Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark - Nostalgia Critic

what are you going to see what are you going to see what is it hello I'm the

critic

of

nostalgia

I remember it so you don't have to

critic

ize this is strange yes, why the hell are we doing this fools, you don't know, today we are discussing fear? Stories to

tell

in the

dark

, yes, but the only way to talk about

scary

stories

is to gather around a campfire and read them in the spookiest way possible, talking about what your campfires were, we're in, psycho, we're just making flashlights . yeah, what the hell are you burning? Oh, you know, something safe and controlled.

Now let's start with this or what we are waiting for. You are the one who has the book. In fact, here is the entire collection of

scary

stories

. Here we go, our story. takes place decades ago when a group of geeky guys and a girl are being picked on by bullies wait, isn't that Stephen King itch? Yeah, that's weird, how did that get there? Ah, here we go, the boy trembled in agony as a voice continued. screaming where is my toe where is my toe then the book started writing itself and the geeky kid was shocked to find out that it was all happening in real life wait, that never ending story what the hell is happening other random stories are working on what doesn't belong, just keep going, maybe you'll get back on track.

Oh yeah, here we go. The pale woman had black eyes and was getting closer and closer, then the geeky kid said that if they want to break the curse to stop the stories from coming to life, they have to. Take on the macabre CGI entity, buddy, that's Goosebumps, no, it's a different book series, I mean Goosebumps the movie, that's the script for Goosebumps the movie, buddy, how Does that fit there? Just skip to the end. Does it close like a book of scary stories or not? it doesn't end, it just says percy jackson sequel style bullying, so you were scared when you were younger.

These aren't scary stories, I mean, sometimes they are, but mostly it's just a weak retread of other stories. How is this? Thanks to me, Guillermo del Toro. the teacher of teachers, will you join our spooky bonfire too? No, that's how I talk to everyone online Del Toro, you're a talented filmmaker, how did you fail with this? Well, I plan to direct a film version of scary stories to

tell

. in the

dark

, of course, I'm sure it's going to be a masterpiece, but then I decided no, well, play, I wouldn't have matched your brilliance, but I still wrote it and produced it.

An inspired choice. I will kill whoever you want me to kill. Wow, every time I leave a project. the people in charge know how to capture my original intention, I don't care? I'm working on another 50 things with movies like this being shown based on the hit collection of spooky folklore that was actually banned in some schools. Telling in the Dark left a gigantic impression on countless children, from the classic stories passed down from generation to generation to those spooky illustrations that are masterpieces in their own right. They are as memorable and timeless now as they were when they were released in the '80s and '90s, so like many, I was very excited to hear that a movie was being made about them in the hopes that it would be a movie for legitimately scary kids like the ones we used to see in the 80's and possibly a horror or trick or tale show for a new generation. from the dark side, but while the first part came true being so intense that it earned a page 13 rating, the scary story was unfortunately not an anthology film, it only introduced elements from the books and focused on a completely different, I guess we've seen. properties try a different angle, even self-aware, before and achieve great success, but where I will always remember Miles Morales or Arthur Fleck, I will not remember, I have already forgotten their names, but with decent critical reactions, reactions of the audience and even a sequel.

Along the way, should we be content with an okay movie that contains some great scenes or should we be angry because we could have gotten one of the great game-changing horror movies, especially for younger people? I just don't know del Toro, what should we think? I think you should love whoever you want and eat worms for protein. You're crazy. Oh yeah, I didn't see you turn on a light. What lights up your office. My glowing personality, yeah, okay. They are scary stories to tell in the dark. which won't be the case for a while, the movie begins with narration that sounds like that kid who tried too hard in your creative writing class.

Stories hurt, they make us who we are, they have such power, I learned this and what is the cause of eating. monster cows amy sees me after class we start in 1968 and to answer your question, I'm not entirely sure why it's great at first since it has a faded but also vibrant color palette that a lot of 60's movies had and 70. but it's still a modern horror so you know green and green and green and oh red no no about going back to green when did this become a scary color? black brown blue like I said even red but green is more of a relaxing color often associated with safety.

