Every House Is Haunted finds new home at 20th Century Studios
The long-awaited horror film Every House Is Haunted has finally found its destiny, landing a massive new home at 20th Century Studios. What was once a project languishing in development hell has officially moved from the screens of Netflix to the blockbuster landscape of Hollywood, signaling that this haunting story is ready for the big screen.
This shift is significant, offering the unsettling premise a chance to finally find the spotlight it deserves. The project, which originated as a Netflix production, now benefits from the fresh energy of a major studio, promising a potential elevation in scope and production.
The foundation of the film is built upon Ian Rogers’ chilling short story, The House on Ashley Avenue. But it is the creative team attached to the project that brings a familiar yet exciting dynamic to the haunted house narrative. Directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto are now taking the reins, set to reimagine the screenplay by Jason Pagan and Andrew Deutschman.
Schindler and Netto bring a unique pedigree to the project. They have a history of working together, having previously collaborated with Sam Raimi on films like 50 States of Fright and Don’t Move. This history suggests a knack for crafting suspenseful, tightly paced thrillers that resonate with audiences.
Their involvement is not an isolated event; they have also been actively working on other high-stakes projects, including post-production for the survival thriller Nightwatching, starring Mila Kunis and Corey Hawkins, produced by Ridley Scott. This involvement showcases a team comfortable handling intense, atmospheric storytelling.
The story itself promises a compelling psychological journey. Every House Is Haunted centers on an insurance investigator who sets out to debunk claims of a haunted residence. His initial skepticism quickly crumbles when he encounters a psychic and begins witnessing mysterious occurrences that are far more unsettling than he ever anticipated.
While the focus remains firmly on the atmosphere and the psychological dread, the opportunity for 20th Century Studios is to elevate this concept into a mainstream horror experience. Although a specific release date and cast details are yet to be announced, the acquisition ensures that the unsettling world of Every House Is Haunted is about to embark on its journey to the big screen.
