Boom! Studios and renowned horror production company Blumhouse Productions have revealed their collaboration to bring the acclaimed comic book series ‘Something is Killing the Children’ to life on screen. The series, created by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, follows the story of Erica Slaughter, a monster hunter in a world where only children can see the monsters.
Blumhouse will develop ‘Something is Killing the Children’ into both a live-action feature film and an adult animated TV series. Co-creator James Tynion IV will oversee the animated series, while Werther Dell’Edera will serve as co-executive producer and visual development consultant. The feature film will be produced by Boom! Studios development president Stephen Christy, with Adam Yoelin and Mette Norkjaer as executive producers, and Werther Dell’Edera as co-producer.
James Tynion IV expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “‘Something is Killing the Children’ is the comic book that changed my life and career forever. Finding a partner who understood the potential of Erica Slaughter and the world we have created was crucial, and we have found that partner in Jason Blum of Blumhouse. I can’t wait for the world to see what we have planned together.”
Boom! Studios development president Stephen Christy also shared his enthusiasm, saying, “Developing ‘Something Is Killing the Children’ with Blumhouse is a significant moment for Boom! Studios. Jason Blum’s commitment to honoring James and Werther’s vision is truly commendable, and we are thrilled to partner with Blumhouse to bring this captivating story to the big and small screens.”
The success of the series has led Boom! Studios to announce a 100-issue run for ‘Something is Killing the Children,’ with a new event series titled ‘Fall of the House of Slaughter’ unveiled at New York Comic-Con in 2025, leading up to the release of the 50th issue in 2026.
