There is talk of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark being turned into a movie which is even more exciting for me than when they announced Where the Wild Things Are to be coming out.
I could imagine @gourimoko being excited about this as well, depending on whether you read the books as a kid.
This one is going to need to either be a cartoon or much more preferably just a regular movie with incredible technology to reflect those nightmarish pictures and landscapes Stephen Gamill drew. The illustrations were absolutely what made those books. Everything was so distorted and hairy and bloody looking. It could be really, really tough to do this with regular actors, but this needs to be EXTREMELY frightening to live up to those books.
As far as the structure of the movie, I'd love to see it being a series of shorts similar to the way Campfire Tales was done. Any way they can maximize the amount of stories that they tell. There were just too many great ones to name, though "The Drum," "me Tie Doughty Walker," "May I Carry Your Basket" and "Harold."
Absolutely cannot wait for this.
