NEW YORK -- A&E is planning to scare up several new original horror movies adapted from classic literature. The cable channel has signed producer Robyn Rosenfeld of Three Muse Prods. to a development deal that will pair screenplays based on the spookier work of legendary writers like Charles Dickens with five indie filmmakers. Expected to be in the vein of supernatural thrillers like The Sixth Sense, A&E's Ghost Tales will likely debut in 2005. "There's a great desire among storytellers to tell ghost stories on film," Rosenfeld said. "It's a really rich genre." Rosenfeld was one of the executive producers of Creature Features, a collection of remakes of 1950s-era cult horror films that aired on Cinemax in 2001. Nastassja Kinski, Dan Aykroyd and Carla Gugino were among the actors who appeared in Creatures. No directors or actors are attached to Ghost yet.
