A group of young high school kids are tormented by nightmarish visions when they stumble upon a mysterious book of horror stories, in which scary monsters suddenly come alive.

Check out the new official teaser trailer for "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," a teen-horror feature collaboration between producer Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Hellboy) and director Andre Ovredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe).

The film, which is inspired by the popular urban legend-themed children's book series by writer Alvin Schwartz and illustrator Stephen Gammell, stars Zoe Colletti (Annie), Michael Garza (Wayward Pines), Austin Abrams (Brad's Status), Gabriel Rush (Moonrise Kingdom), Austin Zajur (Fist Fight), and Natalie Ganzhorn (Make It Pop) with Dean Norris (Breaking Bad), Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption), Lorraine Toussaint (Into the Badlands), and notable creature performer Javier Botet (IT, Mama, Crimson Peak).

With a screen story written by Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro and horror scribes Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan (Feast and the Saw Sequels), and a screenplay written by "Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia" writers Dan Hageman & Kevin Hageman, the film takes place in a small American town called Mill Valley, where a young girl named Sarah Bellows once kept a handmade horror book. In it are scary stories ... stories that continue to strike fear into the hearts of whoever reads them.
