The Thing

[ranking: 19]
Ted and Sam were the best of friends. One fateful night, they saw - well, a thing. They couldn't exactly make out what it was at first. After overcoming their fear, they managed to get close enough to see it clearly. Yet it wouldn't be until later that they realized what the thing really was.

The White Satin Evening Gown

[ranking: 12]
The moral of this story is to never purchase clothes secondhand (sorry Plato's Closet). You just never know who the previous owner might be.

The Drum

[ranking: 5]
A gypsy with a magical drum tells two children that if they do terrible things to their mother, they can have the drum. However, the gypsy never gives them the drum, and the mother gets so fed up that she leaves and gives them a new mother with chilling glass eyes and a wooden tail.

Old Woman All Skin And Bone

[ranking: 34]
This cheerful song is about an old woman who decides to go to church to hear the parson. In the process, she comes face to face with her own mortality. Yikes.

Aaron Kelly's Bones

[ranking: 28]
In this story, "dead" is a relative term. Aaron Kelly is dead, but he sure doesn't act like it. He comes home and acts as if nothing is wrong. Well, this causes some undue hardship for his widow and some fiddler who apparently was just waiting for Aaron to die so he could swoop in and marry her. That's not creepy at all, buddy.

Dim the lights and gather 'round, because here we have the best of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. These are stories you might remember from your childhood, stories that left an indelible mark upon your young psyche as you read them by flashlight, underneath the covers. Packed to the brim with horror, one can hardly believe that these were written for children. Apparently, kids were made of hardier stock back then.

Kids have long had to endure horrors as part of the growing-up process. The classic game of Bloody Mary is but one example. Even as infants, kids are subjected to some pretty horrific nursery rhymes. Telling urban legends is a sandlot pastime that goes back generations. Plus, in the modern age, there are talking dolls that amount to pure nightmare-fuel. Telling scary stories, though, will always have an important place in the world of childhood. Perhaps they prepare us for the real-world horrors of adult life.

What makes these the scariest stories for kids? Well, the book's haunting illustrations by Stephen Gammell certainly play their part, so much so that a reprint had to replace them with more "child-friendly" fare. Thanks to the power of the Internet, however, we can still enjoy the scariest children's stories as they were meant to be experienced: how we experienced them, recoiling in horror at the images shown in low light as we tried our best to scare the pee out of our best friends. Vote up the ones that left their mark in the dark recesses of your mind.
