Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a series of three children's horror books written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. The titles of the books are Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (1981), More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (1984), and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones (1991).

Overview

Schwartz drew heavily from folklore and urban legends as the topic of his stories, researching extensively and spending more than a year on writing each book.[1][2] The first volume was published in 1981, and the books have subsequently been collected in both a box set and a single volume. There is also an audiobook version of each book, read by George S. Irving. The audiobooks are presented in unabridged format with the exception of a handful of missing stories from the first book.

This series is listed as being the most challenged series of books from 1990–1999[3] and seventh most challenged from 2000–2009[4] by the American Library Association for its violence.[2] The surreal, nightmarish illustrations contained within are also a frequently challenged component of the original books.

To celebrate the books' 30th anniversary in 2011, Harper Collins re-released the books with new illustrations from Brett Helquist, the illustrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This was not well received from fans of Gammell's illustrations, citing that they are not as effective or as scary as the originals. To further elaborate, critics note the remade drawings are not only in fact insulting to horror, art, but also both Stephen Gammell and Alvin Schwartz themselves, new and old fans alike, and that the original messages and themes are lost when not paired with the drawings made for them. A counterpoint often made to people against the original drawings is that if a child can not handle the disturbing images, they won't be able to handle the disturbing stories.[5]

Film adaptation

{{Main|Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (film)}}

In 2013, CBS Films acquired the rights to the Alvin Schwartz's children's book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, with the intent of producing it as a potential feature film.[6] It was announced in 2014 that writer John August will pen the film for CBS Films.[7] On January 14, 2016, it was announced that Guillermo del Toro would develop the project for CBS Films and potentially attached to direct, while he would also produce the film along with Sean Daniel, Jason Brown, and Elizabeth Grave.[8] On February 24, 2016, CBS Films hired screenwriting brothers duo Dan and Kevin Hageman to polish the draft written by August, and before him the script was written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton.[9] On April 29th 2018, Guilermo Del Toro was announced as co writer of the film. In August 2018, Michael Garza, Austin Abrams, Gabriel Rush, Austin Zajur and Natalie Ganzhorn joined the cast with André Øvredal directing.[10] The film is set to be released on August 9, 2019, by Lionsgate and CBS Films.[11]

Documentary

A documentary about the book series titled Scary Stories was produced, which involved the family of Alvin Schwartz and features the controversial nature of the books as well as the folklore and the art that inspired many over the years. It features R.L. Stine and several other authors of 1980s and 1990s children's horror. It debuted at Panic Fest in Kansas City.[12][13]

Tribute anthology

The Horror Writers Association announced on February 9, 2018 that they would be compiling a new tribute anthology entitled New Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, to be edited by Jonathan Maberry, and featuring submissions from HWA members.[14]
