Having vampires being the subject matter has some pretty decent timing with Ryan Coogler‘s “Sinners” doing quite well at the box office, then again, horror has been one of the more stable genres post-COVID, as horror fans tend to be a little more open-minded about unique concepts.

“Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story” isn’t the only upcoming movie coming to theaters based on the work of Hill, as Scott Derrickson‘s “Black Phone 2” stems from another short story.
