Watch our exclusive teaser trailer for Light as a Feather below:Fleming admitted that the show needed to skip some parts of the original story in the adaptation process, but also added a few new elements that he hopes fans of Aarsen's work will appreciate. "In turning it into a TV series sometimes you have to add elements, and obviously it’s a book, so the series goes on beyond the book," Fleming told us. "So we do deviate, but the spirit of the book is definitely there."

But when it comes to horror, Fleming is a self-proclaimed rookie, so we wanted to know what excited him about taking on a challenging new genre.
"[The show] always felt very much in my wheelhouse, because I’ve done a lot of high school-centered projects over the course of my career," Fleming explained. "It was sort of a fun new tool, or a fun new toy to play with. The drama that these high school seniors and best friends are dealing with, like they’ve got boyfriends and problems with their parents, normal high school stuff. But superimposed on top of that is this spooky game they played, and now there’s this specter hanging over everything, and they might not all be alive at the end of their senior year."
All 10 episodes of Season 1 of Light As A Feather will premiere Friday, October 12, only on Hulu. David Griffin still watches DuckTales in his pajamas. He's also the TV Editor for IGN. Say hi on Twitter.
