Recent years have seen added excitement around the Tales for a Halloween Night series, thanks to Carpenter and partner Sandy King Carpenter collaborating to adapt the concept into a TV series. The project was being developed with SYFY at one point, though Carpenter confirmed in 2019 that this iteration of the project wouldn’t be moving forward.

When asked by ComicBook.com if the Tales for a Halloween Night TV series had completely stagnated, Carpenter admitted, “Oh no, it’s alive at Paramount now.”

Since that update, no further details about the TV series have officially been revealed.
