Blumhouse<\/a><\/strong> has found its next big horror franchise.<\/p>\n Founded in 2000 by Jason Blum<\/a> and Amy Israel, Blumhouse Productions<\/a> has been heavily involved in some of the most iconic horror franchises of the past 25 years, including Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister, The Purge, M3GAN, The Black Phone, Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s, and more.<\/p>\n Per The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, it has now been announced that Blumhouse has won a \u201cmulti-company bidding war\u201d for the rights to adapt the Boom! Studios comic Something Is Killing the Children<\/a> by James Tynion IV<\/a> and Werther Dell\u2019Edera.<\/p>\n Blumhouse plans to turn the comic into both a big-screen and small-screen franchise. A live-action feature film will be developed at the same time that the studio also works on an adult animated television series, the latter of which will be \u201cshepherded by Tynion.\u201d<\/p>\n Blum will produce the live-action movie alongside Stephen Christy and Tynion, while Shaun Sutton, Ryan Turek, Adam Yoelin, and Mette Norkjaer will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s easy to see why audiences and critics alike have praised\u00a0Something is Killing the Children,\u201d Blum said in a statement. \u201cJames and Werther\u2019s comic book series taps into our most primal fears, luring us into a fascinating world and introducing Erica Slaughter, the ass-kicking hero we all wish we had to fight the monsters that lurk in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n A description of the comic series reads, \u201cIn a sleepy town in the heart of America, children have started to die in horrific ways. The local police are mystified by the brutal murders, and frantic to catch the killer. But they refuse to believe reports of impossible creatures that lurk in the shadows snatching children and tearing them to pieces, especially since the only people who claim to have seen these so-called monsters are other children. Enter Erica Slaughter, a mysterious stranger who rides into town and claims she can solve their \u2018monster\u2019 problem. But can the townspeople trust this dangerous outsider with their children\u2019s lives? And more importantly, can the children trust this strange adult with their secrets?\u201d<\/p>\n No release dates for any of Blumhouse\u2019s Something Is Killing the Children projects have been announced at this time.<\/p>\n The post Blumhouse\u2019s Next Big Horror Movie & TV Franchise Is Based on a Popular Comic<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blumhouse has found its next big horror franchise.
