Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Horror Edition
Imagine Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...but even more sinister. Willy Wonka invites four lucky teenagers to tour his factory, then kills them in various cruel and unusual ways. This would be set during the same timeline as the original story, not a sequel or prequel, but the kids are a bit older (16-18 ish).
Seryozha
This is an animated show about a teenage boy from a Russian immigrant family who hunts cryptids. He lives with his mother and little brother Lev, who don't believe him when he tells them about the monsters he finds. He eventually becomes a professional cryptozoologist. The show will be in the genre of magical realism, combining the magical beings and situations with the main character's very real struggles of not sharing his family's religious and political beliefs and having to raise his brother from a young age.
Tales from Gray Harbor
A young man and woman run a small aquarium called the Gray Ocean House in a fantastical, supernatural town called Gray Harbor. They face lots of challenges working with the sea creatures and in their personal lives, raising a little boy and dealing with illness and family troubles. I imagine this as a film or book.
The Master and Margarita
The devil, disguised as a magician, comes to 1920s Moscow and wreaks havoc on a writer, his girlfriend, and a young poet.