Not even like a sickly green like in Boys or Fight Club, it's like the leaf green of a tree. I guess you could argue that this movie is playing with the idea of ​​taking a safe color and making it threatening, you know, altering your expectations by creating a false sensation. security, but now I don't think this movie is smart enough for that anyway, you're introduced to our main character, Stella, played by Zoe Margaret Coletti, who was a hipster before hipsters existed. I don't want to go trick-or-treating. get all the eggs and teepees you can and meet us at seven, you can tell he's a geek because he blows into aquarium nuts, that cliche, this is chuck played by austin cajure and auggie played by gabriel rush, they're the club Losers without laughter.

At least I'm not a clown, I'm a pure clown, thank you for that pause. You can let the laughter fill the theater even if it's in those same toxic chemicals that are giving our troops Hodgkin's lymphoma and you ate them all. Is that it? Why? do they taste so good? Am I supposed to like them? Because so far the only thing the movie is doing right is making me want to see them horribly murdered. However, I will give this movie some leeway. If it's a scary prequel, it won't show what it doesn't. We will also show you accessories.

This is a very sweet revenge against a bully by putting it in his candy bag knowing that he will steal it. Hey this is great, it's nice to see the little guy finally get some revenge. Throwing eggs of Jesus Christ setting people on fire. It's halloween charlie brown I'm going to murder them first take my anger out on the street okay let's go while we're at the drive in public domain a boy named ramon played by michael garza luckily he doesn't lock his car this is taking him uh i Don't guess , No, thanks to God. Hey, get out of my car.

My fetish of banking Daria as a witch is finally coming true and you're going to block me. The bullies find them, although I'm still looking for revenge. I don't think you've heard it. Yo, everyone needs to get out too, let us purge you, you're not going to try and run away like mom now or yourself, yeah, this bully is a little weird in most movies, they're one-dimensional 30 year old guys who scream at the top . from his lungs but this one mutters whispers for some reason come on girl eat harold this isn't over how about dessert oh we found a way out his whole performance is cameron's voice when bueller saves him everyone needs to go out paris bueller you next time there won't be a pasty middle-aged guy to save you.

His mother left when she was a child. People wouldn't stop talking about it, yeah, and us. Now you're like her only friends, so, as you can imagine, she's pretty miserable. Oh, don't worry, they get more annoying as the movie continues. Can I see your knife? Did I say you had a knife? No, I guess not. He has one. change, remember how I said Corey Feldman sounded like a revved-up Stallone in Lost Boys, does your brother know who that vampire is? Hey, relax buddy, this kid sounds like a revved-up Corey Feldman, does your brother know who that vampire is?

So, what are you doing? only at a drive-in then you'll have to kill him you're not from here you scientists tell me that the space in my nasal cavity is so dense that nothing can escape from it? Do you want to see a haunted house so outside? out of nowhere they decide to visit a haunted house, I mean yeah I know it's Halloween but they don't even mention this place until they decide to go there someone has a pen. Meet Lola, she is madly in love with me, yes, your hand maybe. hey, don't talk like that about women named lola oh, that lola definitely picks the lock and they sneak inside the bellows she had a secret a daughter no one has ever found a photo sarah i had better hope there was a movie based on the best ghost stories ever told Mrs.

Briggs was driving to the mall to do something, not just joke about last-minute Christmas shopping when kids would accidentally come from all over. Sarah told them scary stories, stories to tell along the lines the legend says if you find the cerebellum. book and ask it to tell you a story, it will be the last story you hear, so they find the book and leave it alone, no, you know, the piercing cerebellums tell me a story because the one we're in is pretty boring so far. They leave the house and discover that the bullies have broken into Ramon's car because I guess they knew they would be in that house huh, I wonder what that means, I guess it's a good thing I didn't know what it means, it's good to have it in my search history I can try to find something to help Stella invites Ramon to her house to help her with her car and naturally they hit it off, you know, if you really want to be a writer, you can't do it here.

