Phantom Limbs: Dissecting Horror's Lost Sequels and Remakes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781960721426)

phantom limb /ˈfan(t)əm'lim/ n. an often painful sensation of the presence of a limb that has been amputated.

Wasn't there going to be a faithful film adaptation of Resident Evil in the late 90s?

Did you know that Mike Flanagan was going to do a spinoff of The Shining after completing Doctor Sleep?

Whatever happened to the rumored sequel to Texas Chainsaw 3D?

Based on the popular Bloody Disgusting web column of the same name, Phantom Limbs takes a look at intended yet unproduced horror sequels and remakes - extensions to genre films we love, appendages to horror franchises that we adore - that were sadly lopped off before making it beyond the planning stages.

Here, writer Jason Jenkins chats with the creators of these unmade extremities to gain their unique insights into these follow-ups that never were, with the discussions standing as hopefully illuminating but undoubtedly painful reminders of what might have been.
