Netflix’s ‘Nightbooks’ Tells Scary Stories from Producer Sam Raimi and the Director of ‘Brightburn’! [Trailer]

“I’m going to need a story every night. Or it’s the last thing you’ll ever do.”

From producer Sam Raimi and director David Yarovesky (Brightburn) comes Netflix’s Nightbooks, a kid-friendly gateway horror movie headed to Netflix on September 15, 2021.

In the film, “Alex (Winslow Fegley) is a creative boy with a strong passion for writing scary stories. But when he’s labeled weird and rejected for what he likes, he swears he’ll never write again. That’s when an evil witch (Krysten Ritter) captures him in her magical apartment in New York City and demands that he tell her a new tale every night if he wants to stay alive. Trapped inside with Lenore, the witch’s spiteful cat watching his every move, Alex meets Yasmin (Lidya Jewett), another young prisoner who has learned how to survive the witch’s wicked whims. With Yasmin’s help, Alex must learn to embrace what makes him unique — his love for scary stories — and rewrite his own destiny to break them free.”

Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis wrote the script, based on the book by J.A. White.
