The producers of the acclaimed indie horror Late Night with the Devil will be adapting Dark Spaces: Dungeon, Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman’s horror comic. Spooky Pictures, the company run by Steven Schneider and Roy Lee, is teaming up with IDW Entertainment on the project.

Published as a five issue miniseries in 2023 and 2024, Dungeon sees its story begin when a family moves from NYC to upstate New York to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. However, their father’s dream of a quiet rural life is shattered when he discovers a dungeon underneath their land, filled with torture devices, weapons, and a threatening message on the wall that reads: ‘Tell No One’. The discovery sets up a paranoid serial kidnapping mystery where no one, not even the father’s child, is safe, and not even the FBI agent assigned to the case can help.

“There’s no shortage of serial killer stories in the marketplace; the challenge is finding one that is both terrifying and goes to places we haven’t seen before,” stated Schneider. “Dungeon is it… And even as longtime fans and producers in the genre, we found ourselves haunted by what we read. This is our Silence of the Lambs and Se7en.”

As well as Late Night with the Devil, Schneider has worked on the Insidious and Paranormal Activity films, as well as having executive produced M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit, Split, Knock at the Cabin, and his most recent vehicle, Trap. Roy Lee, meanwhile, is known for his work on Barbarian, the newly-released Companion, and last year’s Strange Darling.
