In 2015, The Vicious Brothers had premiered their 15-part anime called Temple which was based on The Guest screenwriter Simon Barrett.[12] In May of the same year, Minihan and Ortiz had announced that they were making Grave Encounters 3: The Beginning;[13] however, it was quietly cancelled shortly after due to lack of public interest. In February 2020, a reboot of the 1998 slasher film Urban Legend was announced to be in development, with Minihan writing and directing.[14]
