Running With Scissors is a film directed by Ryan Murphy set for 2006 release.

Premise

Based on the memoir Running with Scissors, the film is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. At the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living, with the doctor’s bizarre family, and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. The story is one of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull an electroshock-therapy machine could provide entertainment. The film is the funny, harrowing and bestselling account of an ordinary boy’s survival under the most extraordinary circumstances comprises the basic plot.
