Overview

  • Joseph and Vanessa Winter, whose Deadstream debut earned critical acclaim, are penning and helming the project from their own original script.
  • The new take bypasses existing franchise IP by tapping into public-domain accounts of the 1974 112 Ocean Avenue haunting.
  • Producers Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz, Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath are on board through BoulderLight Pictures and Divide/Conquer.
  • The filmmakers have confirmed that the DeFeo murders and Lutz family haunting narratives will be excluded to deliver a fresh horror vision.
