Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)
From the dark imaginations of Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro and acclaimed director André Øvredal (Trollhunter) comes Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, based on the iconic book series.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark won Best Horror/Thriller Film at the National Film and Television Awards in the USA.
