Manga maestro Junji Ito's vampire story Bloodsucking Darkness is being turned into a film

A vampire bat

One of the Junji Ito's short horror stories is set to be adapted into a live action film by Fangoria Studios. Bloodsucking Darkness, a vampire tale with a surreal twist, is one of three features based on Ito's work currently in development at the studio, though the other two have yet to be formally announced. 

The film will be written and executive produced by Jeff Howard, best known for his work with Mike Flanagan on Netflix's adaptation of The Haunting Of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
