Legendary director Guillermo del Toro announced today on Twitter that he will be producing (and possibly directing) a film based on Alvin Schwartz' Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books. John August, who wrote the screenplays for several Tim Burton films including Big Fish, Corpse Bride, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has reportedly been working on the script, and del Toro has confirmed that illustrator Stephen Gammell's terrifying imagery will be featured in the film!
We can't wait to see del Toro's take on the stories that were so scary people repeatedly sought to ban them from libraries!
