IDW’s Horror ‘Dungeon’ Adapted into Movie

IDW’s Dungeon Dives Into the Big Screen

IDW’s spine-chilling series, Dungeon, embarks on a fresh journey. Spooky Pictures, along with IDW Entertainment, is setting the stage for a film adaptation. This horror tale promises to stand alongside classics like Silence of the Lambs and Se7en.

"There’s no shortage of serial killer stories," says Steven Schneider, co-founder of Spooky Pictures. Yet Dungeon sets itself apart by exploring uncharted territories of terror. Schneider shares how the tale grips readers, haunting them long after the pages close. The film adaptation is anticipated eagerly.

A Tale of Paranoia and Secrets

The narrative follows a family moving from New York City to upstate New York. They hope for tranquility but instead find a dark secret, literally beneath them—a dungeon loaded with torture devices and a menacing message: "TELL NO ONE.” The father soon realizes the perilous existence of this secret. The chilling thought lurks: anyone in their seemingly peaceful new town could be the mind behind the dungeon.

Creator Scott Snyder and artist Hayden Sherman, the minds behind Dark Spaces: Wildfire, deliver yet another gripping tale. "This book was a special one to make," shares Sherman, emphasizing the exploration of deep-seated human fears.

A Collaboration Born of Horror

Bringing this story to film isn’t just a business move—it’s a collaboration of horror brands. Daniel Kendrick, IDW’s Senior Vice President of Film & TV, highlights IDW’s delight in partnering with Spooky Pictures. Their history of keeping audiences at the edge of their seats promises a faithful and terrifying on-screen adaptation.

Dungeon, already acclaimed as a top horror comic, mesmerizes readers with twisted turns and shocking revelations. "Ever since development began," Kendrick notes, "the storyline’s terrifying twists have captivated us."

From Comics to Cinema

Snyder reflects on the intense journey of creating Dungeon. He describes the series as both a career highlight and an unforgettable exploration of dark themes. “I couldn’t be more thrilled,” Snyder enthuses about Spooky Pictures and IDW’s initiative to bring Dungeon to a wider audience. Sherman echoes this sentiment, adding that the cinematic leap allows their creation to grow beyond its origins.

Fans and newcomers alike can dive into this dark narrative with the collected edition, available now. The collaboration between IDW and Spooky Pictures signals a promising venture into the visual medium. This adaptation aims to resonate with the original’s haunting atmosphere, leaving audiences breathless.
