After the series “Stranger Things” and the first part of Stephen King Remakes “It” comes now and again a horror story, in which young people are at the centre: “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” takes place in 1968 and tells the story of teenagers who explore Halloween an old house.
In the process, they discover a book full of stories of monsters, ghosts and the likes. The ironic thing: In the book of new stories at the same time, deadly reality appear by itself. So if there was an evil Scarecrow, the talk is chasing a boy with the pitchfork, it is actually.

Guillermo del Toro (“The Shape of Water”) originally supported as a producer of the Norwegian Director André Øvredal (“the Troll hunter”), the horror books by Alvin Schwartz (1927-1992). This appeared in the 80s and 90s in the USA and are very popular. Schwartz wrote the short stories that were now connected in a cross-action, originally for children and young people.
The film adaptation is so brutal that you can’t expect Younger: In Switzerland, the Film is released right from the age of 16. This distinguishes the “Scary Stories” of the “Goosebumps”films with Jack Black, because they are also children friendly as the book series by R. L. Stine, on which they are based.
However, Scary Stories draws to an adult audience, with the aim of appeared to feel in their own Childhood, as horror stories like this still is really creepy. Nostalgia with goose bumps. If the Film is so successful with such as “Stranger Things” and “It” needs to be seen.
