yle and Meghan are digging into another story from Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: “The Teeth.”
They look at the story itself, the strange image at the center of it, and where Schwartz may have drawn his inspiration from. From older folklore and printed sources to similar tales involving frightening strangers and exaggerated teeth, they follow the trail behind the story and compare those earlier versions to the one generations of readers came to know from Scary Stories.
Along the way, they talk about what makes “The Teeth” so simple, so bizarre, and still so memorable all these years later.
