Fans of the spine-chilling cinematic adaptation, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” can rejoice as director André Øvredal has confirmed that the long-awaited sequel is still very much in the works. Teaming up once again with producer Guillermo del Toro, the talented duo is set to deliver another thrilling installment to Alvin Schwartz’s iconic book series. Despite a delay caused by the writers’ strike and Øvredal’s other projects, the team remains dedicated to bringing the chilling world of Schwartz’s stories back to the big screen.

A Steadfast Progress:

It has been nearly three and a half years since the sequel’s announcement, leaving fans eagerly anticipating any updates on the project. In a recent interview with IGN, director André Øvredal assured fans that progress has been made, stating, “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. The process obviously stopped with the strike – but it’s alive, for sure.” The unwavering commitment of the team behind the sequel assures audiences that the fears of cancellation can be put to rest.

Overcoming Challenges:

Despite facing challenges such as the writers’ strike and Øvredal’s involvement in his upcoming Dracula movie, “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” the production team has remained steadfast in their dedication to the “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” franchise. As they await the resolution of the writers’ strike, they are poised to resume their creative efforts and continue crafting a tale that will chill audiences to the bone.

A Talented Team:

The first film’s writers, Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman, have been entrusted with penning the screenplay for the sequel, building on a story conceived by Guillermo del Toro himself. The first film was a resounding success, generating close to $106 million worldwide against a modest budget of $25 million. Garnering critical acclaim for its terrifying narrative and stellar performances, the movie left fans hungry for more from the eerie world of the Bellows family.

What to Expect:

While specific plot details remain closely guarded, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2” promises to draw inspiration from Alvin Schwartz’s timeless collection of chilling tales. The first film took audiences on a haunting journey to Mill Valley, where Sarah Bellows’ dark secrets came to life in terrifying stories written in a book with a sinister power. As the sequel unfolds, viewers can anticipate a new ensemble of characters embroiled in spine-tingling horrors beyond imagination.

The confirmation of “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2” has reignited excitement among fans of the original film and Schwartz’s legendary books. With director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro at the helm, audiences can expect a masterful continuation of the chilling saga. While awaiting the end of the writers’ strike, the team’s dedication to their craft and the enduring allure of Schwartz’s tales ensure a bone-chilling experience that will leave audiences clamoring for more. Horror enthusiasts and fans alike can eagerly anticipate the return of the iconic “Scary Stories” franchise to the silver screen.
