Looks like audiences have more scares to look forward to.
The Big Picture It’s been a few years since audiences were terrified by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and it looks like not all hope is lost for its long-awaited sequel. In a recent interview with IGN, director André Øvredal gave an update on a potential follow-up, promising that a script has already been in the works. "We have a story. We have a script. We've been working on the script as late as last year and even slightly into this year.
Following the success of the first film, alongside an ending that teases that there are still loose ends that need to be tied up, it comes as no surprise that a sequel would eventually be in development. Momentum for a follow-up has been previously teased by the creatives behind the film, with screenwriters Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman remaining committed to the project stating they've been actively developing it alongside Øvredal.
It remains unknown how far into development the sequel is, and with the writer’s strike continuing until studios agree to pay fair wages, it may still be a while before audiences get to experience some additional scary stories from the franchise.
What Will the ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Sequel Be About? Based on the classic series of books of the same name by Alvin Schwartz, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark centers on a group of unsuspecting teens who encounter the book of Sarah Bellows, which unleashes untold horrors into their lives. While the film eventually resolved its conflict with the spirit of Sarah, the story still left more to be explored, with several key characters still missing in an unknown realm.
With the film still in early development, no official release date for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2 has been revealed yet. Check out the official trailer for the first film below.
