Poster: Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark


A version of the iconic Stephen Gammell scarecrow is now a part of the film poster to the upcoming film.

I don't normally say stuff like this, but I wish I got the call for this.

and was that an opening in the original artwork? A hole?
I always thought it was the scarecrow's stomach.

Looks like a stomach to me.

And you would of made an EXCELLENT scarecrow for a movie like this.

I saw a teaser for the movie during the game last night. I must say it was the highlight of the game. Rot you really should make a scarecrow and send distressed, blood spattered photos of it in a small brown box to the director. That would get his attention.

Agree with JS and SGC....
Would love to see your take on this.

Yep, you definitely should have gotten the phone call here. :)

I feel like this poster is a bit of a miss on multiple levels, but that interpretation of 'Harold' is the most egregious element by far.

It's a pretty poor take on the original artwork in specific, which, in my estimation, was already a less than stellar representation of the Stephen Gammell aesthetic in general.

The little snippets in the various mini-trailers are a bit more encouraging. Fingers crossed....

Hmmm...

Really looking forward to this but I too am puzzled by the design of Harold. Scarecrow looks good and all, but not exactly faithful to the original design.
