NEW YORK, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- The pilot for "666 Park Ave." has been picked up by ABC, the producers of the spooky series announced.

Warner Bros. Television and Alloy Entertainment created the project, which is based on a series of books by Gabriella Pierce. Alloy has been on a hot streak as producers of "Gossip Girl," "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Secret Circle."
