Dan Trachtenberg is working an animated comedy horror with Paramount Animation based on Yehudi Mercado‘s graphic novel, Freddy the 13th.

Trachtenberg is the director of 10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands, and more.

Trachtenberg will produce the animated project with Ben Rosenblatt.

Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man when a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.

Paramount Animation has said the project is a PG-rated horror film.
