  "account": "Parker Posey, known for her indie film roles, may soon don the mantle of \"Scream Queen\" with her upcoming horror film Sleepover. Variety reveals that Posey is set to star in the movie, which will be produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Pictures. The film, directed by Insidious: Out Of The Further filmmaker Jacob Chase, is based on Bryce McGuire's original short story and co-written by McGuire and Chase. McGuire, Chase, and Bea Sequeira will also serve as executive producers. The Sleepover adaptation, described as a \"quintessential sleepover nightmare,\" is set to release on October 8, 2027. Chase, who previously directed the 2020 horror thriller Come Play and the 2026 scary movie Insidious: Out Of The Further, has built a reputation for impressive horror set pieces. Posey, whose career began with indie films, has previously appeared in horror movies like Scream 3 and Blade: Trinity. She recently earned an Emmy nomination for her role as a wealthy Southern woman in The White Lotus. Blumhouse Atomic Monster seems to be planning its scares for next year, with Sleepover and Curry Barker's Anything But Ghost already on the agenda.",
