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. Hosted, created and produced by Dread Central Editorial Director Josh Korngut, the show explores infamous unmade projects like Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian , Halloween 3D , and Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash , alongside deep-dive conversations with some of the genre’s most influential voices. Guests have included Elvira, Peaches Christ, Radio Silence, Grady Hendrix, Simon Barrett, Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstan, and Robert Englund. Named one of Variety’s Top 12 Podcasts for Horror Fans and ranked #5 on MovieWeb’s Best Horror Podcasts list, DEVELOPMENT HELL consistently lands in the Top 5 of Apple Podcasts’ Film History charts across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. FOLLOW & SUPPORT Subscribe to Development Hell on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
