No sooner do we catch wind of TV versions of The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby being in the works than we get word that another big screen-to-small screen horror adaptation in preparing to film. According to Production Weekly, a TV series based on the From Dusk Till Dawn vampire franchise will begin shooting in October in Austin, Texas. There’s no word on the show’s plot, but the movies revolved around Mexican vampires who frequent a remote desert strip club that they use to lure their prey.

If you think there are too many big-screen horror remakes nowadays, you might not want to turn on your TV for the next few years.
