Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books are making a comeback with all-new, movie-themed covers. 

The three popular YA books of creepy short stories will be released featuring three terrifying shots from the live-action movie on the new covers. 

The books by Alvin Schwartz are back to bring you nightmares about scary monsters and baby spiders growing out of your face. No one is safe. 

Natalie Ganzhorn (Ruth) shared pics of the re-released books, including her gross, spider-filled face gracing Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones

She joins Zoe Margaret Colletti (Stella Nicholls), Michael Garza (Ramon Morales), Gabriel Rush (Auggie Hilderbrandt), Austin Zajur (Chuck Steinberg), Austin Abrams (Tommy), Kathleen Pollard (Sarah Bellows), Lorraine Toussaint (Lou Lou), Gil Bellows (Chief Turner), and Dean Norris (Roy Nicholls) in the film adaptation of the books. In the movie, Stella and a group of kids find a book of short stories in a haunted house. Sarah Bellows, a child tortured in the house, wrote the stories based on the horrors she faced there. Now, the book is reading the gang of teens and sending the stories’ monsters after the kids. They have to work together to save their own lives. 

If you’re looking for all the creeps, you can pick up the box set of the trilogy in paperback on Amazon.  

The live-action movie premieres in theaters on Aug. 9.
