A C from that place is basically an A for a horror film; it's highly unreliable in terms of the genre. They almost always have a bad score up for every film no matter what it is, unless it's something like IT or Halloween perhaps.

Yes, I'm well aware that horror movies tend to get low marks from CinemaScore polling, but a C is still generally on the low end for horror.

The past year of horror movies with CinemaScore info looks like this:

B+: Halloween
B: Crawl, Us, Happy Death Day 2U, Escape Room
B-: Annabelle Comes Home, Ma, The Curse of La Llorona
C+: Midsommar, Child's Play, Pet Sematary, The Prodigy
C: Hell Fest, The Nun
C-: The Possession of Hannah Grace
D-: Slender Man

Looking further back, B+ isn't exactly an unheard-of score for horror (A Quiet Place, It as you mentioned, etc.), while A- has even happened in a select few cases (The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Sixth Sense).

Overall, horror CinemaScores are typically 2-3 sub-grades below the average movie, so Scary Stories is more like a B or B-, which is still lackluster.
