It's funny, I grew up in West Virginia and I had already heard several of these stories and rhymes before I even picked up the book. So while the art is creepy enough, I was already desensitized to the stories themselves.

>Ever wondered where Me Tie Dough-Ty Walker comes from?

>Alvin Schwartz wrote it based on an old Kentucky legend, but no one knows where the name came from. Schwartz had a nightmare once where he saw a man wearing a tattered dark coat and hat, with a white t-shirt and a red tie. The coated man also wore a broken pair of spectacles, which was gradually falling apart with every step he took. While Schwartz thought about how strange the ensemble was, he paid more attention to how the man looked pained and was screaming ME TIE DOUGH-TY WALKER, ME TIE DOUGH-TY WALKER! AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! And then the man fastened his tie tightly, causing his head to pop off and bounce around, dropping his specs and hat, still screaming. And just as the head was flying toward Schwartz, Schwartz woke up.

>Schwartz contacted Stephen Gammell only to find out Gammell had the same nightmare. They quickly put it to good use. Curiously if you notice on the image Gammell painted for Me Tie Dough-Ty Walker, you can see what looks almost like a hat behind the head, as if it had just fallen off.

Anybody ever tried to look up the stuff that Alvin Schwartz adapted from to see what he had to omit? "The Dead Hand" ended by saying that Tom never spoke a word again after his night in the woods, which is kind of ambiguous. The original story that the Dead Hand was based on had a gloomier ending where it outright says that Tom spent the rest of his days either sitting out in the sun or near the fire grinning, but at night would wander up to the edge of the village toward the swamp and start screaming while his mother who also seemed to have snapped, kept following him and pleading for him to come back home). The original story also says that Tom only lasted a year after his fright in the swamp. Sick with grief after Tom died, Tom's mother stole the corpse from the coffin before it could be buried. When the villagers found her, she was already dead, sitting up holding and nursing Tom's body in her lap.

After that, there were dark nights where the villagers could hear Tom moaning in the wind while his mother's voice behind him, frantically trying to persue him.

The stories by themselves weren't always that scary. The illustrations are what made them all stand out.

He won't because every project he makes gets canceled

Anyone have pictures of the newer versions? They downgraded the art with shitty non-spooky stuff. It's a shame, the creepy as hell illustration is the only reason people remember the books.

>>87368559
The art's not bad, but the problem is it's being compared to something far more well-known.

But I wondered why they changed the illustrations? There was an article about someone making a documentary about the Scary Stories books, but he said that he tried to reach out to Stephen Gammell for an interview but Gammell so far seems to have declined. Did he have anything to do with the art change?
