“A group of teens face their fears in order to save their town.”

From director André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is the feature-film adaptation of the horror children’s book series from the 1980’s. I have a vivid recollection of these books, and from the actual stories to the illustrations i always thought it was extremely creepy. I am hoping this movie does the books justice but it is certainly a fine line to balance considering the source material - I did however very much enjoy director André Øvredal’s horror film The Autopsy of Jane Doe so I think he is capable. Check out the official teaser trailers below!!
