Ranking the Monsters from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 

Man if i was in da movie i woulda juked her and dipped

Yesssssssssssssssssss.

Righttt

My most fear man

She’s cute

Never said he was alive when Harold skinned him. All that we know is that Harold is see laying bloodied skin out to dry on the roof. Might not even be human. I mean, the chances of it being human skin is high, but it was never definitely confirmed.

@@Bluesit32 The best part of the stories were the room for interpretation. They were open ended and vague. The back of your book cited that some of the stories had different versions themselves and even spanned across other cultures. In my own imagination, that's what happened.

yeah same, I love the books, even now, and when I read that Harold was in it, I was so FREAKING excited because I love horror. When I saw it, I was very disappointed.

If this movie was R I would lose my shit they could up the gore and creepiness and the deaths would be much more cooler

Wtf

XD,Okay now,this is a good joke

LMAO

Jesus Christ

Elena Sos LMAOOOOOOOOOOO.

Agreeeeed

OMG yes!!!

YES YES YES

aesthete that’s exactly what I was thinking

YEAHHH SHE DOES!!!

So true

Thats just me drinking ice tea late at night

Same

Same

Me tooo😂😂😂😂

Fr that lady got me the most

Nova Star Weirdo yeah ikr she’s cute

Yeah... and consume your body. No biggie

And absorb you into the depths of total darkness

She was especially effective for me because I used to be afraid of being smothered/tickled. Coupled with the strange moaning noises she makes, it feels violating just to look at her

@@Pleasestoptalkingthanks I know what you mean I have nightmares getting clawed by the armpits. Tho this is unsettling on a level of rape for me.

No Harold he’s disturbing

The pale lady really does need a movie cause the way she looks and captures her victims looks like the birth of nightmare fuel.

Agreed

Oh my God I used to have nightmares of looking at that woman 😭

If Harold was the same that he was in the actual story then I would say Harold would make a better story but the pale lady did decent in the film as well

pikachu in the end she said she'll find them, they didn't really die, they just got taken, we didn't really see them die, just disappear.

Probably a sequel coming.. she’ll have her friends back

youre not paying attention, they didnt die. That officer did though

Just came back from the movie :D

Edo Boii there is.. have you read the books? Part 1: Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Part 2: More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Part 3: Even More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

So its worth seeing then? I loved the books so I was hoping this would be good.

Joe Hand honestly speaking yes it’s worth it. From start to finish it made me happy. My dad wasn’t even familiar with the source material and he ended up enjoying it too

I watched it as well it was good the characters were exactly like those in the books however I didn’t like the ending that’s alo

Jazmine XO yeah the ending could’ve been a little better but otherwise I loved the film. Del Toro did the books justice and it made me happy

Zachary Przybyszewski i agree

Why are they being taken off school shelves?

val macclinchy Mainly due to overly sensitive parents getting triggered.

val macclinchy the goddamn media saying “they’re too scary”

@@freddiemercury4evr most likely cause kids shit there pants

They did the same thing with the Goosebumps tv show back in the 90's because parents said it was too scary. Its Goosebumps!

I dislike gacha tubers, but that was funny. You earn a like

SNORLAX I CHOOSE U

When the film came out in 2019-

USE ABSORB

When Sis said it like a pokèmon , it looks like ditdo

Michelle Baggiore it was so gross 🤢 🤮

The guy she took's nails must've hurt

Oh the toe monster is me when I see my gf

GIVE ME TOE

It's sad she only gets 10 seconds of screentime she's so pretty 😢

The Dream , did you read it ? I read it in skoooooooool babe

THANK GOD, I'm not the only one!!!!

Well she's Nr. 1 on the list so why should Somebody not believe you lmao

Elvira G Martinez the jangly man (idk what he’s called) scared me the most because 3rd grade me almost wet my pants in the library reading me ty doty walker.

That pale lady scene was absolute vore! Also, someone actually made a GIF of the Pale Lady blinking. U can find it somewhere on the internet.

tbh this makes me weird but i talk to dogs like they're so comforting

@@miwashumie I do to. My female chihuahua sleeps in my bed and someyimes i swear she can understand most of what i say. They are vey intelligent.

Jimmy David 😂😂😂

miriaxx lol I actually never even questioned that!

WOAW

I don't understand why he didn't just give her it?

😂😂

IT WASNT ME MAN IM SORRY

More like SOMEBODY TOUCHEN MA SPAGGETE

Me: Y U ASKING ME! IDK!

Ikr 😭💀😂 lol

Spoopy

Stefan sake and bc I have a chiminea

He was the scariest for me, though, after a while i did kinda get used to it.

@@justsomegirl4904 Markiplier reference that few would get

Dude in the story I couldn't help but laugh at the jangly man because of how cheesy he looked

Jday12 finally someone else gets how great the movie did the characters

I love the monsters that was portray in that movie. The monsters' acting was more believable than the main characters.

Never read the books but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I thought all the monsters were effective.

Jday12 she was just so cute in the movie her smile looked so innocent

Same, the moment I saw it in the teaser the memories just flooded back of that one illustration

HAHA I don’t get it .-.

