By asahifile Blumhouse Is Adapting Something Is Killing the Children for Live-Action Film and Animated Series – Please Let This Be Good!
Blumhouse Productions is set to bring the acclaimed horror comic series Something Is Killing the Children to both the big screen and as an animated series. The announcement has been made by The Hollywood Reporter, although specific details regarding casting and release timelines remain under wraps.
Originally created by writer James Tynion IV and illustrator Werther Dell’Edera, Something Is Killing the Children follows the chilling tale of monster hunter Erica Slaughter, who operates in a world where children, uniquely, can perceive the lurking monsters. Interestingly, a Netflix adaptation of the series was initially in development, led by the creators of Dark, Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese, but that project was ultimately shelved last year.
This news follows an exciting trend of comic adaptations heading to TV and film, with similar announcements, such as Charles Burns’ Black Hole making its way to Netflix, which has fans feeling cautiously optimistic about these transformations.
As fans eagerly await more details, the hope is that these adaptations will capture the essence of the source material and deliver thrilling new experiences in horror entertainment. Fingers crossed that they don’t miss the mark!
