Horror film adapts bestseller about spooky superstore

The novel "Horrorstör," a New York Times bestseller known for its unique take on the haunted-house trope, is being developed into a feature film. The story is set within Orsk, a fictional furniture superstore that functions similarly to IKEA, and becomes the site of unexplained phenomena. Broken furniture, mysterious messes, and inexplicable damage begin appearing overnight, prompting the store manager to enlist employees to stay after hours to uncover the cause.

This adaptation project has attracted significant attention from producers. The script was most recently drafted by the writer behind the horror-comedy "Warm Bodies." Several production entities are involved, with plans to bring the spooky narrative to the screen. The author of "Horrorstör" has a track record of successful genre works, with multiple titles established at major studios.