Austin Servin so he’s trying to say when the screen goes black it shows him so yeah

@iSlapMyOpps ohhhhhh yeah that one is scary

@@papertowel6228 Are you assuming my gender- I-

m a t c h a d o n u t oh I’m sorry 😗

Play the first four Silent Hill games.

Opium Symposium Oh I did

She tries to warn people of danger.

Tem Shop :3 I know but damn

@@thedancingmoonfoxy7272 obviously you've never read the story.

I like how Stella managed to make Sarah receive a reality check

This movie was so boring imo

The red room sequence was pretty good, but this movie relies too much on jumpscare and loud music.

Unsure Future there’s a difference between cheap jump scares and good ones, what you described are good jump scares because they build up the momentum before doing it

Greato desu yo koitsu wa

I was thinking the same lmao.

Or the scarecrows from Goosebumps.

J

Sorry typo on my first reply LOL Anyway has any one here seen supernatural the scarecrow in that is way scarier and would kill the scary story and goosebumps scarecrow in a minute with out even breaking a sweat if scarecrows could sweat that is anyway in my opinion the supernatural scarecrow beats them all

@@narutosgirl2008 I definitely agree, the deity scarecrow in Supernatural is by far the scariest and would fit in well with other shows like Are you afraid of the dark and Tales from the Crypt. Although the scarecrows from Goosebumps 'The scarecrow walks at midnight' were much scarier in the book.

The incredible Dr L same

She’s not scary she’s just kinda weird and disturbing

Makeshift Meteorite ikr

I'm not sure if he meant very so im not gonna correct him

I was scared and unsettled

That was chuck

I laughed so hard at that scene 😂😂😂

It's a spider bite you butt pimple😂😂😂

I very much agree

Spiders sucked

I agree!!

Same

Sebastian's Mind that’s what my friend and I ranked

Being not the villain in the book is not the same as her being a clear villain in this movie

But she still stuff the guy in her stomach!

Nahhh!!! That was sooo scary! I think mostly because she moved slowly and because of the tension but that is my opinion lol

Yeah she was 2nd for me. But that’s just because the spiders where nothing

The twisted ass dude was scary ass hell to me. Crawling on all fours with your head upside is TERRIFYING

thats me too!!!

Me when i realise tomorrow is monday

except I’m not smiling

Me to

She used to scare me, now she's just a fat mood.

Pale Lady is number one man she scared me the most

That is the EXACT order I would put them in too ;-) :-P

This would be how I would list it too

I would switch pale lady and jangly man imo

My order 1.pale lady 2.harold 3.toe monster 4.the red spot 5.jangly man

The only thing I wished about the Jangly Man was that they gave more screen time building up to his initial appearance. In the original book’s “Me Tie Doughty Walker” story, the bulk of the narrative was spent on the boy hearing those words being sung repeatedly, then answered by another voice coming from his dog’s mouth. Only after that interplay repeats four times, at escalating loudness, does the bloody head fall from the chimney and the dog dies of fright. Then again, maybe when the movie comes out on home media, I could get to work creating my own edited mashup to make the Jangly Man’s introduction more like in that original short story. If I did, do you think the scene would be at lot scarier, if: 1.) A voice clip of “Me Tie Doughty Walker” can be faintly heard while Ramon and Stella are in the cells, making it look like that cued Ramón to say “The Jangly Man is coming”; 2.) We hear a faint recording of “Lynchy Kinchy Colly Molly Dingo Dingo” play, in a manner that sounds like it is coming from the adjacent room; 3.) The audio clips repeat at louder volumes when the deputy walks back to the fireplace room; 4.) A much louder “Lynchy Kinchy Colly Molly Dingo Dingo” finally plays over the clip in which we see the dog barking at the fireplace (and the dog’s “singing” would be portrayed with multiple recordings playing simultaneously at different pitches to make it sound more ghostly or otherworldly, similarly to how I heard the demonic voices were done in The Conjuring 2); 5.) The shot of the dog running away is removed and replaced to make it look like the dog stayed in the room with the deputy, even as the Jangly Man’s head fell down; 6.) When we cut back to Stella and Ramón, right before the deputy’s body gets thrown into the cell room, some added sound-effects of bones breaking and a dog yelping play, with an echoey effect, to make it appear as though the dog in the movie did not fair any better than the dog accompanying the boy in the original story?

Toe lady dominated

Fr.

Honesty my favorite story and when I actually heard the dog say it I was excited af

I never heard the story but i really like the idea

everytime i saw the jangly man all my fear went away. it wasn't hilarious like the pale lady but it definitely didn't scare me

Hes having a blast twisting his bones in the air

Yes she is

thederpycreeper can I punch you for been stupid

I think I've gone crazy, I like something about the pale lady's smile

Thanks for the Spoiler genius.

Can i get that book? Pdf? Download?

