Oh man those monster designs are spot-on, including the pale woman from The Dream, Harold, and The Haunted House ghost girl.. Even then they don't show a whole lot which is good. Plus I like the angle where judging from the trailer the monsters come to life when they read the passage about them in a cursed book akin to The Necronomicon. Harold may be a special occasion. Oh fuck the spider is alive in her cheek!!! I gaurentee this movie will make me shit out my insides. 10/10 .100/100 best teaser.
Fuck yeah keep owning Ballistic Gel Torso!
Oh hell yea, they're fully leaning into the aesthetic of Stephen Gammell's illustrations. His art defined those books almost more than the stories themselves. Never forget the butchery that is the new publications of the book, featuring "updated" art. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qR9XL9Eb-1k/UVz7Mu3-c7I/AAAAAAAAAjc/ee6cXEz4PSs/s1600/scary.JPG
it's a shame cause the art on the right isn't bad per se, it's just completely ineffectual compared to its predecessor
I never read those books but this gave me a strong Silent Hill vibe and I love it. Still mad that Silent Hills never had a chance.
Trust me when I say 80% of the stories don't hold up to older readers. Keep in mind they were made for kids in the 80's and early 90's, but with the twist that these tales have a bit of an edge to them that most books of that grade do. Either it's the fucking traumatizing illustrations that got it BANNED in bookstores or the use of death, revenge, and hints of abuse in these tales it's no wonder why kids from either generation were stark crazy into checking these out. Even in High School kids were taking these books past their due dates to get scared. Look up Stephen Gammell if you never heard of him. He's the guy behind everyone's nightmares from those books and I'm too much of a pussy to link them. Even if you take the scare factor out there is some good imagination built into them. This one is one of my non-scary favorites. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/133007/cdf4ae79-de73-43d9-b5bc-adbb6bd9a2dd/image.png Also Vman you HAD to bring the Haunted House girl into this man. Not like I wanted sleep. /s
