Demon of Brownsville Road movie coming from New Line Cinema

New Line Cinema has had incredible success digging into the case files of real life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren and bringing their reports of paranormal events to the screen in the Conjuring films – so much that it has even allowed the studio to use those films as the basis of a "Conjuring Universe". So it's no surprise to hear that they're interested in making more "based on a true story" supernatural horror films.

New Line has hired Minnie Schedeen to write the screenplay adaptation of Bob Cranmer and Erica Manfred's 2014 novel The Demon of Brownsville Road (pick up a copy HERE), which 

chronicles the harrowing true story of one family’s battle against the evil that possessed their home and tormented their lives.

The description of the book offers more details:

October 1988: Bob Cranmer buys a house in the Pittsburgh suburb he grew up in. He has no idea that his dream home is about to become his worst nightmare…

The Cranmers seemed fated to own the house at 3406 Brownsville Road. As a young boy, Bob had been drawn to the property, and, just when the family decided to move back to Brentwood, it went up for sale. Without a second thought, they purchased the house that Bob had always dreamed of owning.

But soon, the family began experiencing strange phenomena—objects moving on their own, ghostly footsteps, unsettling moaning sounds—that gradually increased in violence, escalating to physical assaults and, most disturbingly, bleeding walls. Bob, Lesa, and their four children were under attack from a malicious demon that was conjuring up terrifying manifestations to destroy their tight-knit household. They had two choices: leave or draw on their unwavering faith to exorcise the malicious fiend who haunted their home.

Now, Bob Cranmer recounts the harrowing true story of the evil presence that tormented his family and the epic spiritual war he fought to save everything he held dear…

Well, if The Demon of Brownsville Road turns out to be even close to as good as The Conjuring, we should be in for a good time with this one.
