CAMP BLOOD: THE DEATH OF JASON VOORHEES [Camp is Cancelled Part III]

Summer is here and with it comes CAMP IS CANCELLED, the new limited audio series from the Development Hell podcast. Every Tuesday in July we are unearthing a yet unmade 'Friday the 13th' sequel.

For the third of our four CAMP IS CANCELLED chapters we unearth Damian Shannon and Mark Swift's follow-up to the 2009 Platinum Dunes reboot, 'Friday the 13th: Camp Blood — The Death of Jason Voorhees'. After the studio cycled through multiple scripts, they turned back to Shannon and Swift, who had previously written the reboot as well as 'Freddy Vs. Jason'. In 2017 the writers took to Twitter to share that their unmade film would finally take Jason into the snow.

CAMP IS CANCELLED is co-hosted by Jinx!

Nick Antosca's FRIDAY THE 13TH [Camp is Cancelled Part II]

Summer is here and with it comes CAMP IS CANCELLED, the new limited audio series from the Development Hell podcast. Every Tuesday in July we are unearthing a yet unmade 'Friday the 13th' sequel.

For the second of our four CAMP IS CANCELLED chapters we are uncovering Nick Antosca and David Bruckner's 2015 'Friday the 13th' reboot for Platinum Dunes and Paramount. When the project fell apart, Antosca shared his script on Twitter, and boy is it a doozy. This cancelled 2015 screenplay is scary, stunning and downright brilliant. Listen now for a detailed breakdown of this inventive unmade reboot.

JASON NEVER DIES [Camp Is Cancelled Part I]

Summer is here and with it comes CAMP IS CANCELLED, the new limited audio series from the Development Hell podcast. Every Tuesday in July we are unearthing a yet unmade 'Friday the 13th' sequel.

For the first of our four CAMP IS CANCELLED chapters we are uncovering JASON NEVER DIES, the still unmade follow-up to JASON LIVES from writer-director Tom McLoughlin. Following a group of misfit Catholic school girls, this snowy Jason sequel would pit the icon against an all-woman ensemble.

Guillermo del Toro's AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS (with Drew Tinnin)

For close to twenty years, Guillermo del Toro has been attempting to get a cinematic adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" off the ground. Multiple studios have gotten entangled, Tom Cruise was once attached to star and James Cameron even became involved as a producer. Unknowable evils, cities of unnatural dread, and creatures so nasty they drive you insane, "A the Mountains of Madness" is a tale of isolated, snowy monstrousness. Find out if del Toro stands a shot at getting the greenlight.

Today's information was provided by The Kingcast and IndieWire.

WINNIE THE POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY (with Rhys Frake-Waterfield)

After Dread Central broke the story about the forthcoming horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, the internet just about lost its goddamn mind. Cinema fans everywhere expressed terror, disgust, and intrigue at the photos portraying Winnie the Pooh and Piglet as violent murderers. Then, in only a matter of hours, hundreds of other entertainment outlets picked up the story, and the rest is viral history.

So naturally we reached out to the filmmaker behind the controversial horror title for an interview, and we were not disappointed by what he had to say. Rhys Frake-Waterfield is the filmmaker and producer behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, an ITN Studios Original Production. While in the middle of post on a number of campy and exciting new releases, he sat down with us to talk all things blood and honey.
