Goosebumps is mild compared to this I am a young teen so I never read the books anyway but damn look scary as hell I would have stuck to the goosters

[@troin3925]

This movie is basically a better version of the Goosebumps movie. I'm an unapologetic Goosebumps fanboy myself and while the Goosebumps movie wasn't bad nor terrible, it had some funny moments, it wasn't boring and was self aware of how silly the books can be. But it wasn't the Goosebumps movie that _I_ wanted to see, it didn't even _try_ to be a horror film. If I was to make adaptations of the books, depending on the story, I would give it a similar tone and quality to The Haunting Hour: The Series. I enjoyed this film, it wasn't super amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it. It pulled off some creepy imagery with the Pale Lady scene and had a brutal, onscreen death scene that cleverly gets around blood and gore for a PG-13 movie with the Harold scene. It may not be the same as Harold skinning someone alive like in the book, but turning into a scarecrow from the inside out with straw pouring through your skin and mouth is just as fucked up and brutal!

[@lindsey.13.13.]

i’m actually super surprised that the books came out that long ago. i’m 17 but definitely grew up reading these ever since i got them from my school library when i was in 3rd grade. which honestly was way to young and i think it kinda fucked me up. but i guess these books are just ageless.

[@RapidTP]

I remember reading The Big Toe in 6th grade on a field trip to some hills near San Fransisco. Our teacher read it and I stayed awake throughout the whole night. The movie does well to capture and present that same feeling you get when you read the book. I have to say, I think the Pale Lady might have been the best kill Pain-wise. Didn't seem like Chuck experienced any pain. Just fear and probably confusion as he was hugged.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was one of my favorite things growing up. When I was a kid I got into trouble a LOT. And I spent a lot of time in the corner for it. Hours on end. And one time while I was in the corner I heard my mom reading to my little brother. It was the story of the girl with the ribbon around her neck. I'll skip to the end, her head falls off when she took the ribbon off her head fell off of her body. I had dreams about this girl. Vivid dreams. I thought about her all the time. She's one of the many reasons I fell in love with horror.

I really am impressed by the attention to detail that Guillermo Del Toro gave the Stephen Gammell drawings. I recall being disturbed by those same images as a child, but at the same time, it was difficult to look away. I always felt there was something reminiscent of Lovecraft in those charcoal sketches; a horror of something beyond comprehension, of a thing that aught not have been. Something that was never meant to manifest in our reality. As Del Toro has stated before he was a great fan of Lovecraft's work, so I imagine he must have had a similar view of Gammell's work.

Me tie doughty walker is a good story in my opinion it's a story about a kid and his dog could go to a haunted house where every Night a bloody head falls down a chimney so a boy and his dog go there and they hear somebody singing me tie doughty walker and after that happened a few times a bloody head falls down the chimney the dog dies on Friday and then the boy gets killed after the head screams we do not know how the boy died but that's the scary thing the head screams snd the the story ends how do y'all think the boy died?

[@timfrey2358]

it's weird because it was so creepy buy in most of the stories the fear was a diversion, or everything turns out okay in the end and people don't die in them, they just get scared. But in the movie they all die except a few people. Like the books it was all suspense and they escape the danger, like the woman being followed by a man flashing his headlights but then she learns he was just keeping the murderer in her back seat from killing her, or stories where someone meets or sees a ghost and gets scared but then the ghost leaves and nothing happens, it was like just scary enough without being too violent or depressing for younger kids. The spider one was accurate but in the book the story ends right there, the spiders hatch from a girl's face, the end. So you don't find out if she died, went crazy, was totally fine and just mildly grossed out, nothing.

[@a-cell4564]
