In the wake of Marvel’s Doctor Strange, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Sinister director Scott Derrickson is headed back to horror with “Kill Creek,“ a small screen adaptation of Scott Thomas’ same-named novel. As reported by Deadline today, Derrickson will executive produce the hour-long drama series for Showtime, while also directing.
“In Kill Creek, when best-selling horror author Sam McGarver and three fellow masters of the macabre reluctantly agree to spend Halloween night in one of the country’s most infamous haunted houses, their presence awakens an entity that will torment and threaten to make them a part of Kill Creek’s bloody legacy.”
Thomas will pen the adaptation and executive produce with Green, Derrickson, Adam Gomolin and Andrew Lazar (American Sniper) and Elisa Ellis (Narcos) for Platform One Media, which optioned the novel. “Underground” co-creator Misha Green is also exec producing.
Showtime and Platform One Media will co-produce.
