We’ve all had one. A Scary Teacher. But have you played the game? Deadline reports this morning that the viral video game Scary Teacher is getting a horror movie adaptation.
Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum are developing the feature film adaptation of the Scary Teacher video game, with Cory Todd Hughes and Adrian Speckert writing the script.
The video game follows a sadistic teacher who tortures her students.
Deadline details, “Scary Teacher has billions of views across various YouTube channels. Centered on the character Miss T, an intimidating teacher who terrorizes students Nick and Tani, the game combines horror, comedy and stealth gameplay as players infiltrate Miss T’s house, avoid her traps and devise elaborate pranks while uncovering the secrets hidden inside her home.”
The Scary Teacher movie is said to be a “faithful and elevated horror take that will retain the franchise’s signature combination of suspense, dark humor and coming-of-age emotion.”
“Everyone remembers at least one teacher who made school feel impossible,” Cory Todd Hughes and Adrian Speckert said in a statement. “High school is one of the most formative and often most intimidating periods of our lives. Scary Teacher gives us an opportunity to explore those universal anxieties through the lens of an entertaining horror film while telling a story about growing up, overcoming fear and finding the courage to stand up for yourself. We’re incredibly excited to work alongside Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum, RK Films and the creators of the franchise to bring Miss T, Nick and Tani to audiences around the world in a way that longtime fans will love while introducing entirely new audiences to this unforgettable world.”
The video game was created by ZNK Games.
