From Wikipedia: In a typical Fighting Fantasy book, the reader will take the role of the story’s protagonist, making the character’s choices and following their own path through the story. The series distinguished itself from similar series with its use of a dice system which added a role-playing element to the books. Most of the Fighting Fantasy books were set in the fantasy world of Titan, although some are set in science fiction, horror and other fantasy settings.
So it’s like those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books right? I remember the ‘Goosebumps’ series had a bunch of those didn’t they? Anyway, that explains what “Fighting Fantasy” is, so let’s move right into today’s news! The word over at Variety has a deal in place to bring the “Fighting Fantasy” entry HOUSE OF HELL to the screen! Now no telling if this’ll be a theatrical release or a straight-to-DVD type of deal but we’re going to run with it anyway!
Super Team Film Productions scored the rights to the project, which comes from creator Steve Jackson. According to Super Team producer Ian Paterson there will eventually be an interactive version of the feature available online and on Blu-Ray. Nice. The only other ‘interactive movie’ I can think of is RETURN TO THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and we all know how that turned out…
HOUSE OF HELL follows the story of a stranded young couple who seek shelter in an abandoned house.
Simple enough right? And if that cover above is any indication we’re in for a killer good time! Unfortunately these are the only details we’ve got for HOUSE OF HELL but be sure to keep it here for more as we hear it!
