Scary Stories: A Documentary

Posted : March 31st, 2015

While not Halloween-specific, every Halloween-lovin’ kid that came across Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark loved it; Chicago filmmaker Cody Meirick is making a documentary about one of the greatest children’s books ever published, and he needs your help to make it happen:

“This upcoming documentary will explore the history and background of one of the most controversial works of modern children’s literature: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. In many American libraries of the ’80s and ’90s these books developed a growing interest from boys and girls who were taken in by the gothic tales, the whimsical tone, and the ghostly illustrations. Now the Scary Stories book series stands as the most challenged children’s book of the last 30 years and a testament to the power of something that is often taken for granted: A good scary story.”
