Blumhouse Producing Family-Geared Horror Film

Blumhouse Productions, the seemingly omnipresenters of current studio horror are teaming with director Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid 2010, The Mortal Instruments) for a family-oriented horror film. 

Though details, including plot, aren’t revealed, THR reports the script for the family film comes from R. Ben Garant. Garant is likely best known as the screenwriting partner of Thomas Lennon. The two co-created Reno! 911, co-wrote and co-directed Hell Baby and were co-creators on cult comedy series The State. They’ve penned a slate of family comedies in between edgier fare and Garant recently wrote Blumhouse horror Jessabelle, solo.

Again, no word on the film’s story, but hopefully Jason Blum, Zwart, Garant & Co. are aiming for a sweet spot along the lines of The Monster Squad, a film that can act as a cool gateway for kids developing interest in cool stuff like creatures and monsters and horror.
