Comic books and films have long shared a sinister bond, but when horror enters the frame, the thrill becomes irresistible. Horror is more than jump scares; it is the groan of floorboards, shadows that twist unnaturally, mist curling through empty halls, and a score that tightens the chest. Deaths can shock, terrify, or even darkly amuse, while every cinematic tool conspires to unsettle. Now, another comic adaptation is generating immense buzz.

The terrifying comic Something Is Killing the Children is coming to screens with Blumhouse, promising chilling movie and series adaptations.

Blumhouse, the horror powerhouse behind Black Phone 2 and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, has acquired the rights to Something Is Killing the Children, the acclaimed comic by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera. The franchise will be developed simultaneously as a live-action feature film and an adult animated television series, with Tynion IV overseeing the TV adaptation. First published in 2019 by BOOM! Studios, the comic has sold over five million copies worldwide, translated into more than twenty languages, and stands as the most successful original horror comic since The Walking Dead.

Lionsgate and Netflix showed interest for the rights to Something Is Killing the Children. But Blumhouse ultimately secured the project, drawn to the story of children who can see monsters that adults cannot. As the adaptation generates buzz, fans are turning their attention to the creators behind the story.
