‘IT’ Writer Penning ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ Movie for Paramount!
At long last, the ’90s TV series is becoming a movie!
Those who have found memories of being creeped out by Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” in their childhoods will be happy to hear that Paramount Players is developing the property as a feature film, hiring hot horror writer Gary Dauberman (IT, Annabelle: Creation) to write the script.
“The show revolved around a group of teenagers who referred to themselves as The Midnight Society. Every week, at a secret location in the woods, one members would tell a scary story to the rest of the group, some of which were based on public domain fairy tales, short stories or urban legends.”
The exciting news comes courtesy of Tracking Board tonight, the site additionally noting that plot details are under wraps and Matt Kaplan is on board to produce. Dauberman will also produce.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
