Screenwriter John August on SCARY STORIES Feature Film

An update on the long in development feature film version of children’s horror classic.

Remember SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, Alvin Schwartz’s horrifying children’s books with illustrations by Stephen Gammell designed to shave at least three years off your childhood?

Of course you do.

And remember when Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the scribblers behind the SAW films, were prepping the long in gestation film version?

So do we.

But that was then. What about now?

Crave’s William Bibbiani caught up with BIG FISH screenwriter John August, who is the new pen attached to the impending picture, during a Writer’s Guild of America Q&A and the writer had this to say:

“I am still working on it, yeah. As a screenwriter I have no fortunetelling ability to know whether the movie is going to [go into production] or if the movie is going to be good, but I can say that I’m really excited with what we’ve been able to do so far and if we are able to make the movie I kind of hope we’ll be able to make, it’s going to be something great, and a very unique movie that we haven’t seen before.”

But August had so much more to reveal about the subject.
