Ramon takes his automobile to the mechanic in the morning, but Chief Turner (Gil Bellows) questions him about his presence in town. When Turner reads what Tommy wrote, he confronts him about the alleged fight he had with him. Ramon indicates his surname is Rodriguez, and Turner says he will look into it. Stella's father, Roy, has reported Tommy missing (Dean Norris). She goes on an investigation with Ramon and discovers what looks to be Harold dressed in Tommy's clothing. Stella believes this is Tommy and that the narrative she read has come to life. She resolves to return the book to the Bellows home to prevent it from being read further.
The acting was mediocre. Nothing out of the ordinary. Stella - Zoe Colletti - in particular, her acting seemed sooooooo forced sooooooo frequently, it was much too theatrical and over-the-top, and simply, it became really annoying very quickly. The remainder of the cast wasn't as terrible, but it wasn't great either. Gabriel Rush (Auggie) and Austin Zajur (Chuck) were adequate additions to the group, but their performances were not outstanding. Stella is clearly the primary character early on; she's the quiet, geeky, smarty-pants of the gang who figures stuff out. There's also this strange, flirtatious, illogical relationship going on between her and this guy named Ramon. He's a man who's trying to escape getting conscripted for war (spoilers, but it doesn't really contribute much to the tale), and when they first meet, there's a lot of fast eye contact, which is very corny crap. It doesn't really go anywhere, so I'm not sure why they bothered with it in the first place, but it made no sense to me. They hardly know one other at the beginning and finish, yet they have these flirting moments? I just felt it was strange and didn't make sense.
Is Stella and Ramon still alive? What becomes to Chuck and Auggie? The first narrative, âHarold,â depicts Tommy's life. The pals learn that no one reads Sarah's book. Instead, the book reads individuals. The next tale, âThe Big Toe,â is about Auggie accidentally knocking into a bucket of toe stew, and as a result, a horrific ghost searching for its misplaced toe. Auggie vanishes from the picture when the narrative becomes real. Chuck is next in line. While they are browsing through newspaper archives, the journal begins to write another narrative, âThe Red Spot.â
Realizing that the tales contained inside the book are coming to life and that they will be next, the gang attempts to burn the book but is unsuccessful. The gang then decides to do research on Sarah Bellows, but Ruth must be rescued when she is cast as the main character in the new narrative "The Red Spot." Stella and her friends' investigations take them to a nearby hospital, where they discover that the Bellows family was polluting the town's water with mercury and that Sarah had been tortured and mistreated by her family. Chuck gets pursed by the Pale Lady, a creature from his dreams, in the hospital, and the Pale Lady consumes him. Chief Turner arrests Stella and Ram3n, revealing that Ram3n evaded the conscription in order to fight in the Vietnam War. While imprisoned, Ram3n knows that the next entity will be the Jangly Man, a monster that horrified him as a boy after hearing it in a campfire tale. The Jangly Man arrives and murders Turner, while the monster tries to murder Ram3n. As Ram3n distracts the monster, the two flee, and Stella resolves to return to the Bellows residence to speak with Sarah.

*For those unfamiliar with the original material, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is the first of three extremely successful children's books written by Alvin Schwartz and featuring innovative and scary drawings by Stephen Gammell that have traumatized children of all ages since the 1980s. And, although we've all seen how bad movie adaptations of popular novels can be, I was pleasantly delighted to discover that, despite being rated PG-13, this adaptation managed to bring on some genuine creepiness.
