I this going to be another rated-PG "2spooky" film like Goosebumps or are we talking R-rated "4spooky" The Conjuring?
I think it's more like a "Pacific Rim 2" and "Silent Hills."
NOT THE SPIDERS ONE
ANYTHING BUT THE SPIDERS ONE DEL TACO
PLS HAVE MERCY
PG-13 if it even gets made. El Gordo is not exactly successful at getting his memes off the ground these days.
>>64883795
Don't do that.
>>64883737
It'll be crowd funded, calling it now.
Is this going to be a vignettes thing?
>>64883737
>R rated movie based on a popular children's series
You fucking retarded?
>>64883795
I chuckled
>>64883737
anyone here genuinely liked goosebumps?
I thought it was a decent flick
ghost girl was cute but executed poorly and all actors that weren't JB were insufferable.
>>64883737
it will be shelved just like all this hack's projects
Has there ever been a filmmaker with so much unrealized potential? he should just quit already and do everyone a favor.
>>64884273
Orson Welles
Great illustrations in those books, but it's a dumb idea. Will never get made.
Damn I'm actually excited. Del taco has some nostalgic taste I like it
>>64883737
Since the books are just a collection of folk tales, the only thing you can really do to set it apart is doing an anthology movie and focus on creating visuals similar to the classic illustrations. Otherwise it'd be no different than all the other movies based on the same folk tales.
>>64884378
Trust in del taco
>the one about the woman in the closet
That fucking picture, there is no way this can be done for a movie without it being fucked up unless a master makes it.
>implying del taco can stick to projects
>>64884937
Del toro has a mastery of spookyness IMO
>>64884937
the scarecrow always made me shit myself
Has Del Toro ever finished a movie?
>>64883737
That book freaked the fuck out of me when I was a kid.
Please, Del Taco. You gotta do it right.
I'm actually pretty hype. The only thing the books had going for them were the visuals, and I'm confident Del Toro can nail them.

>>64883737
Del taco is always saying that he is working on something and everytime it ends on nothing.
What ever happened to his adaptation of Urasawa's Monster? Or Slaughterhouse 5?
Get it together, Del Toro
>>64886515
Or PT, or the Haunted Mansion (cannibalized), or At the Mountains of Madness.
THIS GUY HAS NEVER FINISHED A MOVIE
>>64885885
>>64886639
well that was quick
>Starring Brianna Wu
Hoping it'll be an anthology type thing.
He is the Mexican Tim Burton. He desperately needs a writer to make his movies watchable
>crowd funded
>it's an animated series of short's ala Creepshow
>Animation is the same style as the pictures in the book
WOuld you?
>>6488493
Spoopiest illustration imo
>>64888371
Sure, if it's spooky.
>>64883737
Love to see a well done Harold.
>>64883904
I fucking hope so.
>tfw it's got bizarre choppy animation and looks like a 1:1 recreation of Stephen Gammel's artwork straight from hell
I'd shit my pants. It'd be absolutely insane.
>its a cat kills my teacher and dad then me episode
>>64889677
Reminds me of that one abstract movie that uses clips from lost films to make a movie
>>64884378
This, the art is what truly makes these books so special
fucking G O A T book .. the nostalgia
THE WORMS GO IN
THE WORMS GO OUT
THE WORMS PLAY PINNACLE ON YOUR SNOUT
It'll be trash like everything else GDT does.
DON'T YOU EVER LAUGH WHEN A HEARSE GOES BY
>>64883795
PG-13 "3spooky" like Insidious.
So is anyone gonna storytime or?
>>64890232
>pinnacle
It's pinochle.

