Horror That Traumatized a Generation

If you grew up with these books, you probably remember the nightmares. 👀 Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was a huge part of childhood for an entire generation but there’s a much stranger story behind these infamous horror books than I ever realized. Alvin Schwartz, Stephen Gammell, terrifying illustrations, childhood folklore, and a controversy that made these some of the most challenged books in America. And now, a documentary exploring the history of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has received a brand-new physical-media release from Vinegar Syndrome. I still have my original childhood copies. So let's take a look back at the books that scared the hell out of us… and find out why they became such a phenomenon.
