It’s been a long time since the 80s — also known as the Golden Age Of Unsanitized Terrifying Eye-Scarring Movies Aimed At Children. Anyone who wonders why Stranger Things is half-horror hasn’t seen the kind of films kids had to watch back then — Return To Oz, The Secret of NIMH, The Witches, The Gate, you name it. Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark is an attempt by producer Guillermo del Toro to get back to that era.
