Come to think of it, The Wizard of Oz has inspired enough surreal childhood nightmares that it pretty much qualifies as a horror film already, no?
Frank Baum’s fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has proven a malleable property over the years.
And today brings the news that the merry old land of Oz will get yet another new spin, and this time, there will be blood.
The Hollywood Reporter has the exclusive that New Line has purchased a horror script from up-and-coming screenwriter Mike Van Waes that refashions the story of Dorothy Gale and Toto lost in Oz as a gory tale of terror.
