NOOOOOOOOO! D:This is by far the worst news in the history of news. http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2011/12/18/scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark-gammell-vs-helquist/
bad news guys
a whole generation of kids aren’t gonna be as scared shitless as they should be
i’m completely serious i love scary stories to tell in the dark hella hard
I wouldn’t hide that shit behind my bookcase like I did the original series
thats FUCKIN BULLSHIT
You know why we get this shit?
Because of today’s parents.
Molly-coddling their little drool monkeys and trying to shield them from anything that isn’t sunshine and sprinkles.
Making them wear helmets for everything but taking a shit…changing old prayers to sound “more positive” (as in, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, ANGELS WATCH ME THROUGH THE NIGHT AND WAKE ME WITH THE MORNING LIGHT”). Yes, I don’t care much for religion, but you don’t go fucking pussifying an old prayer because OMG IT’S TOO SCARY TO SUGGEST SOMEONE COULD DIE IN THEIR SLEEP.
Seriously - future generations are completely fucked.
Gammel’s artwork is what literally MADE the books. Those images are literally iconic now. Changing them is akin to burning them.
These images made me unable to sleep for a majority of my fifth grade year at school and I DEMAND THE SAME HAPPEN TO OTHER CHILDREN. I too am serious, this is so freaking stupid. I have the originals. If I ever have kids, I’m giving them the fucked up ones.
Dude. Dude. What.
Yes, the new artist is extremely talented but NO. YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE ART. THESE BOOKS NEED TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF EVERY CHILD EVER.
