The books of collected stories by Alvin Shwartz and their accompanying terrifying artwork by Stephen Gammell served as many children's gateway into reading or telling each other tales of the macabre! We discuss our favorite stories, the pictures that gave us nightmares, and the film that did the novels such justice.Today's root beer is Olipop.Intro and Outro music by Stereoalex on Pond5

Spooky Season continues as Brenna and Joe tackle Alvin Schwartz's collection of folklore urban legends, as well as André Øvredal's 2019 adaptation.We heap praise on the illustrations by Stephen Gammell and acknowledge Schwartz's campfire tales as gateway horror.The film doesn't work as well: the Vietnam backstory is undercooked, villain Tommy is dispatched too early and the monsters aren't persuasive to Brenna.

"Stories hurt, stories heal." - Stella Nicholls If you are a Gen Xer and don't remember desperately trying to check out the Scary Stories books from the library, are you even ok??? Just kidding. Sort of. Even if the books weren't your thing, you can appreciate the shock and awe of the illustrations done by Stephen Gammell. Andrea and Melissa definitely have a long-standing relationship with the books, but had not yet seen the 2019 film. It turns out, this was a great trip through the nostalgia of the books, while enjoying them woven together in a movie! Even if you haven't seen the movie, this episode is such a fun listen for those of us that remember Alvin Schwartz's strange tapestry of folklore and horror. Remember, don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by...….. but laugh as much as you want listening to this episode!

It is officially September, and we are SO excited to be ringing in the Halloween season by easing on down the road toward All Hallows' Eve with a trip to a very seasonal, and very spooky, new Halloween favorite... Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! We cover everything from Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell's bone-chilling books to Guillermo Del Toro and Andre Ovredal's frightening film. We illustrate just why these stories have stuck with us from our childhood and why we can't get enough of them as adults. Stay spoopy!

Nothing like diggin' up some old bones when we're returning to the content slate, eh? That's why i dug up a particular ghost, a gasp from the past, Mr. SkellyBones to join us on today's closing episode for Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Fun Fact, Mr. SkellyBones was here to ring in the Scary Stories series we've been doing since Season 2, with the esteemed Bunch of Baby Ducks on Episode 83, and now he's BACK to BURY IT. We owe our childhood fuckery to Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell, as they were our spooky grandpas for whom we probably would never have made this show without their influence.

Have you read any of the “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark” series of books? As a kid? As an adult? Both? . These books, the Scary Stories series, made a HUGE impression on me when I read them a couple of years ago, as an adult. The artwork is terrifying and amazing. The stories are timeless and creepy, sometimes funny, sometimes disgusting. Always entertaining and fun, that's the trick of these stories. They grab you and won't let go. Just like some of the baddies in the stories? Oh, but the art, that's the REAL kicker, isn't it? The art in the Scary Stories books worms it's way into your brain and takes up permanent residence. The original art by Stephen Gammell, that is. Sinister and creepy to the point you feel the art could jump out of the pages and say “YOU HAVE IT!!!”. Here's what you'll get in this episode - An in-depth look at Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell. Three stories, one from each book, are dissected and analized. There's a dramatic retelling of “The Hook”, as it was told to me, when I was a kid in the 1980's. Then, in the final chapter of the episode, a brief look at the controversy that has plagued this book series for years and years. The Celluloid Catacombs with Carolyn Mauricette pops in to talk about the “Scary Stories…” movie adaption and some fiends of The Bobcast stop by to tell us how the Scary Stories have affected them over the years. Music of the episode by Vudu Sister, who are amazing and will delight you with their spooky sounds.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell has been a staple in children's horror since its publication in 1981, along with its two sequels, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (1984), and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones (1991). And today, Matters talks about one of the less supernatural, more psychological horror stories from the final book in the series, Scary Stories 3, titled, "Maybe You Will Remember," that draws inspiration from a 1950 movie, So Long at the Fair, and famous urban legends about a Vanishing Hotel Room.

Today's Bible event reminds me of a kooky book THE RELATIVES CAME by Cynthia Rylant and with fantastic illustrations by Stephen Gammell. It is a "Children's" book that adults will laugh out loud reading. Distant crazy relatives come to visit and are warmly welcomed. You are part of the family! Welcome home! (The sleepover page is just visually HILARIOUS)In the Bible, distant, different, distinct, scared, respectful relatives come to do what they are obligated to do in Jerusalem. They WANT TO SEE JESUS. Is He the Son of the God they have come to worship? Apparently, their quest is taken sincerely by both the disciples and Jesus. "I am here this week to save the world by dying the worst death possible, but I will have an audience specifically with these non-Jews."So if you feel like some crazy relative visiting this foreign land of God, WELCOME HOME. You are not the first to feel its strangeness. You are not the first to request and entry into a kingdom that is quite "other." The children's book is $4.79 on Amazon and is recommended. The real story as distant relatives of Jesus are welcomed is PRICELESS and is HIGHLY recommended. Get the book. Get the "welcome home" you've been longing for by visiting God today.

