SAM RAIMI UNSEEN (with Dima Barch)

About this episode

The episode explores the unmade horror projects of Sam Raimi with guest Dima Barch.

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.
