In this episode, my guest is Jason Jenkins and we talk about some of the sequels to our favorite horror franchises that had a great sequel or remake idea in the works but for some reason never made it out of the production board room. His book, Phantom Limbs (based on the Bloody Disgusting column he wrote during the pandemic) is a great source for the horror geek in all of us as well as your basic film history buff. Check it out on its April 2, 2024 release date.

From the publisher:

Originally a column on popular horror website Bloody Disgusting, Phantom Limbs is the inaugural volume of a planned series of books which will explore the histories of unmade horror movie sequels and remakes and the stories they would have told.

“I’ve always been drawn to the stories behind unmade movies,” says Jenkins, “going all the way back to my early days as a horror nerd reading about Peter Jackson’s unrealized Nightmare on Elm Street sequel in an old Fangoria back in the 90s.  It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be able to speak with so many brilliant creatives about their own unproduced genre works and to help usher their stories along to fellow fans.”

Featuring lengthy interviews, detailed synopses and concept artwork/posters, Phantom Limbs will cover unmade extensions to popular horror franchises such as Halloween, Predator, Psycho, Resident Evil, Saw, The Shining, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.  This initial volume will also include chats with such genre luminaries as Mike Flanagan, Mick Garris, Alan B. McElroy, Jeffrey Reddick, Stephen Susco, and many others!

Sean Duregger, Managing Editor of Encyclopocalypse had this to say of Phantom Limbs, “Mark Alan Miller and I adored Jason’s column at Bloody Disgusting and it’s been a treat bringing it to horror fans in the expanded form only a book can give you. I’m personally excited to add this alongside all of my other revered Horror Nonfiction on my bookshelf.”

Phantom Limbs will be available directly from Encyclopocalypse Publications in eBook and Print at www.encyclopocalypse.com (BuyHorrorBooks.com) or from your favorite bookseller. The audiobook version will be available exclusively from Audible or Apple Books.
