**"You don't read the book. The book reads you."** **** ![Scary_Stories_to_Tell_in_the_Dark_film_logo.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZR9rS8JQ9NaTKrKhRcRTvBLYaqP7RhKpuTEeaKVE66cD/Scary_Stories_to_Tell_in_the_Dark_film_logo.jpg) I learned about this during my unending search for a decent horror movie. One that will finally get my adrenaline surging, and scare the f?¿? outta me. All other *horror* movies i've seen have always seemed like *child's play* (no, not the movie🙃). SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK is an amazingly dark horror thriller, and I'll admit that somewhere through this 108-minute movie, I could feel the intensity of my own heart beat. ![images (1).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXGfqnzNQ22XQo7ECuKVERe431eu2vgyrqwCM37AsHCUD/images%20(1).jpeg) **If you, *unlike me* like to go into a film blind, it might be better if you don't read any further.**🙂 Released by Lionsgate and CBS Films, ***Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark*** was theatrically released in the United States on August 9, 2019. It was directed by André Øvredal, based on the children's book series of the same name by Alvin Schwartz. **The story follows a group of friends, residing in the small town of Mill Valley, Pennsylvania... who come across a book📚** Every night , the book Automatically writes (in itself) a 'deathly' story (about a real person) which plays out in real life exactly how the story was written. The story seems to be written in blood, and practically NOTHING can be done to stop a story from being written. Not even burning the book🔥 ![A+ Gallery_24.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRWw75gVQET1EV2DxpinWmABhV2EXWvQkH1QCsK52qf9r/A+%20Gallery_24.jpg) ^{[SPOILER] there was this one time...a girl got a swelling on her cheek after she was bitten by a spider. the swelling eventually grew bigger...and bigger...and bigger...until it burst, and from it crawled thousands of black baby spiders🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️} ****** Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark has a very interesting way to arouse fear in the audience and I applaud it for that. The acting was also pretty solid. Matter of fact, I've watched it twice in 3 days already. # My Rating? ![tenor.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVwWLeQPCqarVYZsb5uHcyZHtZTZcGT4ic3JdYbU3SRv8/tenor.gif)
