Junji Ito is one of the masters of horror, so of course, it was only a matter of time before the manga artist teamed up with Fangoria. The beloved magazine is delving back into the world of film production with the creator of Tomie and Uzumaki on hand. Today, new reports confirmed Fangoria is working with Through the Lens Entertainment to co-produce adaptations of three Ito classics.
According to the update, Ito has agreed to have the co-producers tackle three gnarly tales. Bloodsucking Darkness is on the table as well as The Mystery of the Haunted House part one and part two. At this time, no production status has been given for the projects, but Fangoria is hard at work with Through the Lens Entertainment.
After all, the two brands said in a statement today that their partnership was struck to bring “accurate manga adaptations” to the screen. To be specific, the collaboration wants to “redefine the horror and manga experience, offering fans an immersive journey into the macabre through motion pictures.” Fans of Ito would love nothing more than this goal to become a reality, and the same goes for Aditya Chand, the owner of Through the Lens Entertainment.
