Triva and Notes[]

  • Costume Shop

    Dreams in the Attic's supposed sequel.

    There is a movie listed on IMDB called The Costume Shop (2014) which appears to be some sort of Sequel to Dreams in the Attic as it has the main cast returning as their characters in some fashion. Stephen Baldwin and Sara Gaston on listed as Older Kyle and Older Jessica, Given Baldwin's age this movie would have had a major time jump and likely would have had the young actors in flashback scenes. Interestingly enough Shelley Duvall is on a poster for the movie, but she had been long retired at that point, her last role being in 2002.Also Vanessa Chester is listed as a character named Young Janie. There is a movie poster with a 2013 release date but as of 2023 nothing has been released all that remains is a behind the scenes picture of Baldwin and Gaston.
