Guillermo del Toro's Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Gets A Skin-Crawling New Poster

Guillermo del Toro's horrifying live-action adaptation of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark keeps getting scarier and scarier.


The movie's back with a brand new poster, and this time around it's not pulling any punches any time it comes to reminding the kids right now adults) who grew up reading the books that inspired it horror inside of the pages.


This poster is based on "The Red Spot," or a story about a young girl who wakes up one morning with a blemish on her face. You could visualize it in the picture there, yet the poster lets you in on the sinister reality in back of the spot. At first, the girl believes it to be a spider bite. Let's just mention the truth is a lot more terrifying than you could have guessed.


The film, based on the infamous number of horrific short stories written by Alvin Schwartz, will take a couple of of the tales from within and bring them to life. The book was accountable for so several nightmares for kids in the '80s and '90s that we've lost count by right now. Thanks to illustrations by Stephen Gammell, the volumes were filled with photos that made the stories even more terrifying than their text alone.


The movie is set in 1968 in a little American town called Mill valley, where the Bellows family member mansion stands. A young girl with "horrible secrets" named Sarah used to live there, and turned her experiences into a tome of scary stories. A crowd of teenagers in the present find the residence and find that her stories start coming to life in their world – much like what's going on in "The Red Spot's" poster.


CBS has teased that there really are "more scares" coming later this week, which could mean we're skipping past the teaser stage and getting well into the whole trailer phase. Previously, all we've seen are several teasers and posters, and we're willing to be able to see it all come with each other, especially any time it comes to figuring out which stories will be adapted in the film.


Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will hit theaters on August 9, 2019.
