Josh and Zena dig deep into the forgotten a CANDYMAN film, before spilling the details about Nia DaCosta’s upcoming spiritual follow up to the 1992 classic. In March 2004, Tony Todd announced he had signed on to star in a fourth Candyman film… This sequel was allegedly set at a New England all-girls private school where the Candyman was reigning havoc during a blizzard. Clive Barker was even in talks to produce this project, which was rumored to be ignoring the events of the other sequels. With extra special guest Zena Dixon (cohost of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast), these two take a real sharp look at the Candyman franchise as a whole, and speculate wildly on what could have been… and what’s yet to come.

It might only be June, but Halloween never dies! This week we rerelease our episode all about the never-made Halloween 3D from the duo behind My Bloody Valentine 3D Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer. This lost sequel was meant to be the third chapter in the Rob Zombie Halloween franchise, as set up at the end of 2009's Halloween II. This week's special guest is a longtime friend of the podcast, Emily Gagne. Emily is a filmmaker, writer, and podcaster. She curates Final Girl Fashion and cohosts the We Really Like Her podcast. There have been numerous unmade Halloween sequels, but this one might be the craziest. Host Josh Korngut and guest Emily Gagne discuss the wild Halloween 3D screenplay. There are multiple 3D head decapitations, tons of carnage, and even the corpse of Michael's mother makes a surprisingly long appearance.

This week the Development Hell podcast uncovers the upcoming horror release Werewolves Within from IFC Films. Werewolves Within is the adaptation of the cult VR party game of the same name. Josh Ruben, the director behind Werewolves Within, is this week’s special guest! Josh is an award-winning actor, writer, and director. His debut feature film, Scare Me, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. The plot of Werewolves Within follows Forest ranger Finn (Veep’s Sam Richardson) who finds himself relocated to the sleepy town of Beaverfield. But, when a snowstorm sequesters Finn and a handful of eccentric locals, it’s not long before mutilated bodies start to pile up. Werewolves Within was written by Mishna Wolff and sports an impressive all-star cast of suspects. Stars also include Michaela Watkins, Milana Vayntrub, Harvey Guillén, Cheyanna Jackson, Michael Chernus and Sarah Burns. Werewolves Within will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 16th, 2021.

The Development Hell podcast unearths Cary Fukunaga’s (TRUE DETECTIVE) unmade adaptation of Stephen King’s IT! With guest Emily Gagne (BEST FRIENDS FOREVER), this new episode uncovers a very different (and darker) vision of Stephen King’s seminal work of terror. Emily Gagne is a filmmaker, podcaster and writer. She curates FINAL GIRL FASHION on Instagram, an account showcasing the killer outfits of women in horror. Emily also co-hosts the podcasts We Really Like Her! And What About Meryll. Together we cover the IT miniseries, both feature films and the classic Stephen King novel which started it all. That’s when we dive into Cary Fukunaga’s and Chase Palmer's 2014 draft of the IT adaptation which was ultimately cancelled. Furthermore, we explore the nitty-gritty differences between the Andy Muschietti vision of Derry and how it compares to the Fukanga/Chase draft. We also speculate wildly about why Warner Brothers jumped ship after developing IT with Fukanga for nearly five years. If you are a fan of Stephen King’s IT and Pennywise the Dancing Clown? If so, you won't want to miss this episode. Do you think the recent films did the book justice? Let us know on social media!

This week, Development Hell interrogates horror icon and filmmaker Simon Barrett. We pick his brains about the movies he didn’t get made. And the ones he did. Simon discusses his upcoming feature film SEANCE starring Suki Waterhouse (ASSASSINATION NATION). This horror mystery takes place at a prestigious private school where six friends invite a new girl to join them in a late-night ritual, calling forth the spirit of a dead former student who reportedly haunts their halls. But before morning, one of the girls is dead, leaving the others wondering what they may have awakened. SEANCE is available in theaters, on-demand and digital on May 21, 2021. Simon also talks about the other horror classics he's made (THE GUEST, VHS, BLAIR WITCH). We then pester him into telling us about the films he lost to development hell, including a remake of the Korean thriller I SAW THE DEVIL.  Subscribe to Development Hell anywhere you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode.

On this episode of the Development Hell podcast, Hollywood screenwriter Teddy Tenenbaum talks about writing a 2014 HELLRAISER project for Dimension Films. Teddy dishes the dirt on what it takes to get a horror movie made, his unlikely first encounter with Guillermo Del Toro, and what it was like working with Clive Barker on a television series about Ed and Lorraine Warren. Teddy also gets into the details about the plot behind his HELLRAISER concept (it’s wild), what it was like being shaded by Bob Weinstein, and when Dimension Films pitted his script against another written by Clive Barker himself. No tears please… even though this HELLRAISER project sounds like it would have been cool as all hell. Make sure to subscribe to Development Hell on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you listen to podcasts!