I have to move to the city, everyone knows King wrote his best work in Manhattan, he puts it in everything, I never thought I'd say this, but if that haunted book has nothing to do with Bette Midler, I'm not interested, she starts to read a story called Harold, because we're a third of us, maybe we should acknowledge the source material and thank goodness it does because when it references the books it's pretty incredible, not only does it look exactly like Stephen Gamel's illustrations, it captures the tone slow and eerie. The books they were known for give him credit and also get rid of the bully early on, so we don't have to put up with him for the rest of the movie.

I'm just a nasty, pushy kid alone in a horror movie. Anyone who takes everything from the shots to the pacing and even how he moves is wonderfully creepy. If I were a child, this would give me the nightmares I would want. Something like Are you afraid of the dark? or I would get goosebumps and I know those shows were good. for what they were, but they were never scary, this is really scary and without blood or gore it's what I always wanted to see in a scary property for children, oh I know it sounds suspicious but you look very delicious if only I had your brains, The bully starts to get stronger and as you can imagine, there's a new herald in town, that's what Tommy was wearing last night.

Okay, what if this is Tommy and what happens in the book is exactly what really happened? Just a scarecrow but it sounds like henry kissinger sucking helium that's totally tommy wait so you think kids should watch something that scary I mean not like little kids but I mean if something is rated pg which means it parents have to be present while watching it, so yeah, get away with it. as much as you can, if the kid can't handle it, they'll know what they can handle, yes, but this is page 13, even better, we know the younger kids sneak in anyway, at least we're giving them the scares that they are looking for.

Well yes, but what if I agree too? I just sent you a prize in the mail for saying oh, thank you. I needed something to balance my coffee table. Stella returns the book to the house but it somehow returns to her. Where did you get it from? It was here on your shelf, what do you think this babadook is? The book has such a good story that it writes itself and apparently Auggie is the next victim. Mother was glued to the edge of the garden because the story is writing itself right now. I don't know how scared she was, it was a voice and she screamed who took my toe.

Two forgettable children who were insured were afraid. Hey, she's checking herself too much. Auggie accidentally eats a big toe in her soup and once again a creepy woman straight out of the illustrations appears. looking it up, it technically combines some stories from the books, but it's honestly so effective that I don't think it really matters, it's still creepy, oh if only I had a chair to lean against the door and as boring as that fake scare was. Previously, this scene actually does a very good job of tricking you intoknow where the real scare will happen. There are several points where most horror films would make their reveal, but they cleverly delay it.

I really give credit for the extra effort that went into this movie. be in the scares kiss me like I'm someone who wants to kiss you and as if this year hasn't been gloomy enough we already have a disappearance on our hands friends quite idiot mark hamill for making his joker voice announcing a disappearance stella asked to meet with ramon Chuck and his sister I'm sorry I'm late Ruth ran out of zip paint but it was so urgent that you didn't miss it when she wasn't on screen all those scary creatures and creepy atmosphere that needed more chalk, imagine her angelic voice during those scenes she ordered The chicken This isn't about candy It's about revenge Meet Lola She's madly in love with me Aren't you too ugly to date At least I'm not a clown Free the hunt for Chuck? wait, I always wanted to try this in Soviet Russia, you don't read the book, the book tells you, gravity falls was right, they head to the archives of the local newspaper to see if they can find more information about cerebellums later. sarah se hanged the bellows family fired sylvie because it was thought that she and her daughter lulu were responsible for teaching him black magic if it's in the newspaper it has to be true, right, this guy randolph hearst wouldn't lie, right?, they discovered that something interesting told him happened. bellows after she hanged herself in just one year all her family members left, but not only did they leave the city, the city left them, we finished it, each one has a story, the book begins to write again about a stain red and they realized that Chuck just spilled a smear of ketchup on himself I'm going to die I don't want to die spider crawled up the young girl's cheek and wait bitter young lady well there goes my coming out party thank you book oh honey you got it Of course, talking about his sister, she had a spider bite on her cheek that, like in the book, turns out to be a nest of eggs.

