They wanted to capture that transitional moment in children’s lives just like the film. Iaconis recalled that his then eleven-year-old son read the novel at the time and convinced his dad to give it the movie treatment. Co-writers Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis (both from The Curse of La Llorona and Five Feet Apart), who have a history of working together spoke with Creative Screenwriting Magazine about adapting the book for the screen.Īs long time horror movie fans, Nightbooks was the screenwriters’ opportunity to dabble in the gateway horror space.
White, the film tells a story of Natacha (Krysten Ritter), a wicked witch who craves scary stories, a trapped boy Alex (Winslow Fegley) who writes them, and his friend Yasmin (Lidya Jewett) who helps him escape.
Following in the youthful footsteps of the gateway horror genre, Nightbooks graced our screens by infusing fantastical and mystery elements to the genre.
