The most tragic horror video game cancellation of all time is arguably Silent Hills. 2014 saw the release of P.T. —the horrifying playable trailer for Silent Hills— and the internet lost its mind. P.T. went on to receive tons of fanfare and made every end-of-year list imaginable. But Silent Hills never happened.  Now the Development Hell podcast investigates what happened to the infamous game from Konami Hideo Kojima, and Guillermo del Toro. We unpack the speculated drama within Konami, and identity the key players in the narrative.  But that’s not all! We also look to the future of the Silent Hill franchise. While there hasn’t been a Silent Hill game released in nearly a decade, there has been tons of speculation about the property’s imminent return. The guests: Ted Hentschke heads up the DreadXP team, the video game extension of Dread Central! So this guy knows horror games. Ted helps host Josh Korngut contextualize the current state of video games and is here to ensure all facts are correct. Find him over at dreadxp.com October Keegan is a Senior Writer for Rely on Horror, but better yet, she’s a Silent Hill historian. She walks host Josh Korngut and guest Ted through the nitty-gritty details of Silent Hill’s recent news, rumours and internal drama. Find October over at relyonhorror.com on Twitter.

On this brand new episode of the Development Hell podcast, host Josh Korngut salvages the lost remains of Zombieland: The Series.  Once again Josh is joined by special guest Jason Jenkins (aka Jinx). Jinx is the writer behind the Bloody Disgusting column Phantom Limbs where he too uncovers the truth behind horror movies that were never made.  While the film's original characters star in the shot pilot, none of the original cast reprised their roles. While it was created by a writer of the original film, Rhett Reese, this series faced demise before it ever got greenlit.  Josh and Jinx uncover why this series has been “successfully hated out of existence by fans”.  Is unmade horror your type of thing?

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.
