What happens when you take a beloved cult classic series of books, do none of the research work involved, and ape the shit out of the fanbase? I kid, but not really. Tribute to Terror is born out of a love and deep respect mixed admiration for Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series from the late 90’s. Tribute is just as it says: a love-letter to what we once knew that no longer exists. The problem is: it’s not nearly as developed or as good as what came before. It’s a bit like the Star Wars sequels in that it knows there’s a fanbase and knows there’s a deep lore and respect for the classics and the masters that came before it, but instead of doing the same amount of work to try and capture that same feeling - that same lightning in a bottle - they simply rehashed and went off-script for what they thought was both best and interesting for them to do. The sad part is: they’re right. I hope the fans enjoy this one more than I did, because I may have hyped this up more in my head. All in all, I think everything here is JUST OKAY. I’m not necessarily extraordinarily expressed or anything but I’m just content with it. I take my hat off to Curt and -more specifically- Shane for trying their best and their damndest, but I don’t know if it truly paid off, damned as the task may have been from the start. Only time will tell, I suppose. Happy Halloween, y’all!
