We Are The Sprocket Holes vol. 332


Horror Franchises Impacted By Potential Weinstein Company Collapse

The Weinstein Company’s Dimension Films quietly put sequels to both Clive Barker‘s Hellraiser and Stephen King‘s Children of the Corn into production two years ago. It was done as a bid to retain the rights with allegedly no intention of a release. Us horror fans have suffered through this for decades now (with Inferno, Hellseeker, Deader, and Hellworld) and it’ll be interesting to see if both franchises will be freed from the grasp in the event of a bankruptcy...And what about the various films acquired and shelved that still haven’t seen the light of day, including the French horror Livide?
