Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Here’s When the Spooky Adaptation Is Hitting Theaters
Halloween is swinging by early this year for scary movie buffs - Guillermo del Toro's upcoming adaptation of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will drop at the end of the Summer and officially usher the masses into spooky season.
Don't believe us? Watch the nightmare-inducing trailers featured during the Super Bowl.While the film is set to be released later this year, its production hasn't always been smooth sailing.
CBS Films first acquired rights to Schwartz's children's books full of creepy stories (and even creepier illustrations) in 2013.
It was pitched to the production company by the screenwriters from the Saw franchise, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan.The project halted for a few years, changing script writers every so often.
Momentum picked up when the CBS Films announced in January 2016 that horror connoisseur Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy) would join the project as a producer.
