James Tynion IV is expanding his horror empire beyond comics and into film.

According to Deadline, Tynion’s production company Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media are developing two new horror films based on his work: Exquisite Corpses and Room Service. In this video, we break down what these projects are, why they matter, and how they fit into the growing wave of comic book–to–film adaptations.

Exquisite Corpses, the bestselling Image Comics horror series, has already sold over 500,000 copies and is being positioned as a major franchise with potential across movies, animation, and video games. Room Service, a psychological horror concept centered around a sinister hotel service that enables murder fantasies, is also being developed as a feature film with Tynion co-writing the script.

We also look at how this announcement connects to Tynion’s other upcoming adaptations, including Something Is Killing the Children at Blumhouse, W0rldtr33 at Netflix, and Tiny Onion’s growing animation slate.

If you follow horror comics, creator-owned IP, or upcoming horror movies, this is news you need to know.
