Producer and screenwriter Guillermo del Toro agreed, adding, "I am honored to support Andre's vision and, with our partners, to bring the incredible world of Scary Stories to the screen."
The movie has been in development at CBS Films since 2013 and Guillermo del Toro has been trying to get this project off of the ground since early 2016. He was originally tasked to direct but scheduling conflicts forced del Toro to take on a producer role and bring in André Øvredal as director.

Del Toro produces with Sean Daniel and Jason Brown of Hivemind along with Oscar-winner J. Miles Dale and Elizabeth Grave.
