ABC will be the home of "Clive Barker's Hotel" from "Saw" writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton.

Several networks were eying the new Warner Bros. horror series, including Fox, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The script focuses on a series of ghoulish incidents at a haunted hotel.

Dunstan recently directed "The Collector," based on a script he co-wrote with Melton. The duo broke into the genre after winning "Project Greenlight" with their horror script "Feast." It became a Dimension movie, and they have since served as writers for Lionsgate's "Saw" films. Writing the previous two movies in the franchise, the pair also penned the screenplay to this fall's "Saw VI." They are attached to write as many as two of the movies beyond that.

Barker, the creator of the landmark horror franchise "Hellraiser" and the recent best-selling "Abarat" books, will produce. McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision is also in talks to produce. Barker associate Joe Daley will co-produce. In addition, McG may serve in a directorial capacity.

For Dunstan and Melton, the project serves as a second collaboration with Barker. They previously worked on a draft of Dimension's reboot of the "Hellraiser" franchise.
