Fox 2000 has snapped up an upcoming novel to turn into a family horror comedy.
Demon Keeper, written by Royce Buckingham, follows a Seattle teen who inherits a house filled with mischievous demons. He’s faced with trying to keep the beasts inside and thwart The Thin Man, a creepy character who wants to free them and exploit them for evil.
The company feels it has a possible Harry Potter franchise on its hands, should this first film be successful.
