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.
