A feature-length film adaptation of the internet horror character Jeff the Killer is in the works, with creator-driven studio Tongal and TikTok creator Savanah Moss producing. Moss, known for her horror-comedy short videos, will produce alongside Mark Korshak and Michael McKay. No director, screenwriter, cast, or release date has been announced yet.
The project page for the film has been set up on Tongal's web service, signaling early development. Savanah Moss, who has about 11.4 million followers on TikTok, is attached as a producer, joined by Mark Korshak and Michael McKay. Moss told TheWrap that the film will not simply reproduce existing creepypasta but will depict Jeff as a terrifying being as if he actually exists. She also noted the appeal that much of the character was created by the internet.
Jeff the Killer is a creepypasta that spread globally from the late 2000s to the 2010s, known for an edited image of a white-faced figure with the phrase 'Go to sleep.' The character has no official settings, having been shaped by users adding stories over time.
