The Things That Come at Night

.

I feel as if I must post the trailer for the forthcoming horror flick Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark since it is very very much a thing I am interested in, although it is that very interest that is also fueling my hesitation -- there is no way I am watching this trailer myself since I want to see as little as possible with this one. Based on the classic horror books by Alvin Schwartz -- or more importantly based on the illustrations that accompanied those stories by Stephen Gammell; make sure if you're looking to check these books out for the first time you buy the books with his art because otherwise you'll miss what made these things stick so hard onto the brains of an entire generation...

... I was already on board with a movie adaptation, but then they (the "they" being "producer Guillermo Del Toro") hired Norwegian director André Øvredal to make the thing, and he's two-for-two with Trollhunter and The Autopsy of Jane Doe as far as I'm concerned. So anyway point being I'm on this thing like white on nationalists, but you can make up your own mind whether you want to watch the trailer or not, so get to makin'...
