‘Locke & Key’ Movies Scrubbed: A TV Show Might Happen

Published

on

At the 2014 Comic Con, Joe Hill, who was then promoting his movie Horns, revealed that Universal Pictures was turning the phenomenal comic book series “Locke & Key” into a film trilogy. Unfortunately, today that news comes crashing down as BrokeHorrorFan confirmed with Hill that there will be no films.

However, Hill also told the site that there is still hope for a television series, although it failed to gain traction on both FOX and through IDW’s own publishing venture.

The series lends itself perfectly to TV, its episodic nature creating one intense cliffhanger after another. Plus, the visuals and story arcs are absolutely fascinating and could easily create several seasons of quality entertainment, if done properly and by people who are passionate about the project.

Immaculate SXSW Horror

This weekend, Neon is releasing its highly anticipated new slice of horror Immaculate. Directed by Michael Mohan, Sydney Sweeney stars as an American nun named Cecilia who joins a remote convent in the Italian countryside. What begins as a warm welcome quickly devolves into a living nightmare as Cecilia discovers her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors. You can see it with a crowd this Friday.

In anticipation, Halloweenies co-host/executive producer Michael Roffman sits down with director Michael Mohan to discuss how he approached making his first horror film. Together, the two chat about the effects of religious horror in 2024, Sweeney’s Scream Queen magic, the ending everyone’s going to be talking about, and why Horror needs zero rules. He also offers some choice Horror recommendations.
