Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark...
Anyone else more or less have these books alongside them while they were growing up (assuming you could wrestle it from the hands of all the other kids clamoring for it at the library)?
There was really some quality, thoughtful material here, and with plenty of almost educational folklore.
Retrospectively, I can't believe this was lumped in with children's reading material, as a good chunk of it was downright disturbing, especially the accompanying artwork (extra points if you can figure out which stories these were from...though no points for the second one):
Kept me up many a night, that's for sure.
1st pic is prettty wild
yup i liked these better than "goosebumps"
shoulda thought twice before reading this thread before i go to sleep.
now im gonna think bloody mary before i drift to sleep
anyone know the golden arm story? 
The quality of the art far exceeded the writing.
Edgar Allan Poe ftw
The Cask of Amontillado is a fucked up creepy story
i LOVE scary stories but at night i won't sleep 
i can't sleep if im alone in the house either, im so paranoied. lol
Dummies.
i read these when i was in elementary school, i loved them as a kid but the pics always freaked me the fuck out
there was one about a girl who had a big zit on her face or something that got bigger and bigger, her mom told her not to touch it and it ended up being a giant nest of spiders that exploded all over her face or something.. and another one about a serial killer hiding in a girl's backseat or something. but i digress.
@ OP- the last one has something to do with that kid finding that toe and eating it or something like that right?

That "Harold" story always scared the shit out of me. Another one that was a total mindfuck was the one with the woman staying in a hotel, she left for a business meeting and whens he got back everything was different, all her stuff was gone and no one knew who she was. Something like that.

A young girl is left home alone with only her dog to protect her. When night approaches, she locks all the doors and tries to lock all the windows but one won't close.
She decides to leave it unlocked and goes to bed. Her dog takes its customary place under her bed.
In the deep of night she awakens to a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. The girl is too scared to go check so she reaches her hand under the bed. She feels a reassuring lick from her dog and falls back to sleep. She reawakens to the dripping sound, reaches her hand down to the dog where she feels the reassuring lick and falls back to sleep. Once more she awakens to the dripping sound. She reaches her hand down and feels the lick of her dog.
Now curious about the dripping sound, she gets up and slowly walks towards the bathroom, the dripping sound getting louder as she approaches. She reaches the bathroom and turns on the light. She is greeted by a horrific sight; hanging from the shower nozzle is her dog with its throat slit open and its blood dripping into the bathtub.
Something on the bathroom mirror catches her eye she turns around. Written on the bathroom mirror in her dog's blood are the words "HUMANS CAN LICK TOO".
A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room, there was a door with no number that was locked and no one was allowed in there. Especially no one should look inside the room, under any circumstances. So he followed the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed. The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle. Sure enough it was locked. He bent down and looked through the wide keyhole. Cold air passed through it, chilling his eye.
What he saw was a hotel bedroom, like his, and in the corner was a woman whose skin was completely white. She was leaning her head against the wall, facing away from the door. He stared in confusion for a while. He almost knocked on the door, out of curiosity, but decided not to. This disinclination saved his life. He crept away from the door and walked back to his room. The next day, he returned to the door and looked through the wide keyhole. This time, all he saw was redness. He couldn�t make anything out besides a distinct red color, unmoving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew he was spying the night before, and had blocked the keyhole with something red.
At this point he decided to consult the woman at the front desk for more information. She sighed and said, "Did you look through the keyhole?" The man told her that he had and she said, "Well, I might as well tell you the story. A long time ago, a man murdered his wife in that room, and her ghost haunts it. But these people were not ordinary. They were white all over, except for their eyes, which were red."
Is that first picture from one where a girl had spiders behind her eye or something? Who would let a 3rd grader read this? lol
