This movie is basically a better version of the Goosebumps movie. I'm an unapologetic Goosebumps fanboy myself and while the Goosebumps movie wasn't bad nor terrible, it had some funny moments, it wasn't boring and was self aware of how silly the books can be. But it wasn't the Goosebumps movie that _I_ wanted to see, it didn't even _try_ to be a horror film. If I was to make adaptations of the books, depending on the story, I would give it a similar tone and quality to The Haunting Hour: The Series. I enjoyed this film, it wasn't super amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it. It pulled off some creepy imagery with the Pale Lady scene and had a brutal, onscreen death scene that cleverly gets around blood and gore for a PG-13 movie with the Harold scene. It may not be the same as Harold skinning someone alive like in the book, but turning into a scarecrow from the inside out with straw pouring through your skin and mouth is just as fucked up and brutal!
Anybody else noticed that some of the characters fates were foreshadowed in the beginning? Auggie kept talking about what people eat, Chuck mentions being smothered by his mom, Ruth's attention to her face and make-up, etc. I just love detail in movies like that. It's always fun to see. Great review and kill count.
The worst one by far is the hug lady, she is so creepy and just the thought of her coming from all directions triggers my fight or flight instinct. Perfectly written and visually made character solid 10/10.
oh YEAH, visually she looked incredible, but I agree with James on the CGI :( made her look a bit rubbery in the final cut, but god she still scared the shit out of me. was great seeing her brought to life!!!
@@ronaldulyssesswanson6624 Also couldn't you just duck underneath her arms or something? She only appeared whenever Chuck looked down a different hallway. I feel like he could have ran around her since she was so slow. Idk it's just a movie though, so it's not gonna be totally correct
It's kind of killing his channel with not having the weekly kill counts. Usually his video's would have millions of views by now, but his most recent views have been going down. I understand he needs a break and time off, but the whole reason why people watch him and the reason why he's famous is because of the kill counts. Putting 1 at the end of each month is kind of killing the views.
I just want to say I’ve seen every single Kill Count released and you can just tell that from the first till now James’ line delivery, pacing, and everything in general has improved so amazingly. Talk about someone who has truly learned and made amazing leaps in editing and all. Love the work, continue crushing it James!!!

When I was in a treatment facility they let us watch this movie. We all ended up quoting the movie, saying things like "who took my toe" and "me tie dough-ty walker" at the most random of times. It freaked the staff out and we thought it was hilarious.
I saw this in a "4-d x" cinema, and it was amazing. In the scene with the red lights, the actual cinema went red and flickered. When one character was being chased by the scarecrow, there was a draft.

