One of the questions I had when I saw Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was would it arrive in time for people to check it out prior to Halloween. The answer is Yes and No. Read the press release below to find out when you can put it in front of your eyeballs in case you missed it in the theaters. We even have a look at the Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook.

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. For a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home, the stories become all too real in this spine-tingling film.
