Fuse 8 n’ Kate: In a Dark, Dark Room by Alvin Schwartz

Halloween is almost upon us! And like every year, Kate is always challenging me to come up with some classic scares. This year, we've seen Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark adapted to the silver screen. Seems only natural to then pull out what I would consider to be Schwartz's other scary classic for kids. What I had not counted on was that in 2017 Harper Collins re-illustrated the series. What to do? Well... why not do both versions?
