I'm very interested in this. The books, especially the artwork for them, were the shit. I can't wait to see the monstrosities depicted in the books be brought to life with practical effects. At least I hope they're going practical, because fuck CGI.

Here's the first trailer(s):

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

This looks fucking awesome.

I hope this one shows up.

 

[frozenrunner]

I can't imagine del Toro doing a movie with shitty CGI.

This gon be gud.

 

[Muttnik]

I eat up pretty much anything Del Toro makes so I hope it's as great as I think it could be. That man loves him some creature shit.

 

[hotcheetospuffs]

At least with this movie they are crediting the author of the books.

(Because he did not credit the author of the play Shape of Water is based upon)

 

[verissimus]

This looks fucking awesome.

I hope this one shows up.

Is this supposed to be Razorfist or Styx without makeup?

 

[BeanBidan]

This looks fucking awesome.

I hope this one shows up.

The years have not been kind to Narcissa Wright.

But I'm hyped for this. I loved reading the books when I was a young lad.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

What do you think this is gonna be rated?

This looks fucking awesome.

I hope this one shows up.

What about

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Guillermo del Toro is the perfect director for a movie like this. His visual style already compliments the creepy art from the books.

 

[Outer Party Member]

The nightmares of my childhood as a movie, by one of the most surreal directors.

You now have my attention, Hollywood.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

I hope some of the less talked about stories are included. Like the one about a woman's mother getting ill and the mother disappearing along with the hotel room while she was getting a prescription for the mother.
Because the hotel workers dumped her body after the mother died and had the room changed.

he's not directing, only producing and supposedly came up with the story.
The guy directing is the guy who made Trollhunter (the found footage movie, not Del Toro's netflix series/book series.)
That being said, I'm still hyped

That one actually happened.

I love the poster art since Harold is probably the most recognizable story from the book. It's my favorite one, too. The one where the lady gets a horse ride home from a dead guy is cool too.

Beyond Belief: Fact Or Fiction said it was real too. I never found any stories that tied back to the scary story though.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

I'm stoked for this. I hated this horse, it's not scary, but was unsettling for young me

I can see why it only has one High heel and mystery is the scariest thing of all.

 

[Keystone]

Always found the tail on this thing revolting because of the stringy and greasy looking hair most of the illustrations have:

This motherfucker startled me the first time I read it as a young'un:

I don't remember this one, but he's eyeballin' you something fierce:

Exactly. The longer you look at it, the more confusing it is. It's horrifying for reasons that you can't directly explain.

 

[yeahweknow]

I don't remember this one, but he's eyeballin' you something fierce:

i think that one is from a reprint, where they also had new illustrations made

 

[Clintonberg]

While I'm excited for this I'm also a little weary of it having an overarching plot. I think it would have worked out better if it were just a collection of individual short stories. Can't wait to see how grotesque its creatures are tho.
