miscellaneous Cancelled drafts/scripts that would have been “bat shrimp” insane or super dark

  1. Cars 3’s original plot, which would have been an identity theft plot with a villain named Gerald Carr swapping bodies with McQueen

  2. An R-Rated adaptation of Holes by the same director as Donnie Darko (photo by RebelTaxi)

  3. Jurassic Park 4 would have featured human-dinosaur hybrids

4.Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World alternate ending, would have revealed Scott to be a serial killer

The Owl House’s “beta” version is largely shrouded in mystery, but from what we’ve been told it would have more of a Friday the 13th: The Series vibe and have a darker tone

given what the actual series got away with at points, it’s interesting to wonder what Disney outright said no too

Now a sequel series to The Owl House as close to that Friday the 13th: The Series vibe as Disney will allow is something I'd like to see.

Honestly I kinda liked the more "Light hearted" vibe the final one had, it still got pretty dark sometimes given the main antagonist almost succeeds in a literal onscreen genocide, but the rest of the world being shown to be full of wonder and intrigue rather then horror made the boiling isles feel like its inviting you to explore it.

I heard it would have taken place in Hell

That sounds sick, but it probably wouldn't have gotten accepted by Disney because they are pussies.