HOLY SHIT YES!
>>64883838
is that the one with the pimple that finally gets heated and a spider laid her eggs in her cheek and thousands of little white spiders run across her face
FUCK
SPOOKIEST PIC?
I AM THE VIPER
I VANTTO VASH YOUR VINDOWS
>expecting a movie based on children's books to be rated R
are you people retarded?
>>64891379
You obviously never read the books. Neck yourself.
>hard PG-13 adaptation
mitebgud
>wanting it to be R
You want them to add a bunch of gratuitous blood and gore or what? The stories are spooky because of what you don't see.
I would personally fund this if Del Taco can't get studio backing
I never even read these fucking books
the pics were 2spooky4me
>>64892149
>Harold flaying a person and stretching his skin across the roof
>The butchers grinding people into sausage
>The girl having a thousand spider explode from a hole in her face
That's just three I remember.
>>64892507
Still wouldn't be scary to actually see. The stories were effective because they left it to your imagination.
>>64892544
>The stories were effective because they left it to your imagination.
They had vivid illustrations though
>Del Taco owns two of Gammell's original illustrations
Jelly as fuck right now senpai
>>64884308
They remade the books with new illustrations, they look like tumblr shit now
>>64883737
>The Conjuring
>spooky in any way
>>64891379
>children's book
>>64892544
>>64893000
I'd say the illustrations were what made the stories so scary. For me anyway.
>>64893089
Holy shit what were they thinking? Hilariously bad. Any reasons they fucked with the original illustrations? The illustrations was a big part of the creepiness.
>>64885885
One of the best ones, I also like the wraith story, and the civil war soldier. It's going to be more like tales and the crypt meets alone in the dark. The prostetics will be good and over the top but the story simple and tamed.
>>64893587
Idk and got mad as fuck when I found about it
>>64893699
Links to new versions?

Fuck those pictures used to terrify me
The one story about the drum that those kids found in the woods fucked me up
>>64883737
Fuck, consider me excited. If he's actually directing it, I know it'll at the very very least be decent.
This is the Viper! I'm coming up!
>>64893959
Fucking disgusting. I saw the original books at Books a Million a couple of weeks ago, thinking of going back for them now.
>its an ant farm revenge episode
>>64885696
When and if he does they're usually great
trigger warning
>>64895486
Ugh god this still fucks with me
If anyone could do it, Del Toro could.
the thing is they were just generic retellings of common spooky stories. What made the books so great were the illustrations. IDK if you could ever capture that in any other medium.
>And a documentary

>that guy playing alvin swartz
yeesh! you'd think they'd be able to get a trained actor
>>64889985
Hey, if the films were lost how'd they make a movie using them?
>>64896162
I think you might be able to do a live action and make it hjust as creepy, but the atmosphere is really the most important part
Any of you read Short and Shivery? I'm trying to find good folklore videos on youtube
Room for one more.
>>64896903
who /nightmoves/ here?
>>64890590
yeah this illustration is the most spooky
>>64893699
the old ones aren't going anywhere aspie
Thup, Spider girl, Harold and eyeless bitch are the best.
>>64893959
>http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2011/12/18/scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark-gammell-vs-helquist/
jesus christ what a fucking shame that is .. absolute trash
>"What Do You Come For?" is the third story included in the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
>An old woman who lives by herself feels very lonely one night and says, "I wish I had some company." Two feet appear, dangling from the chimney. Then, a body and some arms and some legs, two eyes, and a head. They belong to a man, who then jumps down from the chimney and dances around the room The woman asks him, "What do you come for?" The man answers, "What do I come for? For YOU!"
What did he mean by this?
>>64895486
FUCK
It creeped me the fuck out now, it'd probably kill me as a kid.
the guy that drew these illustrations is a fucking B E A S T
>>64895486
I always thought this was one of the less spoopy illustrations.
>>64883737
Probably gonna be PG at most PG-13. The art in those books was spooky but most of the actual stories were relatively tame.
>>64885015
>This was the illustration for one of the comic relief stories.
Gammell is a madman.
>tfw I can't find scanalations of the books WITH the notes in the back, which were the best part
>tfw my ex stole kept my copies
>>64897884
It's mainly that the thought of spiders laying eggs inside my face and then hatching has haunted me my whole life
He'll be fine
holy fuck holy fuck
i remember my mom had these books in our library when i was younger. I would put it behind all the other books when i knew i was going to spend a few hours in there cause i couldnt even look at the font i was so scared of it
holy shit.
