"Dogs have a real sense of family. So they rally around in the bad times and form a solid united entity." Briarcliff Ent. has revealed the official US trailer for Luc Besson's movie DogMan, which first premiered last year at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. This was supposed to open earlier in 2023, then they held it for the festival premiere, and it opened in Europe quickly after. "Wherever there is an unfortunate, God sends a dog." DogMan tells the incredible story of a child – bruised by life – who will find his salvation through the love of his dogs. Caleb Landry Jones stars as its fragile yet resilient protagonist who bends societal rules as he makes his own way. The film has "an edgy, indie feel reminiscent of Besson's debut feature Subway" and his other early films like The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, & Leon. The cast also includes Christopher Denham,...

Nearly three and a half years have gone by since it was announced that director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro were re-teaming for a sequel to their cinematic adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series of books. A few months ago, Øvredal confirmed that Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2 was still in the works and a script has been written, the project had just been slowed down by the pandemic, the making of his Dracula movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and this year’s Hollywood strikes. But now Collider has shared a quote from the producers that indicates there might be some kind of trouble behind the scenes…
The screenplay for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2 has been written by the first film’s writers Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman, working from a story crafted by del Toro.

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark episode of Wtf Happened to This Adaptation? was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian. Here is the text of Hatfield’s script:
Campfire tales. Town legends. Ghost stories. Whatever you want to call them, they exist as a way to tell stories from one generation to the next. They can be told at summer camp, at sleepovers, or by grandpa when he’s had an extra J & B and is feeling squirrely. They can be urban legends, embellished stories based in fact, or even just a made-up tale to illicit fright from its listeners. For certain generations, the stories of Alvin Schwartz accompanied by the illustrations of Stephen Gammel have terrified kids who stumbled upon them at the Scholastic book fair and given adults Ptsd...

Nearly three and a half years have gone by since it was announced that director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro were re-teaming for a sequel to their cinematic adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series of books… but don’t let the extended silence stir up any fears that Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2 has been cancelled. While speaking with IGN, Øvredal – whose Dracula movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter reaches theatres on August 11th – confirmed that the sequel is still in development!
Øvredal said, “We have a story. We have a script. We’ve been working on the script as late as last year and even slightly into this year. The process obviously stopped with the strike – but it’s alive, for sure. Covid and then [The Last Voyage of the Demeter] eating up two years of...

EuropaCorp has revealed the trailer for Luc Besson's new film DogMan, which is set to debut later this year at the fall film festivals.

This Quantum Leap review contains spoilers.
Quantum Leap Episode 15
Just when I thought that a straight man in heels could no longer cut the funny mustard, Ben Song (Raymond Lee) turned sensible pumps, high necklines, and massive shoulder pads into a comedy explosion. It’s not just that he trips when he takes his first high-heeled steps into this coiffed, 1985 leap, Ben moves with imitative grace as he wheels his oversized briefcase from scene to scene through the courthouse, and it keeps the chuckles rolling. Unlike the original series, the sequel hasn’t played much with the sophomoric humor of a man in women’s clothes. But there is something about Ben’s sincerity in pulling off the professional look and how he copes with its unfamiliarity that triggers a delightful farce.
A little humor is always welcome in Quantum Leap, especially since the purpose of each leap leans toward life vs.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark capitalized last year on the classic 1980s literary horror franchise responsible for generational childhood trauma with a feature film that—having earned $105.8 million worldwide—may not have set the box office scene on fire, but certainly provided a big enough bang for its studio’s budgetary buck. Consequently, sequel plans are now moving forward.
The creative band is getting back together for the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark sequel movie, with director André Øvredal and writers Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman set to return. Additionally, Guillermo del Toro—who worked on the first film’s screenplay after vacating the director’s chair—will return to develop the story on which the script will be based. The untitled sequel will be co-financed by Paramount Pictures and eOne, with the former handling distribution. This is a slight pipeline change from the previous movie,...

Guillermo del Toro who – alongside Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan – conceived the story for this screen adaptation of the beloved spooky children’s books of the same name by Alvin Schwartz, has been eager to get this project seen by an equally youthful audience. Passed as a PG-13 in the Us, here in the UK the film has been classified a 15 but this does not harm a film that is mostly quite capable of satisfying older and younger horror fans alike. Less an anthology horror structure and more of a story in the vein of It, this film has the fingerprints of del Toro clearly visible on it and expresses the dark affection the film’s makers all have for the source material.

As the opening of the film mysteriously imparts, stories come in all shapes and sizes. Sharing scary stories with a group is a rich tradition that has been around for centuries, each generation passing down the one they heard from their childhood on to the next and so on and so on. There are hundreds of these stories, and Alvin Schwartz collected them and retold many in his three “Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark” books. The film adaptation of the same name, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, is a compilation of multiple characters from these tales, but like the book collections, the stories and characters are once again being retold. Between the three screenplay credits and two story by credits, the resulting story feels far less chilling and more obvious and predictable in a tale that isn’t short on creepy visuals but lacking originality.
It’s 1968 in America.

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live,” a wise woman once said. And sometimes, we tell others stories to scare the living shit out of them. Like that one about the kid who keeps beating on a scarecrow in a cornfield — until one night, the scarecrow decides to beat back. Or the urban legend about the girl who found a pimple, only it wasn’t exactly a pimple (think spiders and eggs). Or the yarn about the Jangling Man, who … well, maybe you shouldn’t ask about him. Some stories are best left untold.

