Hollywood producer Joe Roth and partner Jeff Kirschenbaum are developing a feature-film adaptation of the viral horror game Scary Teacher, alongside writers Cory Todd Hughes and Adrian Speckert. The project aims to turn the game’s mix of scares, comedy and school-age anxieties into a broader film audience proposition, reflecting continued industry interest in adaptations of online gaming and viral horror properties.

Created by Z & K Games, Scary Teacher centres on Miss T, a threatening teacher targeted by students Nick and Tani through stealth missions and elaborate pranks. The franchise has attracted billions of views across YouTube channels, while the proposed film is described as a faithful but elevated horror version retaining its suspense, dark humour and coming-of-age themes; no studio, cast or release date has been announced.
