movie, the stories literally come to life.
Now that the panel has come to an end, a brand new official poster has hit the net tonight, this one highlighting the movie’s terrifying Jangly Man. Check it out below!
In Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, “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.”
The stories come to life on August 9th, 2019.
