Eric Kripke, creator of Supernatural will adapt a series of books by John Bellairs, starting with The House With a Clock In Its Walls.

Mythology Entertainment (created by Bradley J. Fischer, Laeta Kalogridis and James Venderbilt) will produce.

The novels follow "orphaned protagonist Lewis as he moves into his uncle's spooky old Victorian mansion. Strange noises lead the lad to find secret passageways, hidden rooms and the unsettling discovery his peculiar uncle is a warlock. The boy finds his spell book and unwittingly resurrects an evil wizard who sets in motion a chain of supernatural events tied to an ancient secret hidden within the mansion's walls."

After Bellairs died, the series was continued by Brad Strickland.
