‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Documentary Expected in 2019
As we know, Guillermo del Toro and director André Øvredal‘s long awaited adaptation of Alvin Schwartz‘s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is headed for a 2019 release. The beloved YA books are a phenomenon worthy of a double cinematic outing, though, and today saw the announcement that Wild Eye Releasing has acquired worldwide rights to a documentary about the series.
The documentary, directed by Cody Meirick, will be getting a theatrical release, which is expected to be coordinated with the release of the feature adaptation. The documentary boasts more than 40 interviews including fellow authors like R.L Stine, Schwartz’s family members, friends, folklorists, artists and fans.
