Horror artist and creature concept designer Trevor Henderson is having an impressive month. Just two weeks after Warner Bros. acquired the feature film rights to his creation, Siren Head, another of his original creations, Cartoon Cat, has now been picked up by TriStar Pictures for a feature adaptation.

According to Deadline, TriStar is reportedly wasting no time in searching for a filmmaker to bring Cartoon Cat to the big screen. The sinister feline is described as an ancient, hollow force of decay that exploits humanity’s collective memories of classic cartoons to cross into our reality where it unleashes brutal, violent chaos.

Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Scott Glassgold and J. Todd Harris, along with Thomas Pettinelli and Marc Marcum are producing. So far there’s no word on a director or any cast.

Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Trevor Henderson and all of his horrific creations.
