Summary
Zach Cregger and Brian Duffield are set to co-write Warner Bros.’ “Siren Head” feature, with Duffield likely to direct the adaptation of Trevor Henderson’s viral horror creation.
Warner Bros. beat five rival studios for the rights after the pair found a take on the fan-built mythology that helped trigger a bidding war limited to theatrical distributors.
Siren Head began as a 2018 drawing, became a 2020 short film, and has since drawn about 240 million views around its towering creature with sirens for a head.
The project gives Warner Bros. a creature-driven internet-horror property with established audience recognition, echoing industry hopes for another breakout in the mold of “Backrooms.”
