A sequel to Spookies is in the works, Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned.
Frank Farel, co-writer and producer of the 1987 cult classic, announced the news during a live interview with The Barrens Hideout Podcast at Dark Arts Festival in Lincoln, Ri over the weekend.
“Remarkably, [Spookies] has done well enough in its revival that I’m at the start of raising financing for a sequel,” Farel revealed. “I’m hoping to get a couple of name horror actors into it. I’m also looking to make a film that is almost an anti-sequel. I don’t just want to rehash what was done the first time.
“I don’t want to even make a typical sequel. I want to make something that’s an animal of its own. It’s different in so many ways. The way I’m doing it, it’s almost intended as a mockery of what happened to our original film.
