When a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.”
Deadline notes that Dan Trachtenberg’s movie adaptation is untitled at this time. But the family-friendly horror-comedy aims to deliver “scares and laughs to the whole family.”
Dan Trachtenberg writes on Instagram, “I’ve spent most of my career making movies that parents probably shouldn’t show their kids. I’m finally making one…they…can…?”
