Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark
My wife and I had no idea what this movie was about, but we were in the mood for something spooky so we bought tickets.
I will not spoil anything here. Just gonna say that if you are a fan of Stranger Things, Monster Squad, Lost Boys, It, and in some sections, The Shining, you will dig the vibe here. The time period this happens in makes it interesting anyway. We left the theatre having enjoyed it more than we thought we would.
After we got home, I read up on the movie to learn that it was adapted from a book series aimed at young readers, but I didn’t get that vibe while I was watching it. It is not a “Goosebumps” movie with kiddie humor to soften the scares. Like I said above, there is more of a 1980’s feel to it.
8 out of 10 for me. I’d like to watch this again around Halloween.
