I'm sure you've all heard of them before, but for those who haven't, these were the scariest books I'd ever read as a kid. The pictures alone send chills down the spine.
These are great for parties or bedtime.

Scary Stories to tell in the Dark - Alvin Schwartz

There's about 3 in the series now, and I think this year might be the 25th anniversary.

I think this is mentioned over in Halloween Entertainment...they are great books; I have the hardbound collection of all three volumes. For my kids' Halloween parties I would memorize Me-Ti-Do-Tee-Walker and scare the bageezus out of their friends.

Which is pretty challenging considering how your bageezus can get stuck up in your craw from time to time...

EEk I just got chills...I use to have all those books when I was a kid. Now I'm too scared to look at them! I knew what pictures were on each page and if i was afraid of a certain picture I would skip the page all together. Those are great books though!

They should be standard reading every October. The first is clearly the best but the whole compilation is good.

Oh yeah, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a good series. An old time favorite is the one about the killer scarecrow, Harold. There were some people on the internet who were even going to make a short movie about it, and they were going to get somebody to play Harold.
