Osgood Perkins Adapting Horror Novel ‘A Head Full Of Ghosts”

Osgood Perkins has become a heavy hitter in the horror genre, delivering films like The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel, which just arrived in theaters. So, you may be wondering what’s next for Perkins. According to Bloody Disgusting, he’s next doing a loose adaptation of Paul G. Tremblay‘s A Head Full of Ghosts which won the 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel.

A24 has announced the release the February of the long-awaited genre film ‘The Blackcoat’s Daughter’ from writer-director Osgood Perkins.
