In a bit of a sad turn of events we're sorry to report that director Josh Vargas has vacated the director's seat on the long talked about remake of Don't Look in the Basement. Yep, that's the bad news. The good? As of now the project is still very much happening.
According to Vargas, "Due to certain circumstances, and much to my regret, I am resigning from my position as Director of the "Don't Look In The Basement" remake. With the Producers postponing principal photography until May, as well as a few other circumstances, certain prior commitments within that specified time frame have forced me to make this decision, which is not one that I haven't made lightly. To my knowledge, "Basement" is still slated to shoot in May, with Parrish Randall serving as director.

And the casting news just keeps on coming for director Josh (Sway) Vargas' remake of the S.F. Brownrigg film Don't Look in the Basement. This time reuniting two of the horror genre's most beloved actors!
Together again on screen for the first time since the original Night of the Living Dead in 1968, Judith O'Dea and Bill HInzman have officially signed on for Vargas' film to play Dr. Geraldine Masters and Dr. Roy Stevens. But that's not all! We'll also be seeing Charlotte Kemp (Frankenhooker) as Allyson King, Maggie Conwell (Possum Walk) as Jennifer Downing, and Billy Gram as Detective Childers.
"My inner fanboy is going nuts over working with Judy O'Dea as Dr. Masters," Vargas tells us. "We always knew that she would be perfect for the role, and not being able to announce our excitement over working with her has been torture. I'm glad to finally let that cat out of the bag,...

You can add three names to the festivities! Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood) will be playing L.J, the head orderly of the Stevens Sanitarium; James Fury (Walking Distance) will be playing Billy Doyle, the unlucky telephone repair technician dispatched to the isolated asylum for what proves to be a most deadly meeting with the inmates; and Anthony Brownrigg (Red Victoria), who's also the son of the late S.F. Brownrigg, will be playing Sergeant Craig Jaffe, one of the more dangerous patients in the sanitarium.
The trio join the already announced Brooke Lewis (iMurders, Dahmer vs. Gacy) as Charlotte Beale, Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall, Night of the Comet, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) as Nurse Jane St. Claire, Kristen Hall (Sweatshop,...
