If you are wondering what ever happened to the Trick’ r Treat sequel, don’t worry, spooky friends. Sam will be visiting us on Halloween very soon.
Director Michael Dougherty spoke to Collider during a Q&A after a Scary Perri’s Horror Series film screening and addressed the long-standing question of when fans will get the sequel.
Collider’s Perri Nemiroff asked the question on everyone’s mind, especially this time of year. And Dougherty offered his usual update on Trick’ r Treat 2 but with a few more details this time.
“I will say this because we said it last year at the Beyond Fest screening; the sequel is in active development with Legendary,” Dougherty reaffirms. “I’ll go so far as to say that we have several drafts of a script. I brought back the same storyboard artist I mentioned before, Simeon Wilkins, so we have a stack of storyboards and a good fat stack of concept art done by Breehn Burns as well. So it’s inching along,”
“I’m hoping to talk to Legendary,” Dougherty continues. “They’ve been wonderful, like great collaborators. But so much of it is timing, and as you know, we just got out of a strike, so the next step, fingers crossed, would be looking at budget, of course, schedule, and all the rest. But we have a really, really great script for a sequel. And I brought in my co-writer from Krampus to do it with me. So Zach Shields and Todd Casey also helped me write Trick ‘r Treat Part 2.”
It seems like Dougherty is asked this question once a year, as we reported a similar story last Halloween when the filmmaker was asked about the project.
