Censorship is scary. In honor of Banned Books Week, join the IFRT for a national watch party of “Scary Stories,” a documentary that digs into the history and impact of the banned book “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” by Alvin Schwartz.

Share your thoughts leading up to and during the film with the hashtag #CensorshipisScary.

We won't be streaming the film through zoom just talking and watching it together. We’ll post a link to our Amazon watch party Friday night in the zoom chat, limited to the first 100 attendees.

Have a frighteningly good time after the film by joining us on the Banned Books Week YouTube channel for a Q&A with the director, Cody Meirick, at 7:45 p.m. CST.
