Scott Glosserman Talks ‘Behind The Mask 2’ Plans

Published

on

A huge panel of cast and crew from the awesome Behind The Mask was gathered for Creation’s Weekend of Horrors today in Los Angeles, including writer/director Scott Glosserman, and naturally talk of the long-awaited sequel came up.

Glosserman wanted to stress that the sequel was “far from a certainty”, but the script is written and everyone has given an oral agreement to come back, including Robert Englund. Glosserman told the crowd that what needs to happen is a “groundswell of communal support”, because they won’t be able to get financing without proof that there is interest/demand for a sequel. He mentioned possible “crowdfunding” as a means to “make a dent” in the budget, just to prove to financiers that this can be a successful project.

In the meantime, they have just launched a new Facebook page, where you can watch a new video of Leslie (Nathan Baesel) talking about what he’s been up to, as well as dropping some hints at what the sequel will be about (Glosserman says that it will deconstruct sequels, prequels, AND remakes!). So head on over and “like” the page to show support (Glosserman mentioned calling on the “Hatchet Army” to help out – represent, folks!) – let’s do what we can to get Leslie Vernon the sequel he deserves!

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
