His artwork is like a splinter in my mind... a splinter I truly and greatly cherish.

Holy crap, did you know they made a movie about this a few years ago? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scary_Stories_to_Tell_in_the_Dark_(film)

Thanks for the memory haha, I remember reading these in school as a kid. Gonna have to find the whole series!

The movie was okay. Thought they nailed the aesthetic but didn't quite catch the vibe.

Yeah, I just watched it. As a fan of the books when I was a kid it was definitely creepy at times, but I kinda feel the same. Maybe it would have been a lot better if it was an anthology of dedicated stories being told around a campfire, or something like that.

Man, those books really did a number on me as a kid.
