Every Upcoming Grady Hendrix Book-To-Screen Adaptation
The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Paperbacks From Hell, a non-fiction book exploring the history of 70s and 80s horror fiction, Grady Hendrix is obsessed with all things spooky and scary, and this not only bleeds into his outrageously-fun fiction books but his excursions into screenwriting too.
Hendrix has written many horror stories, including the bestsellers Horrorstör, about a haunted IKEA-esque store, and The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires, described as Steel Magnolias meetsDracula. He wears his cinematic inspirations on his sleeve with My Best Friend's Exorcism and The Final Girl Support Group — the former's cover even resembles an 80s VHS tape — and now his books are about to become movies (and series) themselves. Like general audiences, it seems big studios can't get enough of the author, greenlighting many Hendrix book-to-screen adaptations that can be enjoyed as soon as the end of the month. From Horrorstör to BadAsstronauts, here's a list of them all.

Horrorstör is a horror comedy novel about an IKEA-esque store named ORSK in Cleveland, Ohio that appears to be haunted. Each day, the employees of ORSK come to work to find the big-box furniture store trashed. To investigate the matter, five young employees volunteer to work an overnight shift and soon encounter strange paranormal activity.
The book, described by critics as laugh-out-loud funny, inventive, and disarming, was originally intended to be a Fox (then AMC) TV series, executive produced by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Josh Schwartz. That plan, however, fell through, and now Horrorstör is being made into a feature-length film developed by New Republic Pictures.
