This sounds like Pumpkinhead for the internet age. We dig it.

EW reports today that Jeffrey Reddick, the man who created and co-wrote highly unique slasher film Final Destination, just sold a new TV pilot titled “The Feed” to Andrew van den Houten’s Hood River Entertainment. Based on an original idea by Roy Crabaugh, the pilot was developed by both Reddick and Stephen Twardokus. It’s been written and will soon be shot.

The Feed is a supernatural series about a demon, created by online hatred, negativity, and vitriol, that uses technology to manipulate, torment, and kill its victims. The plan is for each season to explore a different aspect of American culture, and bring to light characters’ deepest fears, as the demon grows stronger and stronger.

In season 1, the demon infects the smart house of a prominent African-American family and exploits the insidious undercurrent of racism in their community to terrorize them and tear the family apart.

Season 2 focuses on a middle-class, Christian family whose beliefs are warped by the demon to turn their town against them. A group of demonologists and computer hackers will team up with survivors of each season to form a resistance intent on stopping the demon before it grows strong enough to infiltrate technology everywhere.

Said Reddick, “Get Out proved you can scare the hell out of people by examining the darkness that festers just below the surface of life. The Feed is a supernatural thriller, but the real world horrors, the scary way people can be manipulated through social media and the evil that we are capable of inflicting on each other are the themes that I’m really excited about exploring.”

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
