Explore the history of one of the most controversial works in modern children's literature: the best-selling teen horror story Story in the Dark, which scared off a generation of young readers and became one of the most banned books in modern times. Terrible stories create the ultimate celebration and thesis of this iconic horror literature. Horror Story includes more than 40 interviews, including family members of author Alvin Schwartz and horror writers of children's books such as R.L Stine "Goosebumps" and Q.L. Pierce, folklore experts, artists and fans discussed the impact of the books themselves on the whole culture. The documentary also explores periods when parents and religious groups banned or targeted "Satan", or too creepy for its targeted teenage academic audience.
