TV: SyFy Adds Two More Horror Reality Shows
In a bid to further broaden its brand, Syfy is upping its commitment to the reality genre, reports THR. Fans of ‘Ghost Hunters” should be excited for the following….
The network will announce at Tuesday’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York that it has picked up a trio of reality series — “Haunted Collector,” “Legend Quest” and “Paranormal Witness” — to launch later this year. The series will join the net’s growing cadre of unscripted hits, including the allegedly faked “Ghost Hunters,” “Destination Truth” and “Face Off,” which was recently renewed for a second season.
“Haunted Collector,” a working title, centers on a family of renowned paranormal investigators who spend its time tracking down haunted items. The family then houses its collections — think guns, jewelry, paintings and dolls — in its museum. The series is from Gurney Prods.’ Scott Gurney and Deirdre Gurney.
“Paranormal Witness,” a drama-documentary series that will bring to life the stories of people who claim to have lived through paranormal experiences. Episodes will feature a mixture of first-hand testimony and gritty drama. Set to premiere in September.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
