Scary Stories is a 2018 documentary film directed by Cody Meirick and distributed by Wild Eye Releasing.
Documentary about the impact of author Alvin SchwartzâÂÂs Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark young adult literature book series.
The Hollywood Reporter, âÂÂThose who grew up reading Scary Stores to Tell in the Dark will no doubt be thrilled by this cinematic tribute. And those who didnâÂÂt may find themselves compelled to read the books to find out for themselves what all the fuss is about.âÂÂ
Los Angeles Times, âÂÂThis doc excels, though, as a work of critical appreciation. Academics, Schwartz peers and fans alike all break down their favorite stories, describing with great passion how they play on specific adolescent fears. At its best, âÂÂScary Storiesâ explains why these books endure: because they let their young audience know that even in their worst nightmares, theyâÂÂre not alone.âÂÂ
