Netflix Buys Horror Story from Reddit

Netflix has made a "low seven-figure" deal to acquire the screen rights to Matt Query's short horror story 'My Wife and I Bought a Ranch,' which was posted across six installments on Reddit.

Query posted his tale of terror on the r/Nosleep subreddit, a popular space for users to share their original horror stories. It tells the story of a couple, named Harry and Sasha, who buy their dream ranch in rural Idaho but soon discover that they're not alone in the mountains.

According to the outlet, the couple "meet their neighbors, who inform them that there is a malevolent spirit in the valley, one that manifests itself by coming to the house in the same manner at the start of each season. There are certain steps that must be followed to keep the spirit out of their house, and the tension and violence grows with each gory ritual as the duel between the spirits and [Harry] the ex-Marine soldier becomes personal."

The first part of the story has received more than 3000 upvotes over the past five months, with Part II: The Lights, Part III: The Bear Chase, Part IV: The Scarecrows, and Part V: The Ghosts Arrive also proving popular amongst readers.

Lol it’s pathetic how it seems the movie industry can not produce original, entertaining content anymore and have to rely on literal neckbeard redditors to buy an original story.

LOL at reddit.

Just another 5 year old level kid tactic that surprisingly works on the masses.

In B4 everyone jumps to reddit and buys upvotes as the next YouTube

I would actually watch it if it is good. I love horror movies.

This will inspire more people to write stories. Good if you ask me, more choices. Better than relying on usual Hollywood writers.

I love the horror movie trope where a couple buys a house without ever even viewing it lol

I wonder how often that actually happens in real life

By the time Netflix makes it, the story will be about an interracial, vegan lesbian couple who fight off the racist ghost of George Washington who wants them off the land they're using to grow hemp.

I love r/NoSleep. I've read some great stories on there. One of the only subs outside the r/GoneWild subs that are worth a damn and not littered with trash.

I Don't know why people bash reddit. Site has a lot of good info on various topics besides the soy cucks. I'm willing to bet they're smarter than the misc, every time I make a business thread on these forums it just flops.

Most brilliant ideas are gone. The industry is about buying and selling what they think could bring real returns.

Everyone's opinion on reddit is based off of the major soyboy subreddits. There's plenty of subreddits for your interests out there that are great and have good people in them.

Alot of them are way too soy based though. I don't post on reddit cause I'd prob just get banned for having a different opinion.

Can you link the OG story? I liked some of the stories on there. The staircase in the woods one was good. Or does it come up in a google search?

edit: NVM...found it on google.

Netflix is also currently promoting a show about a 6 year old who is trans.

Just lol at giving this degenerate company your money.
How dare you!

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

Reddit has entertaining fan made stories. I'm more hesitant that Netflix bought it though. They soy everything up for no reason and could easily ruin a good story.

Edit: lol at the hate from miscers. If it was so easy to write an entertaining story that would be bought for one million (7 figures without specifics is always one million) why didn't you do it?

Cool. Kind of reminds me of that angelfire blog about cave spelunking. It was written like it was a true story. Really freaking creepy, I loved it.