According to Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark‘s narration, some stories hurt. Some stories heal. In the case of André Øvredal’s bone-chilling anthology adaptation, some stories scare the ever-loving life out of audiences. Yes, Alvin Schwartz’s terrifying anecdotes angle towards children – but, like Stephen Gammell’s illustrations, Øvredal treats his intended audience as horror fans.
It’s *healthy* to feel scared, and this summer’s Guillermo del Toro-produced “introductory” horror tale is anything but 101-basic. No pandering to “age-appropriateness,” aka watered down kiddie content. As Schwartz’s stories come alive, nightmares suck the air from your lungs. Stick to Goosebumps if your family haunts easily – these scary stories aren’t for the faint of heart.
In the year 1968, amidst Mill Valley’s Halloween celebrations, a curse is unleashed. Stella Nicholls (Zoe Margaret Colletti) and her friends heed not local warnings about deceased legend Sarah Bellows,...

Stories have power. For nearly 40 years, the children’s book series by Alvin Schwartz and illustrator Stephen Gammell has captured the hearts and nightmares of children everywhere. The unnerving artwork and stories within weren’t afraid to get dark, and they didn’t dumb down the horror for its young readers. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has distilled the books down to its core essence to spin a spooky tale for a new generation of budding horror fans, while still offering up enough nostalgia for the fans who grew up on the series.
Set in 1968, Stella (Zoe Colletti) is a social outcast. Being a horror-obsessed aspiring writer would be enough to deem her unfit for the popular crowd as it is, but her mother left her and her father, Roy (Dean Norris), stirring up the town rumor mill in the process. The only friends she has are Auggie...

For the better part of a decade, The Conjuring films have convinced a new generation that the ‘70s were the spookiest period of the 20th century. But with the arrival of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a strong case is being made for the era before that—back when Nixon was first elected to the White House and the most nightmarish thing might’ve been how so few seemed to mind sending their youth to die by the thousands in Southeast Asia.
Leaning heavily into its 1968 setting, Scary Stories coyly dips its toe into a nostalgic stew of simpler times while also implicitly embracing the true horror of that America in a way even Quentin Tarantino turns a blind eye to. And in doing so,...

‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Review: A Clever but Confused Adaptation of the Ya Horror Series
The late American writer and folklorist Alvin Schwartz tapped into the minds of young readers and traumatized generations of eager children by telling otherwise PG-13 horror tales with a transgressive, R-rated glee that made kids feel like they had read something they weren’t supposed to. There’s hardly a millennial in the United States who wasn’t happily scarred by the three volumes of Schwartz’s “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” series, and couldn’t describe Stephen Gammell’s rotting illustrations to their therapist in all of their red and blue detail.
André Øverdal’s film adaptation, as clever and well-crafted as it is, can’t help but invert the formula that the source material relied upon for its success. Here is an R-rated concept that’s been watered down until it passed for a PG-13 movie; it’s plenty harrowing and full of gruesome effects, but it never feels dangerous.

In the opening moments of director André Øvredal’s “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” a child’s voice tells us that stories have the power to hurt or heal. They make us who we are. True to its word, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” delivers an entrancing thriller that explores the power of narratives with a few screams to boot.
It’s welcoming enough for teens and perhaps just creepy enough for the average grown-up horror movie fan, since producer and co-writer Guillermo del Toro is one of the filmmakers bringing the monsters from Alvin Schwartz’s original novels to the big screen.
Like a late-’60s send-up of “Stranger Things” (itself a reference to other horror-movie inspirations from the ’80s), “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” follows a close group of friends, all outsiders, as their paths cross with a nefarious, supernatural presence. The...

Lana del Rey covers Donovan's "Season of the Witch" to herald Guillermo del Toro's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Some lullabyes aren't meant to help you fall asleep. Lana Del Rey is casting a spell for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The Grammy-nominated "Born to Die" singer covered Donovan’s 1966 hit “Season of the Witch” for the horror anthology film. The song will debut on August 9 to coincide with the movie, but a portion of the song is featured in the new trailer.

Earlier this week we were treated to a second wonderfully creepy trailer for producer Guillermo del Toro and director André Øvredal‘s film adaptation of the horror book series, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.
I’ve liked what I’ve seen from this movie so far. It looks like it does a fantastic job honoring the stories and creepy-ass art style of the books. Those books are disturbing as hell! If you’ve read the stories, then you know what I’m talking about. I love those books, though. I grew up with them. Those books were my gateway drug to the dark and twisted and led me down the path of finding more stories like them.
Del Toro and Øvredal recently showed off some clips from the film and talked about it during a Q&A panel. During that presentation they explained that the movie is an “Amblin-esque” family horror film.

"What if what happens in the book is exactly what's happened for real."

The film is actually directed by Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal, and it's also co-written by del Toro.

This trailer has some seriously creepy shots and intense jump scares, so watch out. But damn does it look good - Øvredal seems to be the perfect director for this, bringing out big scares.

CBS Films, Lionsgate and eOne has released a brand new trailer for Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. I can’t wait for this one!

It’s a smart technique and really the only way this movie would work since these monsters are so goofy-looking (think Where the Wild Things Are crossed with Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth) that lingering on them would dilute the substantial tension that’s generated.
