Vampires Will Become Adorable in the Animated ‘Petit Vampire’
Joann Sfar’s Autochenille Production has teamed up with Studiocanal to create an animated feature for Petit Vampire.
Based on Sfar’s own comic, the film will follow a 300 year old vampire who has been 10 nearly his whole life and is quite simply bored. So, he decides to attend school where he befriends Michael, an orphan who is thrilled and enchanted by the Petit Vampire’s supernatural world. However, “…the terrifying Gibbus — a supernatural moon-headed creature who has sworn to destroy the living dead’s happy little community — will put many an obstacle in their path.”
Sfar’s comic has had several independent storylines, so this very well could be the beginning of a franchise, although it seems like this is a “one at a time and let’s see how it goes” situation.
Petit Vampire was also a TV series in France.

A killer loose on Halloween spells bad news for last-minute shoppers and employees at a costume shop in the upcoming campy horror comedy Halloween Store, and the official posters introduce the unlucky ensemble cast caught in the Shriek Shack.
Shane Dax Taylor (Murder Company) directs from a script by Chad Law (6 Bullets) and Josh Ridgway (The Flood).
The logline for Halloween Store reads: “a group of people find themselves trapped inside a costume store on Halloween night with a mysterious killer on the loose.“
Natalie Alyn Lind (“Dutton Ranch“, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) and Simon Rex (Red Rocket) lead the cast that includes Anthony Michael Hall (Halloween Kills), Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Nicholas Hamilton (It), Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead), Sydney Park (“The Walking Dead”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”), Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Bumblebee), Drew Ray Tanner (“Riverdale”), Kai Caster (“Spider Noir”) and Taipei Houston musicians Myles Ulrich and Layne Ulrich.
Meet the cast in the trio of official posters below, all hand-drawn by the artist Kadie Video.
It also gives a tiny glimpse of the Halloween store itself, Shriek Shack.
In addition to starring, Lind also produces Halloween Store alongside Kenneth Burke and Andrey Romanyuk. “Saturday Night Live” mainstay Kenan Thompson and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) are among the executive producers on the project.
The posters indicate Shriek Shack might be one fun romp of a destination this Halloween season.
