‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Sequel in the Works – Hollywood Reporter

Much of the creative team is returning, with Andr vredal again set to direct and Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman once again writing the script.

Guillmermo del Toro wrote the screen story.

Scary Stories was made by eOne and CBS Films, but the latter division ceased operation when CBS merged with Paramount parent Viacom. Paramount, sensing more scares and blood could be culled from the tomes, decided to move on its inherited property.

The 2019 pic adapted the short story collections by Alvin Schwartz. It only featured a handful of those stories, and with Schwartzs three collections, each containing 25 to 29 tales, there will be plenty from which to choose.

Logline details are being kept under the covers.

The Hagemans worked on The Lego Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie and also worked with del Toro on the filmmakers animated Netflix seriesTrollhunters: Tales of Arcadia. The duo recently signed on to adapt the 1980s video game Dragons Lair for Ryan Reynolds and Netflix.

vredal broke through with his 2011 Norwegian found-footage monster movie Trollhunter (no relation) and also directed the supernatural horror thrillerThe Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) starring Emile Hirsch.

vredal is repped by WME, Industry Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson. The Hagemans are repped by Underground and Hansen Jacobson.
