Chilling horror comic book series Something Is Killing the Children is set for its on-screen debut. Blumhouse, the horror conglomerate behind Black Phone 2 and Five Night’s At Freddy’s 2 , has acquired rights to the popular BOOM! Studios comic, announcing a feature film and adult animated series is in the works.

First published by BOOM! Studios in 2019, Something Is Killing the Children sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, making it the most successful original horror comic book since The Walking Dead . Set in a world where children can see monsters and adults cannot, the best-seller has long since piqued the interest of Hollywood. Blumhouse came out on top of a multi-company bidding war, beating out both Lionsgate and Netflix for the rights.
