Remake of Umberto Lenzi’s Italian Horror Film ‘Ghosthouse’ Being Crowdfunded

Published

on

The late Umberto Lenzi will be best remembered for his Cannibal Ferox, but Lenzi also directed a handful of other Italian horror flicks including Ghosthouse, released in 1988. Perhaps the most notable thing about Ghosthouse is that it was released in Italy as “Evil Dead 3,” despite having no actual connection whatsoever to the franchise.

Now, Ghosthouse is getting a remake, with Dustin Ferguson currently in development on a new take on Lenzi’s ’88 film. And he’s taken to Indiegogo to make it happen.

Ferguson is hoping to raise $50,000 “to cover all initial costs needed to begin production.” He adds, “While we already have private investors on board, we still need the funding for our upfront costs. Because we obtained the rights and have some initial budget, the film is moving forward this August despite what is raised here. However, anything we can gather from fans and supporters will allow for bigger Horror genre actors and more spectacular special F/X.”

“Based on the 1988 cult-classic by Director Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox, Spasmo), this 2018 remake follows a group of college kids who trace the origins of a mysterious television broadcast to a secluded old house in the woods. Ectoplasm pits, flying objects, ghostly apparitions and the Grim Reaper himself are just a few of the horrors that await them inside.”

Ferguson plans on filming his Ghosthouse remake in the same locations Lenzi used, with Paul T. Taylor (Pinhead in Hellraiser: Judgment) starring as the “Grim Reaper.”

Head over to the Ghosthouse Indiegogo to learn more and pitch in.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
