It Follows' David Robert Mitchell is writing a horror script about a killer sound

David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows was all about how naked people are scary (unless you subscribe to high-minded concepts like “metaphors”), and now he’s writing a horror script based around a similarly simple fear. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mitchell is writing an full-length adaptation of Julian Terry’s short film They Hear It, which centers on a killer entity called “The Sound” that does horrible things to anyone who hears it. According to THR’s sources, the movie will be a combination of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and Stephen King’s It, so we assume it’ll have a scene where a group of loser kids have to carefully and quietly make their way past a flock of dangerous… sounds. It’s hard to visualize what they’re going for here, but Mitchell has earned the benefit of the doubt.
