Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was decent, but a tad underwhelming for a Guillermo del Toro production. Maybe just right for a bunch of Taylor Swift tweeners but a little LIGHT ON THE FRIGHT for a grown ass manly man. But I get grumpy sometimes, maybe it was just amazing and I wasn't ready for it? We'll probably never know.
Based on the children's book series of the same name, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark wrapped its own narrative around many of said stories which basically involved a cursed storybook that created 'new' stories on the fly (in blood!) by the ghost of a mistreated girl from 100 years ago... that torment the characters of the current movie timeline... uh... Did I mention the movie is set in 1968? Anyway, there is quite a bit of fantasy wrapped up in the stories so you may or may not dig that aspect. I didn't hate it, so that's a small victory. 7 body parts of jangly man reuniting multiple times out of 10.