14:33 "The Hearse Song" Don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by For you may be the next to die They wrap you up in big white sheet From your hair down to your feet They put you in a pinewood box And cover you up with dirt and rocks It all goes well for about a week And then your coffin begins to leak And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out The worms play pinochle on your snout They eat your eyes, they eat your nose As you begin to decompose A slimy beetle with demon's eyes Chews through your stomach and out your sides Your stomach turns to rancid grease And puss pours out like melted cheese You spread it on a slice of bread And that's what you'll eat when you're dead And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in The ones that crawl in are lean and thin The ones that crawl out are fat and stout Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out Your brain turns into maggot pie Your liver starts to liquify And for the living, all is well As you sink further into hell And the flames rise up to drag you down Into the fire where you will drown Your skin melts off as you descend And Satan tears you limb from limb Your suffering will never end And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out They'll eat your guts and then shit them out And when your bones begin to rot The worms remain, but you do not So don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by For someday, you'll be the one to die And when Death brings his cold despair Ask yourself, "Will anyone care?"
I remember this one! I remember that I'd try to sing this story while reading it since it's supposed to be a song. I did that with every spooky song story.
I like the Viper. Woman keeps getting calls from someone calling themselves “the Viper” and saying they’re coming up to her apartment. When he finally gets there, it turns out he just “came to vash and vipe the vindows”
Me tie doughty walker is a good story in my opinion it's a story about a kid and his dog could go to a haunted house where every Night a bloody head falls down a chimney so a boy and his dog go there and they hear somebody singing me tie doughty walker and after that happened a few times a bloody head falls down the chimney the dog dies on Friday and then the boy gets killed after the head screams we do not know how the boy died but that's the scary thing the head screams snd the the story ends how do y'all think the boy died?
Made a good profit and got some decent reviews, and I believe a sequel already been planned. Add in more stories while also trying to undo the stories from the first movie.
im 13 as of 2022, and my CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY had these books in stock. i would be obsessed with those books, and im so glad that they're getting recognition by being covered. Thanks James!!
It was this kill count that calmed my fears of this, an amazing part of my childhood, being ruined by its movie iteration. Thank you, Dead Meat Crew. I finished watching it yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
After seeing the Jangly Man scene, I realized that they actually mix two stories. "What do you come for?", which is about a woman who wishes for company, and then a corpse comes down her chimney, and "Me Tie Dough-ty Walker" which is about the talking head coming down the chimney. Nice work to whoever wrote that into the movie! Those two were always the creepiest stories to me.
@@A_Film21 It's too intense to be a 12a, five year olds shouldn't be seeing this. The US have G, PG, PG-13 and R. They don't have one betwen the higher two, like we have 15 between 12 and 18. It's annoying, I know, but the system we have over here, in the UK, works.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was one of my favorite things growing up. When I was a kid I got into trouble a LOT. And I spent a lot of time in the corner for it. Hours on end. And one time while I was in the corner I heard my mom reading to my little brother. It was the story of the girl with the ribbon around her neck. I'll skip to the end, her head falls off when she took the ribbon off her head fell off of her body. I had dreams about this girl. Vivid dreams. I thought about her all the time. She's one of the many reasons I fell in love with horror.
The scarecrow scared my dad so much in the 80's that when the trailer came out, the first he saw was the scarecrow. He straight up said "nope, not today, nope" and left
James: "...and while they don't find a dude banging out morse code with his head down there..." Me: ecstatic over the fact that I understood a reference in a kill count
These books got me into horror. I remember (and still can) singing The Hearse Song randomly throughout my youth. I've introduced my 10 year who doesn't like blood but likes watching horror. Love this movie ♡ thank you for posting a kill count ♡
Honestly though, the Pale Lady's design looked spot on. They incorporated practically every little detail in there, even though I feel especially bad for the actor.
I remember taking out those books over and over again from the school library, the librarian noticed and said "since you like horror so much you might like these" and gave me so many horror stories that got me to be a fan of horror altogether so these books were a big part of my childhood, I still remember almost all of its stories with so much fondness.
Going back and watching random old Kill Counts and what do I notice out of nowhere? "Here's a nice piece of shit!" - 3:02 That's a quote from Billy Madison of all movies, which is just awesome. Between things like this and all the pro wrestling easter eggs sprinkled in through these Kill Counts just reaffirms to me that this channel is one of the best going today, has been and still is. I acknowledge you.
@BANSHEE's REVENGE ok ive got some kids from Arabia, some france, germany, UK, USA, a shit ton from China, India and pakistan. Manage to get some from North Korea so choose wisely and nicely
When James says "the house was PLAYED by" I just can't stop thinking of some sort of casting process for buildings. Like there's a whole group of advisors and a huge scary mansion and one of them is like "ok... now look scared" ... "Perfection... you're hired"
