Back when the 3D gimmick was plaguing Hollywood releases, an interesting little horror movie was announced called Webcam - also known as WebCam 3D.

Set to revolve around a man who lures a group of high schoolers to a party, broadcasts it on the internet, and then sets up a vote to decide which of his victims will live or die, the movie had a finished script, financial backers, and even a fleshed-out cast, including some surprisingly big names like Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen, and Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.

In early 2010, a pretty underwhelming teaser trailer hit YouTube, ending with the tag "Coming Soon". Then, a few months later, Englund praised the script, while also mentioning that the shoot had moved from Buenos Ares to Barcelona.

It sounded like the project was slowly coming together, but after Englund's comments, it vanished into the filmmaking abyss, never to return.

Did the movie actually start shooting? If not, why? We haven't heard a peep in over a decade, but considering how generic that trailer looks, that might be a good thing.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
