For Episode 002 of Horror Movie Weekly, the mysterious one, Lady Phantom, chose to review “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” (2019) by Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal, who also directed “Trollhunter” (2010) and “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” (2016). We would also note that “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” was co-written and produced by Guillermo del Toro. During this episode, you’ll hear the Triad of Terror — Jay of the Dead, BillChete and Lady Phantom — debate about the merits of a PG-13 Horror film that’s adapted from a short story series aimed at middle school-aged kids. We also discuss whether the characters in this film are audience surrogates for marginalized Horror fans at large (or not). Be sure to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments for this episode.
