'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' Gets Eerie Teaser Trailer - Watch Now!

A teaser trailer has been released for the upcoming horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

The new film is from the mind of visionary producer and Academy Award winner Guillermo Del Toro. The movie was directed by André Øvredal.

Here is the film’s synopsis: “It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.”

Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams, Dean Norris, Gil Bellows, Lorraine Toussaint, Austin Zajur, and Natalie Ganzhorn star in the movie, which hits theaters on August 9.
