If you’re like me, when you were a kid you loved scary stories and nothing was better than the book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz. Now, writer-producer Guillermo del Toro and director André Øvredal have made a film inspired by the books and it’s set to open in theaters this summer.
“Breaking Bad” stars Dean Norris along with Gil Bellows (Patriot), and Lorraine Toussaint(Into the Badlands, Orange is the New Black), Zoe Colletti (Annie, Wildlife, Skin), Michael Garza (Wayward Pines, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1), Austin Abrams (Brad’s Status, The Americans), Gabriel Rush (Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Austin Zajur (Fist Fight, Kidding), and Natalie Ganzhorn (Make it Pop, Wet Bum).