I admit I'm not really afraid of spiders so I'm not really sure if this scene is that scary I think Tamar is though hey tamara is this scene scary okay the scene works oh that means she doesn't want new protein worms oh Oh my god oh come on just imagine they are smaller versions of your brother oh christ that's even scarier, they took her to a hospital so they tried to find one of the servants who used to work in the bellows house. I had this messy dream again. What do you mean again? It's the first time you mention it.

I was stuck in the red room, why do you say the red room like we've heard about this before? That pale fat lady keeps whispering that this is an evil place, why are you mentioning this now that we just rang the doorbell? Hi, it sounds like you're having a conversation about the red room, everyone knows that story, it's not worth repeating, but I'm sure you've organically repeated it several times. God, that was bad writing, cheater, idiot, that's not a name for a president. Now grabbing Cheeto, that's a title. I want to see Lulu. Can you hear? we oprah never recover from wrinkles in time there is no magical child there is only rage you shouldn't have taken the book we didn't take the book the book took us seriously they told them that sarah hanged herself in the hospital and not the house, so What are we still doing here?

Come on, wow, I wanted to go there so fast that she literally disappeared at the word. So what are we still doing here? They come across a recording of cerebellums and apparently the doctors try to force a confession out of her, I didn't do it, it's nice to hear the original audio back to oz, another story begins to be written and that incredibly well-built red room comes to life and a pale woman with black eyes walks towards chuck man, you stopped paying attention. Björk for a few years and this is the return she plans. The funny thing is that I never found that image particularly creepy, if anything I always thought she looked funny, but in my opinion, she is the scariest part of this movie, no matter where Chuck is. wow, she's all over the hallways and plus she's the same distance away in each one so no matter where you turn she just keeps getting closer and closer it's fucking scary no come on it's not like he's really I would have left the womb anyway, chuck chuck your porn. pen, oh it's still sticky, the car sneaks by the police and stella calls her father played by dean norris from the police station.

I can not do anything about it. No, no, you have to help me here, sweet, once Breaking Bad ended, my roles have been. I'm getting smaller and smaller, I mean, Jesus, they're wasting me on this movie. I'm on screen for two minutes and I'm clearly giving the best performance. It's not your fault, Stella, it's not your fault. Please listen to me. I have to go. It is not. your fault stella please no sorry i wasn't here give me your hand movie give me your hand that's for not using it anymore it's revealed that ramon is actually a draft evader and the police try to force him to tell where chuck and the others, You're not going in there, maybe a night behind bars will loosen those lips of yours.

Stay in this cell with this pretty girl who will teach you. Oh, they are in different cells, yes, there are still things that can. Two months ago they sent my brother back from Vietnam with parts, yes, it was very bold of him to mail them to us. They didn't even put fragile in the box. Richard Nixon is still 43 and Humphrey is 35. So you know scary stories. vietnam nixon just as the books intended, the book once again begins to write a story and unfortunately this is the only section taken from the original that is a bit silly, the tinkling man, it is also combined with another story that again does not It's a big deal like the rest.

There were combinations too, but this guy looks less like a ghost from scary stories and more like a character from Beetlejuice, is that me? That ball sucking effect in the books, you never see what it looks like and although it's cool to see this really talented contortionist perform it. and the first thing it does is yes, we go from slow moving, often silent, eerily building chills to a fast, loud, blood hungry animal that moves more like a velociraptor than a disturbing presence approaching, it just doesn't match the others scares. in the movie that will stay with me where is my toe? this is an evil place coward coward oil idiot nixon's gozer sorry what are we doing?

They drive to the house with the jingle man chasing them because yes, the T-1000 car chase is exactly what I want. to see in scary stories and try to appease the spirit of the cerebellums oh great, we're in that Winchester movie. Do all horror movies have to lie and say they're based on a true story? Now you can't hide from us. She sees. Cerebellos was the victim of an abusive family and Stella tells him that by attacking others he is turning into a monster. Yes, we are just stealing from Paranorman. Now you took my friends, two of the people I love the most, one and a half, okay? like half of everyone that's what one does actually I can't do myself a favor this is up to you sarah it's all up to you bellows is revealed to be in harrison a wig and stella says that if she lets them live she will tell the world the true story about how she was a victim sarah bellows was innocent she knew the truth okay the professionals can use the job but it's still better than dean coons after that rather disappointing climax the two let each other go stella tells her story and ramon is going to vietnam and they like to fight with me every day, yes, not only do they send him to war, but all the killed characters do not return.

