Norman Patridge‘s horror novel Dark Harvest is set to be adapted by David Slade, the director who brought us Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night, and “Hannibal”.
Deadline is reporting that the adaptation, written by Michael Gilio, has found a home at MGM.
The novel is set on Halloween 1963 in a small Midwestern town where “ the October Boy is the prize in an annual rite of life and death. One teen, Pete McCormick, knows that killing the October Boy is his one chance to escape a dead-end future in the one-horse town. But before the night is over, Pete will look into the saw-toothed face of horror – and discover the terrifying true secret of the October Boy.”
The casting process should begin soon. You can pick up your copy of Norman Patridge‘s Dark Harvest now on Amazon.