We wrap up our "Scary Stories" series this week with 1991's Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones. We meet "Harold", "the Pale Face Lady", and several other sinister players in this unique and magical 80s/90s universe created by author Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Join us we read several of our favorite chilling tales and see where the stories and conversation take us.

In 1981, former journalist turned author Alvin Schwartz released a book that would ultimately define his writing career with a series of short stories cobbled together for a collection known as “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.” With nightmarish imagery provided by artist Stephen Gammell, the book was marketed for younger readers much to the chagrin of some of their parents, who complained about the graphic nature of the macabre stories that often featured gruesome deaths. In fact, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” was the most frequently challenged book for library inclusion during the 1990’s. Sadly, Schwartz died in 1992 but his work lived on with a film released in 2019 by the same name that featured many of his most iconic stories and characters. The movie much like the books targeted a younger audience but plenty of adults were anxious to see the frightening stories they read as children come to life on the big screen. In the latest episode of “Rewind of the Living Dead,” we’re going to make sure Harold is still hanging in the cornfield and nobody is missing a big toe as we discuss the 2019 film “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”…

The terrifying tales and spine-chilling illustrations from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark have haunted the minds of generations of readers. Today we will palaver about the two amazing men who brought these stories to life. Alvin Schwartz, is the storyteller who collected and researched the various folktales from around the world. He compiled these tales into three separate children’s books that would not only be a massive success, but a heated topic of debate. The success of the books can simply not be discussed without talking about Stephen Gammell's horrific stringy art that captivated children and adults alike. Join your Palaver hosts as we contribute to the never-ending debate of fear of books vs. fear of censorship.

True Fact: The longest book written in the English language is the easy book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. Other True Fact: That first fact is untrue, but it's certainly what Kate believed in her heart when she finished reading that book during this recording. While many people remember all too well the title of today's book, its plot (such as it is) remains, for many, a mystery. Kate certainly didn't know what to expect and, to be fair, how could she have? Can anyone truly predict Clark or the Ying or Ned? Sweet sweet Ned? We think not. Show Notes: One image in this book was once parodied when Betsy made a post challenging artists to Re-Seussify Seuss. Which is to say, re-illustrate a Dr. Seuss work in the style of another illustrator. And Nathan Hale (of Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales) decided to take on "yellow teeth guy" (as Kate calls him) in the style of Stephen Gammell. You know. The fellow who illustrated Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And the result is beautiful. Go here and scroll to the bottom: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/03/01/re-seussification-project-the-results/ Here is a video of famous novelists Kevin O'Leary, Ami McKay, and Erin Morgenstern reading this book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0waeG_x2eow Here is the article we were told about in this episode (in reference to Jingle Dancer by Cynthia Leitich Smith)called, "Created during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, Jingle Dresses are once again offering inspiration, healing" - https://nativenewsonline.net/entertainment/created-during-the-1918-spanish-flu-pandemic-jingle-dresses-are-once-again-offering-inspiration-healing/ For more Show Notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/04/13/fuse-8-n-kate-one-fish-two-fish-red-fish-blue-fish-by-dr-seuss/

Today we talk about the children's book series that affected the majority of the children's population of the United States.

Halloween is almost upon us! And like every year, Kate is always challenging Betsy to come up with some classic scares. This year, we've seen Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark adapted to the silver screen. Seems only natural to then pull out what many would consider to be Schwartz's other scary classic for kids. And, oh joy, it's part of the I Can Read series! What we had not counted on was that in 2017 Harper Collins re-illustrated the series. What to do? Well... why not do both versions? Original illustrator Dirk Zimmer originally hailed from Germany while current illustrator Victor Rivas lives in Barcelona. Who is scarier in the end? Will this be like that time Harper Collins re-illustrated Scary Stories with Brett Helquist instead of Stephen Gammell and the world went mad? Guess you'll just have to find out for yourself. Show Notes: Here are Kate's Grown-Up Things she liked: First up the game Zombie Dice: https://www.amazon.com/SJG-131313-Zombie-Dice/dp/B003IKMR0U Second up, a Zombie catnip toy you can make yourself and the link here goes to Kate's old and, frankly, amazing blog from 2014: http://katokula.blogspot.com/2014/03/zombie-catnip-toy.html Betsy is serious. She LOVES the American Writers Museum of Chicago. No lie. When you all come to Chicago next (and for some of you that will be the next American Library Association conference in June) you must visit it: https://americanwritersmuseum.org/ For the full Show Notes, please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2019/10/28/review-of-the-day:-in-a-dark,-dark-room-by-alvin-schwartz/

