While Guillermo del Toro is developing a feature film based on Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, an independent documentary about Alvin Schwartz’s classic and controversial books is currently in the works.

You may recall hearing about Scary Stories: A Documentary when I shared news of its crowdfunding attempt last year. It didn’t meet the goal, but the campaign raised enough to continue production.

Director Cody Meirick has now launched a new Indiegogo in order to complete the remaining production. They’re aiming to raise $39,000, with perks including shirts, posters (featuring Matthew Therrien’s artwork above) and more.
