HBO Max is developing a series based on Scholastic's "Point Horror" books by R.L. Stine. Variety reported that the project, currently titled Point Fear, is "described as an anthology series that exposes the horrors of being a teenager."
Although many authors have published "Point Horror" books, the series will focus on those written by Stine, with each episode inspired by a different title and "told for today's audiences but with a nostalgic nod to the 1990s," Variety noted. Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) is in negotiations to direct and executive produce the series. Stine will also executive produce along with Yvonne M. Bernard.
