[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”30898″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]A sequel to director Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat was announced back in 2013, but we still don’t have an update. While the director had teased he’d visit the sequel after tackling Godzilla: King of the Monsters, fans would still like an update on this cult horror movie. Fans may not be entirely satisfied with the answer the director provided below, as it seems both the studio and himself don’t see the urgency in making a part two:
“Oh man, it’s that time of year! I feel like that’s become the new Halloween tradition: ask Mike about Trick ‘r Treat 2!” Dougherty shared with ComicBookMovie.com. “Listen, I’m intrigued by the idea and it’s completely up to Legendary. It’s been a few years since we initially talked about it and there’s been a regime change since then. They still have the property and they love it and there’s still a long line of merchandise and a continuing line of comic books based on the film but the ball is in their court. The moment they say they’re interested and ready to go, we’ll see if the stars align.”
Trick ‘r Treat didn’t have the theatrical release it had hoped for, but it has become so popular that Universal Studios included a trick ‘r Treat maze at Halloween Horror Nights last year. Doughtery added that it may be best as a standalone movie:
“At the same time, I think there’s something to be said about not sequelizing it. In a business that is obsessed with franchising and spinoffs and prequels and sequels, maybe there’s something to be said about just leaving it alone.”
Are you still hoping for a sequel or are you okay with a standalone movie?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