Stella says that she is convinced that there is some way in the book to find them and they reveal that the sister is fine. That's supposed to be some kind of big shock: the person who wasn't dead isn't dead. That's like the sixth sense if nothing happened to Bruce Willis. Chuck and Auggie are still gone, but I know there's a way to bring them back. Okay, we're okay and the secret is in the book. Did you see the creepy faces they made at you? You don't need that in your life and we won't stop until we find them.

Wasn't it Bellow who wrote it? book to start you're on good terms with her now aren't you? in fact you're moving away from where she is you're literally creating distance between you and the problem it's like saying look that house is burning better throw water at the fire station this doesn't make sense, but you know, nixon, damn nixon, they are scary stories tell you what this was, damn, as a fan of scary stories this movie is so frustrating, it's horrible, not even close, but a lot of it is very standard or disappointing and I feel that a series as great as the stories of Fear deserves better, but on the other hand, when it decides to be a scary story movie, it does it well, pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in a horror movie.

For younger people, I always talk about how a lot of kids have too many means to spoil themselves, but jeez, this one doesn't warn you that it's scary and delivers the goods in a way that's not gory, but still scary. I don't know, it's like the first Batman movie you got was Batman forever, it would probably be fine if it didn't have another Batman movie to compare it to, but you're still aware that you could have gotten the Dark Knight. I guess I recommend it for the good times and even the bad times aren't terrible, they just feel like a lot of missed opportunities.

It's not the masterpiece that scary stories deserve, but it has enough nightmare fuel to keep you awake at night. Don't worry, I'll fix all these problems when I direct the sequel, it's a passion project that I've wanted to do for years, I didn't think twice about it, I'm bored, wait, I got it, which is true, I'm crazy, well. thanks reviewer, these weren't the campfire stories I was expecting but it was memorable yeah I guess that pretty much sums up the movie too huh you'll be fine reviewer oh yeah I mean I'm really a fan of campfire stories Scared, but I guess I can.

Be thankful for the scary moments we had. No, I mean you're at home and it must be covered in flames. Is it possible for a ceiling to look like a sheet on fire? yeah, so I guess I'm fine, I'm a

nostalgia

critic, I remember him so you don't have to, this is 20 20. Come on, you know you want to do one more, but October will end, he'll live in the past, that's literally his job, you are literally their job. one more, no, it would be strange, hey, doug walker, here doing the charity salute. Once again, someone asked if we could do a shoutout for a particular charity and we looked into it and this seemed like a really cool idea.

He called a team that makes a difference and this is a new non-profit organization that was established to help people in need by renovating their dream room. You grant someone in need a place of serenity to rest comfortably, heal and restore hope. When their body and spirit has been healed, your wishes have inspired them to one day help someone more in need. This space is considered their special place within their home, where they can spend most of their time. They want to create an atmosphere that is accessible to their needs and also be the one that is uplifting, beautiful and unique to the individual, so this is a really great idea.

I think it's such a beautiful thing to do and of course you can donate to the cause but you can also. go to the site and you will be able to recommend people who you think deserve this. It's usually within your community so go ahead and search and see where it is but I really thought it was a good idea and I just want to get some attention and likewise if you have a charity that you think really deserves more attention, don't be afraid to write to us. I mean, we look them up and make sure they're legit and everything.

So yeah, if you have one you really want, let me know, I can't guarantee you'll get thousands of dollars or something, sometimes it's 30 bucks, sometimes it's 3000, who knows. I mean, you never really know, so go ahead and submit. It's our way and we will do everything we can to get attention, but for now look at this. It's a really cool idea, it has wonderful people behind it, so go ahead and check it out. Thank you so much.
