Are you scared of scary myths coming true? Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, directed by Andre Ovredal in 2019. Three friends who were getting chased by another group of friends who they didn't get along with. They entered a house, which they knew about that was ¨haunted.¨  She, Stella, played by Zoe Colletti,  ran into a bookshelf and a book had fallen out when getting trapped in a room with Ramon, played by Michael Garza. Watching this film made me realize that watching horror comes in different types of ways of getting scared. 


Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is about myth stories being brought to life. The stories would be told in a book that belonged to Sarah Bellows (Kathleen Pollard), who had grudges against her family, but being blinded by anger, she was angry towards everyone, to whoever had entered the house, she wrote stories about. Stella and her friends are trying to find a way to stop the book from continuing to write about the disappearance since her friends were being targeted slowly. Stella and Ramon (Zoe Colletti and MIchael Garza) finds out new things about Sarah and her background. 


This film came out to me because of Sarah and Stella. Sarah held grudges against anyone who entered the home. Stella, who felt guilt because of her mom, who had left. Sarah, who was abused by her family and the backstory of what her family did is brutal. Stella, she loves to write and is outgoing. Sarah and Stella, they both had similar activity of writing.


Finishing the movie speaks to me saying  that each different character had a different living situation, and that each person has their own deeper feeling in the back of their head. They have to let go of that feeling in order to move on, in other words they want to be heard out by a person who has the same feeling as them in order to be understood. 


Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, can express many types of feelings that each character is insecure about. It also can says that, there's different ways you can find a solution to your problems and the way you solve them can have an impact on you.
