DEVELOPMENT HELL is the podcast dedicated to unearthing canceled horror productions, to find out what went wrong, and decide if they still stand a shot at the green light.

For every horror title to hit V.O.D … there are countless others that end up D.O.A. DEVELOPMENT HELL is the podcast dedicated to unearthing these cursed horror productions, to find out what went wrong, and decide if they still stand a shot at the green light.

Join me, Dread Central’s managing editor Josh Korngut, as I dig up the dirt on the best horror movies never made. Discover dead projects like Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash, Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, Guillermo del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness, Peter Jackson’s A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Lover, Halloween 3D, Trick R’ Treat Part 2, and many more. I also pick the brains of some of the most exciting voices in indie horror, like Elvira (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), Peaches Christ (All About Evil), Radio Silence (Scream VI), William Brent Bell (Orphan: First Kill) among others.

“The premise of this fascinating show from the Dread Podcast Network is simple yet ingenious. Rather than discuss a familiar horror film that you’ve seen a dozen times or more, Toronto-based host Josh Korngut spends each episode of “Development Hell” highlighting a scary movie that was never actually made. […] It’s an intriguing peek at an alternate history of the horror genre, filled with tantalizing details about how close each film came to being made, what went wrong at the last minute and whether they might still see cameras roll one day.”

I thought I imagined this '90s TV series. A lot of other people did, too
