My Experience:
For me, this film filled me with nostalgia when I watched the stories brought to life. The team behind bringing them to the screen did an amazing job. The “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” series written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell were so well done that even though they scared the crap out of me, I would always pick up the books and get into them. When these stories were brought to life, I was freaked out by the amazing work that the film team created. When this film ended, I was brought to tears because I was filled with so much nostalgia and love for it.
About:

Once at the Bellows’ mansion, the group begins poking around trying to find any trace of the family. Stella finds a book that causes spooky things to happen.
