Remember Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? Remember those super-creepy urban legends, and the even-creepier artwork? Remember how you tried and tried to get those images out of your head, but found that the more you tried to forget them, the deeper they burrowed into your brain?

Well, they're back, this time in the form of a Guillermo del Toro-produced movie. We'd say nothing could compare to Stephen Gammell's classic illustrations, but damn, some of this imagery sure seems to be trying.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark opens August 9.
