Let's get a little spooky by surveying the original Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book from 1981. Nate, Kelly, and Chelsea discuss the hits and misses in this kid's tome of terror. After all, this book might've been your first exposure to The Hook (about a hook-handed murderer) or High Beams (there's someone in the backseat!!!) or even The Wendigo! How many Debs does this book get? Listen to find out... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! (Did we scare you?)
