Guillermo del Toro might direct the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark movie
The idea of a movie based on Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark has always seemed a little terrifying, at least to people who grew up with the original art by Stephen Gammell (see above). But those scaredy cats have always been able to calm their fears by telling themselves that no movie could possibly capture how unnerving those pictures are. Surely, any movie adaptation would just have standard, computer-generated spookiness that would fall way short of the nightmare fuel that Scary Stories readers grew up with. After all what director would not only have the eye for picking up on what made those pictures so horrifying in the first place, but also the skill to effectively recreate them? Well, one director in particular does, and now he’s actually helping to develop the Scary Stories adaptation.
