EXCL: Dark Castle Prepping Two More

Source:ShockTillYouDrop.com
August 22, 2008


With Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla, Dominic Sena's Whiteout and Dave Parker's The Hills Run all in the can and on the way, it's time for Dark Castle to start thinking about the future.

Well, ShockTillYouDrop.com has been informed the genre production outfit is moving on two projects, the first being a horror-comedy entitled All Cheerleaders Die (no relation to the Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson short film). The other is another chapter in the House on Haunted Hill saga, rumored to be that prequel we told you about a few months back (here).

Insiders tell us Dark Castle can only explore sequels to properties they developed at Warner Bros., hence the reason you'll see no sequel to Thirteen Ghosts (a property tied up with Sony). That still leaves room for House of Wax or Ghost Ship follow-ups if Dark Castle felt inclined to further explore those titles.

What do you think? Do you think Dark Castle should continue to pursue original productions or do you want to see them milk some sequels out of the film's they've got? Speak your mind below!

I could get into a House of Wax sequel, but only if it's creepier and more torturous than the first one. More horror and gore and less teen drama. Ghost Ship doesn't deserve a sequel. Neither does Thirteen Ghosts frankly.

I was always under the impression that the original idea behind the conception of Dark Castle Films, was the interest in conception of 're-imagined' takes on the classic films of exibitionist filmmaker William Castle. There are still many other 'Castle' titles, which might make for interesting viewing, if re-imagined and contemporized. What about "The Tingler", "The Night Walker", "Mr. Sardonicus", and/or a feature film horror anthology of the classic '70's T.V. show, "Ghost Story/Circle of Fear"???

yeah, i'd LOVE to see a House of Wax sequel!!! i LOVE the remake. it was shot beautifuly (it looked gorgeous), it had gory kills (pole through the head, anyone?), good acting. let's do it! just make it at least as good as the remake (if not BETTER).

Or they can put their planned remakes of "Macabre" and "I Saw What You Did" into production at last.

I didn't like House of Wax at all. (didn't follow even close to the original) and Ghost Ship was not the greatest follow-up for the director after Thirteen Ghosts. To me, Thirteen Ghosts was fun, not so much scary, but fun. If I had the choice I would go with a sequal/prequal to Ghost Ship. It left itself open to one, while...if you all remember...(SPOILER ALERT!!)



The killers died at the end leaving the one brother that didn't do anything...hell, he couldn't kill people. He was a skinny, scrawny guy.


(END SPOILER ALERT)

Ghost Ship left itself wide open for a sequal/prequal that could be interesting if given to the right director.

So what's the deal where did this info come from? Did Dark Castle announce a third haunted hill at comic con or what?

wow i already thought there was a sequal to ghostship i really acctually want another one look at the way they left it open at the end like that. I hope it is stuck in the back of their minds an they already have a story line for it I deffinately want another ghost ship :)

I'm willing to see all of them get sequels. I would have liked to see a sequel to 13 Ghosts but what ever.