Bruh i remember reading the one about the butcher who murdered a guy and made him into sausage..W a C k.

and that’s me now

cxpx mmmmm I’m not sure 🤔

Yes I jumped at that part

what about when charlie closes that closet and hears auggies footsteps

bruh same

@Smoke storm king yea but she doesn't look like the good guy

JediBlades42 I had a fucking nightmare about it after seeing the movie. Read the Book back in 1997. Scared the shit out of me, Im almost 30 now. Haven’t had a nightmare in fucking YEARS! Pale lady and the Big Toe were the most terrifying to me

What's eerie?

I men if she doesn't fully open here mouth then I can see that but the horror of a wide person running after you in a dimly lit thin hallway is something that will linger.

@@weebmaster6984 ikr

Until she f**king absorbes you

@@microooo she does or not? o.o

Truuuue

Because they didn't have a visual for that story. In the behind the scenes footage they talk about using that art peice for the story.

I thought something seemed familiar but wrong!

Yeah, and it irks me, too. Not the kind of liberty I would take with artistic license. Less than honorable.

Kaleb Acuña understandable. They do give a vague description of the creature from “The Big Toe” in the story though, that they could’ve done something with. Sharp teeth and big claws, nothing close to the corpse in “The Haunted House”.

I like ur profile pic

Yeah but I think that is because the character in the book listened to her warnings from the the dreams. Charlie ended up in the red room, the place she called evil. So I think, because he didn't listen to her warnings, he died.

what do you mean, she freaking absorbed him

@@memesy8622 He listened to her warnings and if you actually watched the movie you would know him being absorbed was out of his control. The only reason the room became red was because some security workers saw him and sounded the alarm and the room turned red, then he had no escape.

@@realisticwalkingcrackerof2184 Not really, in the movie it clearly said RED ROOM but he still couldnt get out in time. While the book was writing down the next story, it said "RED ROOM" which obviously gave him a hint to not go in there but he didnt see the sign that said "RED ROOM" and before he knew it, the red alarms went off causing the whole room to turn red, then being surrounded by the Pale Lady.

Which monster? Also isnt your profile pic also terrifying?

Mr Tripuler, it’s a Spirit Halloween animatronic.

The fat lady is the Pale Lady

I think there is a movie on the goatman

Cesar Victorino the moth man prophecies is a movie on the mothman

Same

There is one for mothman but I don't remember the name

@@shinsgrave and also 2 more

no hes not he was originally in book 3

im a snake who is the OG

@@theabominablesnowman8433 the big toe monster is

im a snake nice ok, I’ve never read the books but I guess I will now

His name wasn't Harold...

Well it is the name of the story

@@shinryuvirus9987 They combined two different stories into one character. "The Big Toe", and "The Haunted House"

@@Wiseman108 huh i didn't know that part

Quackity thebabeslayer Do u mean Chuck ...ur welcome 😉

Ooookey dokey then

Chuck was my favorite character

None of them died, they just disappeared

@@omegalul2305 No he meant Chuck nORRIs

Sherice Browne some recommendations for some good horrors?

The jangly man is nothing like a wendigo in any way shape or form

Totoro Bell I think it’s just the way it twists it’s self in weird ways, but obviously it depends on the adaption of the wendigo you’re actually reading.

Issaiah 😂😂

LivLyfe is harold more creepy than the pale lady?

Wassup! That’s my list as well!

@@glizzyjoint3715 Only slightly I'd say

Alpha Pale lady and Toeless Corpse are tied for me. Both stories were terrifying in different ways

NightTimeRomeo well, okay that's ya opinion but the director Guillermo Del Toro explained why he didn't want this movie to be separated story

NightTimeRomeo To be fair, they did actually shoot the skinning scene, but decided against it. I would have preferred the original ending, as well.

I think it would have been the best as a massive Netflix series, with a 30-40 minute ep. for each monster.

you are still a kid kid.

Dont be afraid of her She just wants to hug you This will be ur best nightmare ever ;-;

Wasn't Javier only the actor for the toeless corpse? I couldn't tell if he was the actor in the pale lady suit

@@Altamos0023 hes that role, and I'm pretty sure the pale woman as well. I think I saw it on his Instagram. I'll have to double check

@@Thepersianpopinjay just the toeless corpse or not he deserves his recognition he does an amazing job! :)

I couldn't even watch that part

Jon B-C I completely agree man. I didn’t need sleep anyway lol

Julian Serafica Yeah that kills you by absorbing you. That was terrifying

I mean....yeah. You’d understand sure enough

facejobby thank you !! Someone that agrees !!! (But my favourite character had to be the first to go 😥) what really got me about that scene was the camera angle of the foot slamming down and obviously the woman saying “give me my toe” from down the corridor. Some great videography there

TelePhotoLens Whatdya expect? If it was going to be formatted that way they shouldnt have tied the stories together and made them like the Twilight Zone Movie

@@GOODNOIGHT Exactly. This whole thing would have worked way better as a miniseries.

Hailey Turner Fuck the ratings. This film did the book justice. I read it back in the 90s when it first came out

Ratings are irrelevant

The ratings weren’t bad

Bonito some people would say she isn’t that scary. But I think if they thought about it..being trapped basically with this odd pale thing coming from all directions.. Shivers. I know I was terrified for the character because every time he thought he could get out and there she was.. I felt his despair and continuing hopelessness

That smile.....that damm smile
