Not content with bringing Scream to the small screen, it is now being reported that Wes Craven is teaming with Universal Cable Productions and Syfy to adapt his 1991 horror classic The People Under the Stairs, in what is being described as “a contemporary Downton Abbey meets Amityville Horror“.
The logline for the series reads: “When a young woman goes missing at the grand Robeson Family Manor, the search for her unveils the centuries-old horrors that lie deep within the estate.”
Furthermore, as part of his deal, Craven is also developing an adaptation of Daryl Gregory’s We Are All Completely Fine, which “tells the story of an enigmatic psychologist, Dr. Jan Sayer, who gathers survivors of five horror movie scenarios in a support group — and unwittingly unlocks the evils of her patients’ pasts. As their traumas are brought back to the surface, they uncover which monsters they face are within … and which are lurking in plain sight.”
Next up for Craven is Scream: The TV Series, which premieres on MTV on June 30th. Watch the trailer here
