Dark Castle Entertainment is a division of Silver Pictures, a production house affiliated with Warner Bros.. It was formed in 1999 by Joel Silver, Robert Zemeckis, and Gilbert Adler. Susan Downey was the Vice President of Development until February 2009, a term running congruent to her tenure as a VP of Production at parent company Silver Pictures.

Dark Castle Entertainment's name pays homage to William Castle, a horror filmmaker from the 1950s and 60s. When first formed, the goal of Dark Castle was to remake William Castle's horror films. After two Castle remakes, it moved on to producing original material, along with remakes of non-Castle films. Starting with RocknRolla, the company began producing genre films other than just horror.