7:20 i didn’t even realize that was hank from breaking bad until James said “your really going to sneak a plan like that past the guy who figured out who Walter White was”
hahaha omg I remember growing up on these. The pics always terrified me because they were just so creepy, nevermind how creepy the stories themselves were! The chair one still gets me to this day. It's actually really cool (and perhaps a little spooky too) to see these in film! I want to be just purely terrified by them, but WOW did they do these so much justice and love...I can't help but appreciate it XD
No, see they dont want to write on the book at all, or maybe they do, I forgot what stella wanted to do, but I do like stella, im just a forgiving person but anyone's, what stella means is you dont read the book, the book wants to make you a story that your in. I dont know if that makes sense, my brain is being a tired little shit rn, lol
"he couldn't bring himself to answer the draft after his brother was killed overseas" maybe it's changed since then, but i thought that when a family member dies in the same war that you're fighting in, you are taken out of the military
The Sole Survivor Policy or DoD Directive 1315.15 "Special Separation Policies for Survivorship" describes a set of regulations in the Military of the United States that are designed to protect members of a family from the draft or from combat duty if they have already lost family members in military service (1948). You are correct. However, you have to start the process yourself and fill out the paperwork and submit it. You have to know it's a thing to use it.
The Jangling man mixes two tales! “What did you come for?” Which is an old woman wishing for company and then body parts dropping from her chimney and Me Tie Dough-ty Walker which was a haunted house where a head falls down the chimney and some rich a-hole offers money for someone to stay the entire night. I thought that was a cool way to combine a couple of tales
I hold Scary stories to tell in the dark dearly to me, I was born in the early 2000s and I founds this books in my grandma's house because my mom and aunt owned them. My sister was an avid horror fan so I decided to join her and was absolutely petrified. I love the books, the art they gave me nightmares and I love those memories, couldn't stomach the thought of it being a movie not because I was scared it was going to be ruined... but because the book was scary enough xD
Stella is one of the most irritating “Final Girls” in modern horror. She just can’t keep her damn hands to herself, and it’s her friends, not herself, who have to deal with the consequences.
@J Foster In their defense, the last time she touched something, it set the movie off and it should have made her think twice about touching things she doesn't know anything about.
Seems like a strange change to say "who took my toe" as opposed to the "where is my toe" from the book. Don't know if anyone had the cassette tapes of Scary Stories but they were SO well done. In fact, I grew up on those and not the book, so when I finally got the book I was struck at how simplistic/anti-climactic the stories are. The guys voice/creepy music added A LOT.
“The Red Spot” was the most memorable story for my friends and I at sleepovers, reading these stories was a huge part of my childhood! I’m Gen Z, but these books are timeless.
Someone has probably said this, but the song playing on the music box was “The Hearse Song”, and she sang “Don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by”. Just thought it was interesting.
@@sergeants1881 nah man, I respect your opinion, after seeing so many videos of bearded James, I got used to it and was surprised when starting this video. I dunno anymore-
The reason I didn’t like the movie is because of the “protagonist” Stella. I just didn’t really care about her. As I watched the movie I kept thinking “oh she’s still alive? Okay, whatever.” I somehow cared about every other character except her.
I remember reading these books as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. So seeing Dead Meat cover this movie kept me from being too freaked oust by it.
Love that "Any Day Now" reference, as the actress playing Lulu was the same actress from that show. It used to come on Lifetime back in the day...lol. Good times.
Caught it too...Lorraine Toussaint is the actress playing Lulu, which reminds me how I'm starting to notice this black-servant-does-voodoo trope a lot in movies lately.
those books were pretty much my entire childhood, so fittingly, this was the first horror movie i ever saw in a theater. it was equal parts terrifying and awesome to see those drawings (that gave me nightmares) on the big screen
@@mahsofabishweenie1866 It's called "Death March Club." It isn't part of the danganronpa franchise, but it's the exact same concept. And it's made by the original creator of danganronpa.
If they make a second movie, I hope they include "The window" that story always sent chills down my spine and I remember not being able to sleep the night I first heard it. I think other people can agree with that right?
None of the stories ever scared me ;-; I just want to be scared by horror, I hate being numb to it. Does anyone have any really, really scary stories to recommend?
Okay but “The Big Toe” monster wasn’t actually the monster for that story. But as much as I like the twist there, I still got that small problem with it
i mean, the only other monster they had was a discription of a gremlin-like thing And just in case no one read the book, the monster was from The Haunted House.
I had a twelve year old neighbor friend when I was five. She read me these books... I was so scared but now I’m dying to see the movie. Edit: I just saw the movie and I loved it!!!
Meh. You saw the best part here, the monster designs. They're quite true to the artwork (save for the fact that every picture is dripping with blood and the monsters aren't).
You're not. I shouted it out during the movie. I usually keep quiet but it just came out naturally I guess. Fat Bastard is apparently deep inside all of us.
I looked my friend dead in the eye when she said, “you don’t read the book.” And I said, “the book reads you.” Right as she said it. I apologize to anyone in the theater for our uncontrollable laughter

