[Reign in Blood]

Ended up seeing Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. A pretty simple flick that was quite nicely done. Could've done without the tidbits of invoked racism, though. The scarecrow death was badass, and the "Me Tie Dough-ty Walker" monster was awesome.

Would recommend giving it a go.

Is it horror or for kids?

It's definitely horror. It could be something kids could enjoy. I saw a kid about nine or ten in the theater.

Trailer in the UK made it look a bit like a goosebumps film to me. Hence the question. Not worth my time u feel.

IT chapter two though, very tempted to find a double bill. Looks epic. Trailer is great. The “I’ve craved you . . . I missed you” line is epic.

OK. I thought you were gauging to see if it would be suitable for the kiddos. Not sure where you draw the line with them in regards to horror.

Zero horror until they can go to bed by themselves without being scared.

If only you started out by scaring them everytime they went to bed.

how would scary stories be enjoyable to kids? is it cause of levity and such, or cause they pull their punches, so to speak? is it more comedy than horror or what?

It's definitely more horror than comedy. But the lead actors are like 15 year old kids. Some of the kills are unique and kinda brutal, though.

Kids can't enjoy all out horror?

i'm picturing something like night of the demons or return of the living dead without the nudity. would that be accurate at all?

No. lol. Seb's Goosebumps thing was a little more accurate. These kids find a book in the house where a girl died. When they take the book, it begins writing stories and the scenes play out as the book is being written. Almost like an anthology horror. It's one plot, but each story randomly writes about different characters and kills them off.

Okay, Scary Stories (SS) is similar to the Goosebumps movie, but I feel that SS is more akin to Are you Afraid of the Dark in the tone of things. It's not campy/tongue in cheek like the Goosebumps show, as SS has more violent and gross out scenes throughout. It builds a good bit of suspense especially during the Red Room segment. It's a good introductory/stepping stone for a average horror fan/teen that wants to delve deeper into the genre.

He probably wasn't. I've only read the books and saw a few episodes of the TV show. Never saw the movies, which is probably what he was talking about.

i guess i'll have to see it for myself, whenever, to see if it hits me the way it seems to have hit you. but that doesn't help seb out.

It's mostly just worth a watch. I didn't love it or anything. It was better than I expected, though.
