“Sorority House Massacre”: Norman Reedus Producing a TV Series Adaptation of the ’80s Slasher
Well that’s a headline I never expected to write.
Deadline is reporting today that the 1986 slasher Sorority House Massacre, which spawned two sequels, is now getting a television series, with Norman Reedus producing!
The “Walking Dead” star is producing the series under his new bigbaldhead banner, joining forces with Shout! Studios and Robert Schwartzman’s Utopia Originals.
“I could not be more excited to collaborate with Robert and his incredible team at Utopia on this project,” said Norman Reedus. “Their taste and creative vision are inspiring, and exactly in line with the kind of content that bigbaldhead set out to develop. We are thrilled to revisit this cult classic and create something truly unique.”
Stephen Trask (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) is also involved in the project.
The 1986 original was produced by Roger Corman and written/directed by Carol Frank.
In the slasher movie, “College student Beth and her sorority sisters are stalked by an escaped psychopathic killer who shares a strange telepathic link with her.”
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
