We do not know much about the story of the upcoming Scary Stories to Tell in the Darks sequel because the cast and crew have been so careful about keeping the film a surprise.

In an interview with Coming Soon, director Øvredal gave us a glimpse of the sequel.

We have a great new story and some fun, scary stories implemented in a good way. I’m very excited about the sequel,” he told the site. “I shouldn’t [say] and I can’t really, you never know what you can and can not say about these things, it’s hard to talk about at this stage. I know it’s been out there in the public already, so I can’t give away too much [chuckles].

He also added:

I’m part of the process of developing, not the writing because it’s Dan and Kevin, who wrote the first one, but I’m definitely part of the development process on this one.

Even lead star Zoe Colletti said she was still in the dark about the movie when she spoke with Decider.

What was the plot of the first Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie?

The first movie in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark franchise drew inspiration from six tales from the three books released under the Scary Stories series, written by Alvin Schwarts and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. The three books were 1981’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, 1984’s More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and 1991‘s Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones.

The film revolves around a group of young teenagers who break into the old and abandoned Bellow mansion, where one of them eventually steals the haunted notebook of Sarah Bellows, a young girl who turned her tortured life into stories she wrote on her notebook. As all the horrors from the notebook come to life, it is up to the teens to break the curse to keep their loved ones, and themselves alive.
