CBS Films‘ movie adaptation of the classic children’s novels Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark from writer/producer Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth) has released its first poster. As you can see, it depicts the spitting image of Harold from “Scary Stories 3.” Check out the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark poster in the gallery below!
The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book series was first published during the 1980s, written/adapted from folklore by Alvin Schwartz and gorily illustrated by Stephen Gammell. The film follows a group of young teens who must solve the mystery surrounding the sudden and macabre deaths in their small town.
