Trick r Treat 2 On The Way? Say What

Hello Reader! DO you like Halloween themed movies? How about films with several story lines and they all intertwine? Well hey! this is for you….and me

Trick r Treat 2 is on its way thanks to the announcement at a fan screening in Hollywood when screenwriter Michael Dougherty who wrote the first film announced that it’s on the way to be made during the Q&A….OOOH YEA.

Michael Dougherty also talked to Entertainment Weekly that same night about Trick r Treat 2

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did the idea for the sequel come about? What made you want to do this?
MICHAEL DOUGHERTY: It’s funny because when I first dreamt up the idea of making the first film, I thought, “How neat would it be if we made them a series?” I’m a firm believer that October should be filled with Halloween movies, or horror movies. That’s something I remember from childhood. Horror movies and Halloween, they go hand-in-hand. And so the idea was, “Well we could probably do a Trick ‘r Treat movie every year or every other year, and that it would sort of just be a new batch of stories and characters. And the common link between all of them would be Sam.” Initially that was the plan, and then things changed as the first film had a very delayed, strange journey. I put those dreams on hold for a little while, so it feels good to go back to that initial plan.

Was there a moment you realized you could bring that dream back to life?
I don’t think there was on particular moment. I had definitely been hearing the fans asking about a sequel ever since the first film came out on DVD. Even back then, there were the first cries for “Give us another one.” And I think that chorus only got louder as the film started to grow and develop its audience, to the point where it’s insane. If I log in to check out the film’s Facebook page, or if there’s an article about it, the top comment is always “Give us part two.” Just dozens of people. I think that momentum just started to build to the point where it was deafening. And I think Legendary finally heard it too. Legendary’s always been a big supproter of the film. They’ve been tracking fans rise in popularity, and I think this was the year we finally reached that peak, and they realized the sequel was necessary.

How far along are you in the creative process?
We don’t even have a script yet.

In terms of what you want to do with the sequel, are you looking at more classic monsters?
I think we’ll shake it up a little bit. There are different archetypes I’d like to explore, different types of monsters. We covered werewolves, vampires, and zombies, but there’s a whole slew of different creatures out there that we haven’t tackled, and I think Sam would probably be pretty good buddies with. So I think it’s time to let them have their time in the sun.

So I lied about it being close to being made as you can read, the guy said he doesn’t have a script yet but hey! It’s on the Way. Dougherty also tossed the word trilogy around in the interview. Click the link above to read the full interview.

Trick r Treat 2 is most likely to be made soon and hopefully in time for 2014 Halloween season. With the word trilogy being dropped makes it even better in my eyes. Trick r Treat is one of my favorite October horror Halloween films to watch. What do you think of the news? Did you see the first Trick r Treat? Comment below and let me know.
