‘Thirteen Ghosts: The Series’ Creators Share Inventive New Details [Interview]
For years, horror fans have fantasized about getting a television adaptation of Thirteen Ghosts. And at long last, this dream could be on the fast track to becoming a reality.
Patrick Mediate (Primordial Pictures), Ashley Robinson (co-producer, Fear the Walking Dead), and Aaron McLane (SFX Supervisor, Fear the Walking Dead) are teaming up to develop a fascinating and downright necessary TV version of Thirteen Ghosts. Now, this creative trio joins me for a new episode of the Development Hell podcast to discuss their pitch and unpack what it will actually take to get this show made.
Listen to the new episode here:
The filmmakers also recently shared an exclusive update with Dread Central announcing their partnership with Dark Castle Entertainment to develop and pitch a Thirteen Ghosts television series to Sony Pictures Television. While nothing has been officially greenlit yet, we’re still psyched at the idea of this new series.
Per the official pitch:
“Every culture in the world has its ghost stories, and this re-imagining of Thirteen Ghosts presents an international sampling of these supernatural tales. The ghost stories within each episode will have their own stylistic look and feel that will be explored and influenced by each individual director. This makes our ghost vignettes stand out stylistically as they set the theme for each episode.”
