Teen Horror 'Scared Stiff' Gets Adapted

[Monday, November 29th, 2004]
Director William Moreing (Joyful Partaking) is adapting bestseller Scared Stiff, according to Variety.

Story concerns a teenage brother and sister who live above their parents' mortuary business. They must stop the corpse of a mass murderer that has come back to life and is out for revenge.

"The potential audience for Scared Stiff is huge," said Moreing of the 9- to 16-year-old market. "There are many R-rated horror films released every year but virtually none made for younger teens and pre-teens."

The movie will have less graphic violence than an R-rated movie and will emphasize friendship as the teens survive by leaning on each other and finding the strength to overcome the odds.
