In an act of Halloween-related public service, the website GeekTyrant has dug up the three audiobook editions of Alvin Schwartz's series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark on YouTube. These books were biiiig when I was as kid (and, now that I think back on it, probably wildly inappropriate for an elementary school setting), so I was pleased to see these videos, which feature the books' original, ridiculously creepy artwork from illustrator Stephen Gammell.