Shane Hunt joined us to talk about the upcoming “Scary Stories: A Tribute to Terror”. This tribute project has original stories by Curt Tuckfield. Shane does a superb job of creating images that are a clear throwback to the original Stephen Gammell illustrations.  Shane talks to us about how this tribute project came about, as well as his methods of drawing the haunting illustrations. This project is currently on Kickstarter. You can help fund this project by heading over to the following link: http://kck.st/2oS9IKS. You can purchase your copy of the book, by clicking here. "Scary Stories: A Tribute To Terror is over 150 pages, containing over 30 stories and over 50 illustrations. The stories come from the imagination of author Curt Tuckfield as well as folklore and real occurrences.  Like the originals, our stories contain no “adult” language, sex, or extremely graphic violence, but we feel they are psychologically more intense (and dare we say, more frightening?) than the originals. Essentially, we have tried to match the surreal grade school tone of the original books while introducing and amplifying elements that will appeal to an older audience."

Taking a look at the new movie directed by Andre Ovredal and produced by Guillermo del Toro - Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - based on the legendary books by Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. The three set book series, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, written by Alan Schwartz is probably most famous for its artwork by Stephen Gammell. Fairly scary and some say not appropriate for young children, the books and their art were one of the most controversial books for children. Now in 2019, director André Øvredal, famous for such modern classics as TROLLHUNTER (2010) and THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016), is back with an adaptation of the Schwartz books. Teenagers Stella, Auggie, and Chuck meet up with an out-of-town eighteen year old named Ramón. When fleeing bullies on Halloween, they land up at the old Bellow house, an abandoned mansion with dark secrets. While investigating the rooms, they find an old book that may bring evil upon the town. Starring relatively unknowns, the movie however received good reviews. Oddly just like the books, the film may be a bit more scary than its suggested viewership. With its successful box office run, the movie is another in a list of 2019 horror films bringing success to theaters. Dark Discussions takes a look at this new film and gives their thoughts. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM

Banned by some libraries, defended by others, and sought after by children and adults alike, Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books (featuring eerie artwork by Stephen Gammell) have left a bone-chilling mark on generations of readers, and to celebrate the release of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie, we discuss both the adaptation and its source material on this episode of Corpse Club! Listen as Tamika Jones, Derek Anderson, and Jonathan James share their fondest (and most haunting) memories of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books, including their favorite stories, Gammell's delightfully twisted artwork, and how the books, along with R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series, served as gateway horror for generations of young readers. The Corpse Club co-hosts also talk about André Øvredal's new Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark film (co-written and produced by Guillermo del Toro), from its late ’60s setting and fleshed-out characters to its creepy monsters brought to life through a potent blend of practical effects, CGI, and scary good performance artists. With another autumn lurking right around the corner, the trio also talk about early Halloween preparations, including their latest finds at Spirit Halloween (for those lucky enough to have one already open nearby) and the haunted houses, immersive experiences, and escape rooms they're looking forward to checking out this fall. So, whether Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is responsible for countless hours of lost sleep in your life, or you're completely new to the world of the Pale Lady, Harold the Scarecrow, and "The Red Spot" of squirming spiders, sit back, relax, and enjoy a new episode of Daily Dead's podcast... just make sure you don't hear someone calling out for their missing toe!

This week on BEHIND THE LENS we take an in-depth look at a slow burn neo-noir thriller, plus the long-awaited big screen adaptation of Alvin Schwartz's beloved book series, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK. Take a listen to writer/director LISE RAVEN and actor FRANK BRUCKNER as they go deep into the making of SNAELAND. Character-driven and starring Bruckner and Emily Behr, SNAELAND was shot completely on location in Iceland and Berlin. From conception to character to casting to cinematography to sound, no stone is left unturned in our discussion. Presenting the unique challenge of sunlight 24/7, Lise provides great filmmaking insight into tackling this aspect of the production, including camera and lens selection, while Frank talks about how 24-hour daylight impacted not only him as an actor but in influencing his approach to his character. Lise also provides economical and ecological tips for minimizing the film's carbon footprint in Iceland while also navigating permits and travel of equipment. And hear our exclusive interview with director Andre Ordeval as he talks about SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, most notably the intertwining of sound and production design, plus the importance of bringing Stephen Gammell's acclaimed book illustrations to life on film. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

André Øvredal's film "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," based on the '80s and '90s short story collections, transforms the creepy tales we read and chilling artwork (from Stephen Gammell) we absorbed as children onto the movie screen. The question we had before we watched it was, 'How do you make a movie out of a children's book of short stories?' We were a little skeptical at first, but the imaginative collaboration of Øvredal and Guillermo del Toro made for an incredible viewing experience. This may just be our highest ranking film on "Popcorn Talk" yet. Listen on to find out why. “Popcorn Talk” is a 30-minute long podcast dissecting movies both new and old and providing a decent review that will at least help you decide if a movie is worth seeing or not.

