Supernatural and The Walking Dead alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan is making his next project a horror!

Screen Daily has announced the actor will star in Felix opposite The Haunting of Bly Manor and Sandman‘s Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, with producer Joe Carnahan (The Grey, Boss Level) attached to produce the project from director John Kissack (horror-thriller Everfall) and writer Casey Giltner.

Felix is being billed as Super 8 meets Child’s Play, and follows best friends Charlie and Jimmy on their quest to becoming big-time Hollywood directors. The pair are making a film when Charlie’s father finds an old ventriloquist’s doll named Felix among his late mother’s belongings – prompting the boys to cast the doll as the creepy antagonist (how could they not?).

Through a chain of increasingly sinister and disturbing events, the family discovers that Felix has a mind of his own, and it’s up to Charlie and Jimmy to rid their family of this ominous force. Hopefully Morgan’s time chasing ghosts, demons, and other monsters with the Winchester boys will have prepared him for this one.

Filming is scheduled to begin this spring in Winnipeg, Canada.
