Scary Stories

In the 1980s and '90s in elementary libraries across the U.S. a book series developed a growing interest from boys and girls who were taken in by gothic tales, a whimsical tone, and ghostly illustrations. Selling over 7 million copies, the Scary Stories book series has become a symbol for what children often desire: horror. And it has become a symbol of censorship, becoming one of the most challenged children’s books of the last 30 years. Follow R.L. Stine, Peter Schwartz, and many others as you find out the true story behind Scary Stories. (Indy Film Fest)
