It pains me to hear that it took nearly 7 years for Mark Carter to get this project off the ground, but it sounds like it may have been worth the wait. I hope you're ready for a horror celebration, 'cause I know I am! Carter, who had made an award-winning short called "The Ballad of Little Roger Mead," will be adapting David Prill's 1996 satirical novel SErIAL Killer Days, set in a town that celebrates the annual arrival of a serial killer with a parade and a pageant. The macabre sense of humor was very Charles Addams-ish, Carter recalls. Execs at Paramount have likened the tone to Scream and Disturbia. I hope to deliver the expected genre conventions but do it in an idiosyncratic, richly layered and unexpected world, says Carter. There will also be lots of blood. Color me every shade of excited.
