Bram Stoker Award winning writer Elizabeth Massie’s “Ameri-Scares” book series (eight have been published thus far) is heading to the small screen, Deadline reports today, with Margot Robbie‘s LuckyChap Entertainment, Assemble Media and Warner Horizon teaming up to turn the spooky stories into “a family-friendly horror anthology with a road-trip spirit.”
“Every episode would take place in a different state and center on notorious local legends or spooky historical events,” Deadline notes.
“With Ameri-Scares we saw the perfect opportunity for us to delve into the horror space, and tell the kind of unique and scary stories we used to tell each other around the campfire or at sleepovers as kids,” Robbie and her company said in a statement. “We’re excited to team with our partners at Assemble and Warner Horizon to bring Elizabeth Massie’s cross-country series of thrilling mysteries and haunting folk stories to life.”
The series would either be for traditional television or for streaming.
