This week on Development Hell, host Josh Korngut teams up with horror filmmaker Dima Barch to summon the untold terrors of Sam Raimi’s unmade projects. From abandoned Batman sequels to unrealized Bermuda Triangle nightmares, we dig into the blood-soaked what-ifs that never made it to screen.

Together, Josh and Dima unravel the history of these long-lost titles and imagine the genre landscape had they actually been made. It's a deep cut into one of horror’s most chaotic creative minds—and a celebration of the madness that almost was.

In this special episode of Development Hell, we're joined by Matt Palmer, the visionary director and co-writer behind Fear Street: Prom Queen, the newest entry in Netflix’s beloved horror anthology.

While our show typically digs into the haunted history of unmade horror projects, we also regularly detour to spotlight the most exciting voices working in the genre today. Matt is exactly that. We chat about the legacy of Fear Street, translating teen screams to the screen, and what it was like reimagining R.L. Stine’s pulpy terror for a new generation.

Expect behind-the-scenes stories, creative insights, and maybe even a few prom night secrets…