Great review and kill count.

I wonder though, could you avoid her by walking backwards while looking at her

14:33 "The Hearse Song"
Don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
They wrap you up in big white sheet
From your hair down to your feet
They put you in a pinewood box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks
It all goes well for about a week
And then your coffin begins to leak
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
As you begin to decompose
A slimy beetle with demon's eyes
Chews through your stomach and out your sides
Your stomach turns to rancid grease
And puss pours out like melted cheese
You spread it on a slice of bread
And that's what you'll eat when you're dead
And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out
Your brain turns into maggot pie
Your liver starts to liquify
And for the living, all is well
As you sink further into hell
And the flames rise up to drag you down
Into the fire where you will drown
Your skin melts off as you descend
And Satan tears you limb from limb
Your suffering will never end
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
They'll eat your guts and then shit them out
And when your bones begin to rot
The worms remain, but you do not
So don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by
For someday, you'll be the one to die
And when Death brings his cold despair
Ask yourself, "Will anyone care?"

Me: ecstatic over the fact that I understood a reference in a kill count
Nice.
SAME
is that a reference to that one movie with the girl who clicks her tongue?
@@vivianhuber440 no I think it's a reference to the Korean movie Parasite
@@Sunshine_Ses It definitely is a reference to Parasite
These books got me into horror. I remember (and still can) singing The Hearse Song randomly throughout my youth. I've introduced my 10 year who doesn't like blood but likes watching horror.
Love this movie ♡ thank you for posting a kill count ♡
"Don't you laugh as the hearse goes by"
Hearing James geeking out through the whole movie is so wholesome for some reason
Agreed. I didn’t even like the movie that much, but I’m glad he enjoyed it :)
This was the first horror movie I’ve watched in theaters. And I love horror now, this movie seriously changed me.
So many references throughout this, I’m overwhelmed! Really entertaining KC, James!

Honestly though, the Pale Lady's design looked spot on. They incorporated practically every little detail in there, even though I feel especially bad for the actor.
“Sarah Bellows, tell me a story. Tell me a story.”
“Great. Sarah Bellows is summoned now. Ya summoned a ghost, Stella, are you proud of yourself?”
HE JUST SAID THAT AS I SAW THIS O_O
Yeah he said that good job for reenacting it
Wow he did say that, congrats for quoting him, adding no new or original comment on it, and getting tons of likes
Sans
Honestly I’m surprised by the amount of likes as well. The comment isn’t original at all.
I loved this movie
I remember taking out those books over and over again from the school library, the librarian noticed and said "since you like horror so much you might like these" and gave me so many horror stories that got me to be a fan of horror altogether so these books were a big part of my childhood, I still remember almost all of its stories with so much fondness.
James: “Who took my toe”
Captions: “Who Took my Children”
That’s is google translate for you it might say something different if you rewatch the episode
Karen took the children
She did
*Karen did*
Karen took the kids again, oh no. She praises live laugh love, she gets her weekly hair cut.

That's a quote from Billy Madison of all movies, which is just awesome. Between things like this and all the pro wrestling easter eggs sprinkled in through these Kill Counts just reaffirms to me that this channel is one of the best going today, has been and still is.

Agreed.

Definitely
I just noticed
OMG EW
23:31 when he said '' she gave her 2 screams up '' that made me laugh so hard
The Scarecrow scene scared the life out of me like I felt like vomiting-

When James says "the house was PLAYED by" I just can't stop thinking of some sort of casting process for buildings. Like there's a whole group of advisors and a huge scary mansion and one of them is like "ok... now look scared"
...
"Perfection... you're hired"

hahaha omg I remember growing up on these. The pics always terrified me because they were just so creepy, nevermind how creepy the stories themselves were! The chair one still gets me to this day. It's actually really cool (and perhaps a little spooky too) to see these in film! I want to be just purely terrified by them, but WOW did they do these so much justice and love...I can't help but appreciate it XD
" You dont read the book. The book reads you."
That doesn't make sense.
Wouldn't it be more like "You don't write the story. The story writes you."
Eh either work
No, see they dont want to write on the book at all, or maybe they do, I forgot what stella wanted to do, but I do like stella, im just a forgiving person but anyone's, what stella means is you dont read the book, the book wants to make you a story that your in. I dont know if that makes sense, my brain is being a tired little shit rn, lol

"he couldn't bring himself to answer the draft after his brother was killed overseas"
maybe it's changed since then, but i thought that when a family member dies in the same war that you're fighting in, you are taken out of the military
I think that was only used in WWII
@#1 ratbag just rewatched the movie yesterday
It’s only if all your siblings die, not just one
The Sole Survivor Policy or DoD Directive 1315.15 "Special Separation Policies for Survivorship" describes a set of regulations in the Military of the United States that are designed to protect members of a family from the draft or from combat duty if they have already lost family members in military service (1948). You are correct. However, you have to start the process yourself and fill out the paperwork and submit it. You have to know it's a thing to use it.

