Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands) is directing the horror-comedy Freddy the 13th for Paramount Animation.

The adaptation of the graphic novel from Yehudi Mercado sees a family vacation turn into a nightmare when fun Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the Boogeyman and takes on his powers.

The official synopsis for the comic book further details, “Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man. When a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.”
