Disney shines a spotlight on one of its animated cult classic shows from the 90s with a focus on Gargoyles. It is now transforming into an exciting live-action television series that will be joining its streaming platform. To make this possible, the team taps the help of two iconic names in the realm of horror including James Wan and his Atomic Monster production company as well as Gary Dauberman.
Wan is responsible for the Conjuring franchise and is also a co-creator of Saw and Insidious. Dauberman works closely with Wan and is also a writer of the Annabelle movies.
