In honour of Halloween (which was yesterday for me, oops)
What are some of your favourite scary stories from childhood? It can come from a series, be folklore, a made up ghost story or even from classical literature. I’ll even make an exception for a TV show/movie.
My list includes the Goosebumps series, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids and it’s subsequent spin off series. Both of which got turned into popular children’s shows. Tales from the Darkside I think it was called, had some good anthologies. Most books written by Roald Dahl were staples in my reading collection. Even if some gave me nightmares lol
Others faves include the Headless Horseman, the Flying Dutchman which my father told to me as a child. And various original Grimm tales like Hansel and Gretel etc
I also remember the Oz books being kind of creepy and the original book Pinocchio is based on gave me nightmares lol. Like good god how Disney looked at that and thought it would make a classic family friendly movie is beyond me but whatever.
