“Stranger Things” producer Shawn Levy has just been announced to join forces with James Wan (The Conjuring) to bring YA author Stephanie Perkins’ NYT bestselling coming-of-age slasher “There’s Someone Inside Your House” to Netflix.
The book revolves around “a young girl whose high school friends inexplicably begin to die in a series of gruesome murders” and Deadline reports that the project is “similar in tone to Netflix’s Stranger Things: think 1980s and ’90s slasher movie meets a John Hughes coming-of-age tale like The Breakfast Club.”
James Wan is not due to direct.
However, Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and Wan’s Atomic Monster are producing alongside Dan Cohen and Michael Clear from a script written by Henry Gayden (Earth To Echo).

And then … one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn’t know who’s next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for … literally.
