![]() Likewise, no casting news was divulged about the Scary Stories sequel. ![]() Indeed, with the first film having covered classic stories such as “Harold,” “The Big Toe” and “The Red Spot,” the sequel could keep the iconic urban legends/ghost stories coming with representations of yet-to-be-adapted stories such as “The Thing,” “The Hook” and “High Beams.” However, it wouldn’t be outrageous to speculate that the sequel will continue the narrative strategy of the first film, which adapted the literary source material- the trilogy of nightmarishly-illustrated children’s horror tales by author Alvin Schwartz-in a meta manner, showing the stories as having come from a cursed book whose supernatural manifestations are attacking-and disappearing-teenagers in a Pennsylvania small town in 1968. ![]() No official plot details were revealed about Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2 upon its green light. This is a slight pipeline change from the previous movie, which eOne co-produced with CBS Films, which was absorbed into-Paramount’s parent company-Viacom back in December 2019. The untitled sequel will be co-financed by Paramount Pictures and eOne, with the former handling distribution. Additionally, Guillermo del Toro-who worked on the first film’s screenplay after vacating the director’s chair-will return to develop the story on which the script will be based. The creative band is getting back together for the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark sequel movie, with director André Øvredal and writers Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman set to return. Consequently, sequel plans are now moving forward. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark capitalized last year on the classic 1980s literary horror franchise responsible for generational childhood trauma with a feature film that-having earned $105.8 million worldwide-may not have set the box office scene on fire, but certainly provided a big enough bang for its studio’s budgetary buck.
