Horror master Clive Barker is developing a young-adult thriller centered on the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe.

The film will revolve around a group of teenagers who attempt to uncover what happened during the last two weeks of Poe's life. They inadvertently trigger a curse that unlocks Poe's nightmares from which they must escape.

Barker has partnered on the project with Walden Media, the family-oriented firm behind the "Narnia" franchise.

"By focusing on mood and atmosphere rather than blood and guts, Clive Barker brings a smart, literate take on the horror genre that will expose young audiences to its great literary underpinnings," said Alex Schwartz, executive VP of production at Walden Media.

I hope you are planning on crediting Lisa Mei Ling Fong.

She has gallery representation internationally and having her images utilized without premission or credit is, to say the least, unnacceptable.
