The Craft writer Peter Filardi has been approached about turning the 1996 teen horror classic into a Broadway musical, Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned.

He continues, “These people with a track record of doing Broadway musicals approached me and asked me if I had the rights and if I was interested.

“I would love it if it happened,” Filardi adds.
