"Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" is a sort of welcome throwback, a horror movie cleverly designed to be more spooky than truly grisly(CNN) - "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" is a sort of welcome throwback, a horror movie cleverly designed to be more spooky than truly grisly. At an advance screening in Los Angeles, del Toro described "Scary Stories" as "a gateway movie," intended to serve as an introduction to the world of horror. Del Toro and his collaborators clearly do, and have intriguingly set this story in 1968, with the tension unfolding against a backdrop of Richard Nixon's election and the Vietnam War. Until then, chalk "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" up as an interesting experiment, one whose success, ultimately, will likely depend on its epilogue. "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" premieres Aug. 9 in the US.

Guillermo del Toro's longtime passion project, his adaptation of Pinocchio, is finally coming to fruition, but don't expect it to be anything like what you saw in Disney's most famous fable. Del Toro's Pinocchio will mine the original source material, Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, and be set in Italy during the rise of Fascism. But I think it's essential to Pinocchio, like Frankenstein, to understand what the world is about," del Toro said. Del Toro has made a career specializing in stories of misunderstood monsters -- most recently with the Best Picture-winning The Shape of Water -- so this is a natural fit. Pinocchio is still a ways off, however, as del Toro will next direct Nightmare Alley with Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett.
