Mancini will serve as writer and executive producer.

For over 30 years, Ive been scaring the st out of you.

But now at Syfy, I look forward to really making a difference.

Thats really exciting to me.

Were going to be able to explore different avenues with different characters that are among fan favorites.

A lot of times people will say, Whats Tiffanys backstory?

and What about Glen or Glenda?

All these different avenues.

Now we have a way of exploring all of this, and thats really exciting.

The film is directed by Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) and stars Aubrey Plaza.
