Directed by André Øvredal, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is inspired by one of the most horrific and terrifying children’s book series of the same name authored by Alvin Schwartz. The movie follows a group of young teens. Each teen must try and solve the mystery surrounding sudden and macabre deaths in their small town.

The ensemble cast includes Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams, Dean Norris, Gil Bellows, Lorraine Toussaint, Austin Zajur, and Natalie Ganzhorn.

Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman hold top billing as screenwriters of the movie, and four more screenwriters worked on the script, including Guillermo del Toro, one of the producers. Øvredal directing credits include Trollhunter and The Autopsy of Jane Doe, both scary and creepy movies.

The four TV spots that arrived during the Super Bowl commercials were being touted. Keep in mind these TV spots are short and quick to the scare.

The TV spots arrived before the trailer, and now, the trailer is here. Scary Stories is a horror movie with different related stories as the movie. The public will flock to the box office when it comes to horror movies. This movie will be no different.

The trailer presentation featurette tells us how the movie idea started with
Guillermo del Toro. He talks about collaborating with Øvredal.

The next trailer tells us more about the book of scary stories and promotes the director and producer of the horror movie.

The next movie trailer shows us more of the horrific aspects of the movie. Each scary story is told as a lesson learned.

The featurette is creepy and sets up a conceptual understanding of what to expect from the movie in general. The idea that these are old and simple horror stories told over a campfire is intriguing.

The next three featurettes are scary and creepy.

The interview with the producer and director is worth watching.
