It was a dark and stormy night in the Baconcave, so we decided to share some of our favorite selections from Alvin Schwartz’s notorious children’s book series, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Kent and Joel take turns reading such classic tales as “The Hook,” “The Babysitter,” “The Haunted House” and “The Ghost with the Bloody Fingers,” all while trying their best to not be freaked out by Stephen Gammell’s horrific illustrations and Jacob’s indifferent attitude.

Dim the lights, gather ’round the campfire, and press play to enjoy some fantastically freaky Halloween folklore!
