Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark


Listen Later

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.

Plus: Joe's fave sequence, the ableism/abuse in the Bellows storyline, and that bizarre sequel tease.
