Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell has been a staple in children's horror since its publication in 1981, along with its two sequels, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (1984), and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones (1991). And today, Matters talks about one of the less supernatural, more psychological horror stories from the final book in the series, Scary Stories 3, titled, "Maybe You Will Remember," that draws inspiration from a 1950 movie, So Long at the Fair, and famous urban legends about a Vanishing Hotel Room.
