The “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” Poster and Trailer are Here!

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark poster and trailer are here!

From the dark imaginations of Academy Award®-winner Guillermo del Toro and acclaimed director André Øvredal, based on the iconic book series, comes Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark — in theaters this summer.

It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.

Neal Adams, Howard Chaykin, Ken Meyer, Jr. and More!

If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s monthly column Ink Stains.  Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts… well, let’s let Ken explain…

I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!

The top piece of art is a Neal Adams pencil sketch that appeared as a front piece for the fanzine Infinity #6.  Below is an unused Howard Chaykin cover for Scorpion!  Infinity #6 also featured a Jeff Jones cover, art by Tim Connrad, Clyde Caldwell, and much more. (Ink Stains #101).

As always, thanks to Ken for bringing back great memories of fandom!