With Guillermo del Toro on board as producer, "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" does more than is required of PG-13 jump horror, putting characters from the popular children's book into a film that would be outstanding even without them.

They eat your eyes, they eat your toes - but all we're asking for is your ears to listen to us revisit SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, the book series featuring stories retold by Alvin Schwartz and nightmare-inducing illustrations by Stephen Gammell. There was nothing more exhilarating to an 80s and 90s tween than flipping through these books under the covers with a flashlight, both hoping for and dreading the scares you'll get before you go to sleep. The "Scary Stories" series remains popular with kids, is not so popular with a certain sect of overprotective parents who still hope the books get banned from their children's libraries, and is finally getting a big-screen adaptation 38 years after the release of the first book. But now that we're adults, are the stories really all that scary? Are Gammell's watercolor drawings as creepy as we remember them? And can someone tell us why the car behind us is repeatedly flashing their high beams? Join us for our latest episode -- if you dare!

They were the stories that freaked you out as a kid.  Now they're coming to life on the big screen in SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK from writer/producer Guillermo Del Toro & director Andre Ovredal. In this episode, Andy Farnsworth is joined by award-winning critic & horror movie aficionado Matthew Jacobson to talk about the film and the book series on which it's based... what the film got right in its adaptation and where it was weak... what was the scariest part... and why we are attracted to folklore and scary stories. A spoiler-free discussion until 15:16... then spoilers after that.

We talk to filmmaker Cody Meirick about his new documentary, "Scary Stories." If you didn't grow up in the 80's and 90's, you may have never been haunted by the nightmarish illustrations of Stephen Gammell, which made these books cult classics and also put them on the path of the "banned book list." But often overlooked is the author himself, Alvin Schwartz. It wasn't just the disturbing illustrations that kept kids up all night, it was the stories too...

Episode Forty Six: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: For nearly 40 years, Alvin Schwartz' collection of scary stories has been a staple of campfires sleepovers, and on ALA list of most banned books. Cody Meirick director of the Scary Stories documentary chatted with Sharon, Meghan and Jessikah about the legacy Schwartz (and illustrator Stephen Gammell) have cast over generations of young readers. Together we wax nostalgic on our favorite tales, illustrations and the power of folklore in literature.

We're going BACK in time to the late 90's to visit the inspiration to all our childhood nightmare's with Alvin Schwartz's first volume and compilation effort.

Andy’s personal artwork, in many ways, is a throwback to comics of the 90’s, personal influences and the realization that not all artwork needs to be created within the confines of normality. Notes for the show:Andy Sciazko Art / http://andysciazkoart.com/home.htmlNightmare Soup / https://nightmaresoup.com/Nightmare Soup 2 : The Second Helping / https://nightmaresoup.com/products/nightmare-soup-2-pre-orderAndy's Instagram / https://www.instagram.com/andysciazkoart/Andy's Etsy Shop / https://www.etsy.com/no-en/people/andysciazkoSoulless.Co Interview / https://www.soulless.co/single-post/2017/12/08/Andy-Sciazko-Interview-GiveawayDark Arts Society / https://www.facebook.com/DarkArtSociety/Mary Syring's Art / https://www.marysyring.com/A24 Films / https://a24films.com/Mike May Art + Mike May Twitch / http://www.mikemayart.com/ + https://www.twitch.tv/mikemayartStanDarkArt / http://standarkart.bigcartel.com/Live Worms Gallery / https://www.sflivewormsgallery.com/Stephen Gammell / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_GammellAlvin Schwartz / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Schwartz_(children%27s_author)Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scary_Stories_to_Tell_in_the_DarkWho Goes There? / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There%3FJohn Carpenter's "The Thing" / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(1982_film)AV Club Interview with Andy / https://news.avclub.com/the-dream-of-scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark-lives-on-17982498011428 Elm Interview with Andy / https://1428elm.com/2017/08/31/scary-stories-inspired-nightmare-soup-2-arrives-just-in-time-for-halloween/Bloody Disgusting Interview with Andy / http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3452041/awesome-artist-inspired-scary-stories-tell-dark/Dread Central Interview with Andy / http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/249478/scary-stories-tell-dark-spiritual-successor-nightmare-soup-releasing-sequel/Rue Morgue Interview with Andy / https://www.rue-morgue.com/nightmare-soup-ii-offers-a-healthy-portion-of-scary-stories-inspired-nostalgia/

Kevin Pedersen joins Jen this week to talk about children's horror. From Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, to Are You Afraid of the Dark?, to Goosebumps, there was no shortage of creepy entertainment aimed specifically at kids in the '80s and early '90s, but do children today have as many options when they're looking for a fright? And what exactly makes a scary story scary anyway? One thing's for sure: illustrations by Stephen Gammell certainly don't hurt.
