Ti West Responds to ‘Cabin Fever 2’ Reports
Rumors of writer/director Ti West disowning Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, the long lost sequel to Eli Roth’s breakthrough horror film from 2003, have cluttered the internet over the past few weeks. While the news first hit the web after the UK FrightFest screening last month, BD caught up with him at The House of the Devil press day to clear the air.
“Everyone has been asking me about this and the Internet is full of inaccuracies. Here’s the deal,” says West.
“I don’t feel I deserve credit if CABIN FEVER 2 succeeds and by the same token I don’t feel I deserve blame if it fails. I wrote the story and shot most of the footage, but it was completely re-edited and partially re-shot by the producers, editors and executives. The movie they are releasing was not really directed by me,” West reveals.
“Since I am not a member of the DGA the use of a pseudonym has to be approved by the producers and Lions Gate felt that it would be too expensive to re-do the titles and would decrease the value of the final product. They denied my multiple requests to use “Alan Smithee” for my director credit and my name unfortunately remains on the film.”
I don’t have any animosity towards those involved. I believe they had good intentions, but filmmaking is very personal for me and I can’t stand behind something I don’t feel
responsible for.”
West’s THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL in now available OnDemand and on Xbox, with a small theatrical run planned for October 30th. Watch for our exclusive video interview with West in the coming week.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
