Sam Raimi to produce MONKEY'S PAW
June 16th, 2005 by Cinema Eye
Sam Raimi’s GHOST HOUSE PICTURES has tapped into a gold mine with their string of PG-13 horror flicks. While the movies have been lame at best, they have raked it in at the box-office. Now GHOST HOUSE hopes to continue their wildly successfuly run of films with a family friendly horror film: MONKEY’S PAW.
According to Variety: “PAW concerns a father who brings home an artifact rumored to make any wish come true, but misfortune begins to befall the family with every desire granted.” The film is written by Dave Kajganich and Tom McAlister and will be produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert.

I assume this is based on the classic short story. And if it is, how scary can it be, given the ending is no secret? That said, it’s gotta be better than THE GRUDGE.
I wonder if Dark Castle (which makes far better movies) will take a look at Ghost House grosses and start making PG-13s.
after seeing Grudge and Boogyman, i lost faith in Ghost House. produced two unwatchable films back to back...thats really bad even in Hollywood
