According to an official logline, “The Possession at Gladstone Manor” picks up “when Jamie Black discovers her mother has gone missing [and] resolves to investigate by applying for the same job her mother held at Gladstone Manor.

“As die-hard fans of the horror genre, this project feels like a dream come true,” said producer Thomas Zambeck. “We’re thrilled to bring this dark vision to life, and scare audiences with this timeless tale for years to come.”
