What makes it creepy for me is that everybody looks like some sort of horrific tree monster.
WHERE IS MY TOOOEEEEE

Always towards the top of my list during those Scholastic book days.
The toy-based ones were always the most lucrative though (I recall a paper-airplane cut-out one being the bees knees for most)

Growing up collecting these, the illustrations in the books were just neat, never scary.
Damn that takes me back! the addiction was real!
Crazy that my Tupperware lunchbox was plastered with the likes of these
this one always reminds me of sam cassell.
OMG I am using this.

One of my all time favorite memories, is when my first grade teacher did The Dead Man's Brains story from book, during the week of Halloween.
Always love the books since than.

My favorite scary books as a kid were Jack Prelutsky and Arnold Lobel's 'Nightmares' and 'The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight'.
God tier stuff for a small child.

Such a coincidence that you're making this thread now... I just found this in a bookstore in Montauk:

like what the fuck is this supposed to be
The nicest ghost you'll ever meet.
He just wants to make sure that guy is OK.
Man these take me back. I remember as a kid thinking these books were the coolest thing ever; Goosebumps and these books are a big reason why I like horror movies so much today.
We would listen to the audiobook version during our library sessions in elementary school, as early as 1st grade. Of course we did so while following along with the book so we'd have the illustrations as well. There are numerous drawings, stories, and songs that are etched in my mind to this day.
The Slitheree Dee
Me-Ty-Daughy-Walker
Spider-bite
The Big Toe
The Viper
High Beams
Tons of them.
Harold never made much of an impression when I was younger, I probably just didn't give as much attention to the third book though.

I bought all 3 of these at a book fair when I was in elementary school. The illustrations were really crazy. I must of been in 5th grade or something because I don't remember getting super scared of these or anything. Harold was pretty fucked up though. I remember something about a toe also
Bumping this because I just saw that they're making a movie based on these, it's starting production soon, and Del Toro is producing and co-wrote the script. Andre Ovredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) is directing
Take with a grain of salt since the rumor comes from some no-name site but these are an alleged plot summary and lead character details

Also considering how good Trollhunter was at presenting its titular creatures, Andre is perfect for a plot that bring together all the horror weirdness of Scary Stories into a single cohesive nightmare world

Shorned? Shorned?!
The fuck is shorned? Some unholy union of sheared, and shorn?
This is making me angry.
They have to do Harold. It's one of the most iconic stories from the series
Given the on-the-road premise that the plot sounds like, I could see the characters coming across the farm after the end of the story. Maybe the skin will still be drying on the roof
