Locke and Key is a comic book published by IDW that is written and created by the New York Times best selling author Joe Hill, the son of legendary horror writer Stephen King. Locke and Key is the story of a mansion, called keyhouse, that has all sorts of doors in it that transform the people that walk through them. There is also a hate-filled creature in the house that will stop at nothing to open a specific door that hide something terrible.
Fox had optioned the series to produce as a TV show, but changed their minds after filming the pilot. They passed on the show not because they thought it wouldn’t do well, but because it would have been too expensive to keep the quality of the show as high as they wanted to. Here is the trailer for the Locke and Key television show that was set to air on Fox.
I myself have never read the series, but after watching this trailer I think I’m gonna check it out!
