Did you know this was coming? I didn’t. Do you know the original? I do and now you will too.

Dementia 13 was a 1963 low-budget horror picture directed by a young Francis Ford Coppola. Yes, that Francis Ford Coppola, as in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Shot in 9 days, the 1963 version was produced by Roger Corman and is a notable entry into what would become the resume of one of America’s greatest Directors.

Preserved corpses. Ax murderers, Insanity. Hopefully Chiller’s version keeps these delicious little tidbits for their retelling. Richard LeMay (The Dark Rite, Naked As We Come) will direct and the film was written by Dan DeFilippo (The Invaders) and Justin Smith (SiREN, The Boy). The cast includes Julia Campanelli (Walking Away), Ana Isabelle (The Eye) and Marianne Noscheze (Horror Time). “Casters”).

We’ll keep you updated on a trailer for Chiller Films’ version, but feel free to insane your brain with the original Dementia 13 poster now.
