Warner Bros. is developing a film adaptation of Siren Head, the internet-born monster created by Canadian artist Trevor Henderson. Zach Cregger and Brian Duffield will co-write the script, with Duffield directing. The project follows recent Hollywood interest in online horror phenomena, after A24's The Backrooms became a box office hit.
Warner Bros. is moving forward with a feature film based on Siren Head, the emaciated, siren-headed monster that originated in 2018 illustrations by Canadian artist Trevor Henderson. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news. Zach Cregger, whose credits include the upcoming film Weapons, and Brian Duffield, who wrote The Boy Who Fell from a Whale and Predator: Badlands, will co-write the script. Duffield will also direct. No cast or release date has been set.
Siren Head spread from Henderson's art into indie horror games, YouTube playthroughs by creators like PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye, and TikTok videos that turned the giant speaker-headed figure into a meme. The film joins a wave of internet-born horror adaptations: A24's The Backrooms, released in May, grossed over $200 million worldwide, and a Skibidi Toilet movie is in early talks at Paramount with Michael Bay attached.