Had it at mine too

I actually recently just read the big toe story
Those books were my whole childhood haha. I also loved folklore/urban legends
that scarecrow transformation was horrifying when you realize he is trying to breathe when his lungs and stomach are filling with hay
The Jangling man mixes two tales! “What did you come for?” Which is an old woman wishing for company and then body parts dropping from her chimney and Me Tie Dough-ty Walker which was a haunted house where a head falls down the chimney and some rich a-hole offers money for someone to stay the entire night. I thought that was a cool way to combine a couple of tales
Character: Just up and dies
Deadmeat: “Write that down!
write that down!”
Lmaoo
What?
the creepy “who took my toe” gives me chills every time
Same that's the exact one I remember the most
lol

I hold Scary stories to tell in the dark dearly to me, I was born in the early 2000s and I founds this books in my grandma's house because my mom and aunt owned them. My sister was an avid horror fan so I decided to join her and was absolutely petrified. I love the books, the art they gave me nightmares and I love those memories, couldn't stomach the thought of it being a movie not because I was scared it was going to be ruined... but because the book was scary enough xD
Stella is one of the most irritating “Final Girls” in modern horror. She just can’t keep her damn hands to herself, and it’s her friends, not herself, who have to deal with the consequences.
Agreed
J Foster simp
@J Foster simp
@J Foster In their defense, the last time she touched something, it set the movie off and it should have made her think twice about touching things she doesn't know anything about.
The thing I remember most is "Where's my liver..."
and the punchline
"He has it!"
That was my favorite story lol
@@areid999 mine too
That’s my favorite story
I remember my librarian in Elem. Read this to us for Halloween.
"Then the light went out - and George screamed, and screamed."
The red room woman is the most terrifying thing in my eyes
Yes dude i was at the film when it first came up i litteraly hugged my best friend so hard
I agree
Yesss
Yeaaaa
@the floor is made out of floor whats weird is the pale lady was a good guy in the books
Seems like a strange change to say "who took my toe" as opposed to the "where is my toe" from the book. Don't know if anyone had the cassette tapes of Scary Stories but they were SO well done. In fact, I grew up on those and not the book, so when I finally got the book I was struck at how simplistic/anti-climactic the stories are. The guys voice/creepy music added A LOT.
"Dude banging out Morse Code down there"
IS THAT A PARASITE REFERENCE
THAR'S WHAT I THOUGHT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENTTTTTT
I thought it was a Blair witch reference tbh but maybe lol
I think it's a parasite reference!!!
I hope he does PARASITE next
Is parasite a (you know what) reference?
“The Red Spot” was the most memorable story for my friends and I at sleepovers, reading these stories was a huge part of my childhood! I’m Gen Z, but these books are timeless.
Ha
I remember Being in 3rd grade, and My teacher reading "The Toe Lady", and being scared.
@@err_4044 oh really I used to be the same
@@err_4044 i remeber the toe lady story but instead of a toe it was a foot my dad read them to me when i was young

Someone has probably said this, but the song playing on the music box was “The Hearse Song”, and she sang “Don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by”. Just thought it was interesting.
These are the comments I read comments for at all, thank you.

Gotta love this channel can watch movies never actually wanted to watch and he breaks it down so don’t waste an hour
The reason I didn’t like the movie is because of the “protagonist” Stella. I just didn’t really care about her. As I watched the movie I kept thinking “oh she’s still alive? Okay, whatever.” I somehow cared about every other character except her.
It’s like Anna in Frozen II

They honestly don't make me creeped out or scared and I'm still a kid so.....is something wrong with me?
Brenda Robledo you’re from a different time y’all kids don’t get scared from anything anymore
I remember reading these books as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. So seeing Dead Meat cover this movie kept me from being too freaked oust by it.

Me: Holy Shit
Edit: why is this my most liked comment
Same.
James: mentions Crucible

Why is it ur most liked comment? Because u don’t make many good jokes.
Love that "Any Day Now" reference, as the actress playing Lulu was the same actress from that show. It used to come on Lifetime back in the day...lol. Good times.
Caught it too...Lorraine Toussaint is the actress playing Lulu, which reminds me how I'm starting to notice this black-servant-does-voodoo trope a lot in movies lately.
So glad someone else did. Lol
those books were pretty much my entire childhood, so fittingly, this was the first horror movie i ever saw in a theater. it was equal parts terrifying and awesome to see those drawings (that gave me nightmares) on the big screen
