Hopefully one day, director Michael Dougherty will finally be able to make his own sequel to the classic Halloween horror film Trick or treat. He’s been developing this project for years and it’s been so frustrating for fans that it hasn’t even been produced yet! But Dougherty is really in no rush to make it. He took his time to make sure the film was perfect because he wants it to meet fans’ expectations. During an in-person screening of the original film, according to Collider, he explained:
“I love all of our favorite horror series characters as much as any of us, but not all of them are great. And I know we’ve grown to love even the lesser chapters of our favorite horror series. There’s always added value in them, but if I’m going to make a sequel, I want it to be as good if not better than the original, and good things take time. The last thing I want is to see ‘Trick ‘r Treat Part 9: Sam Goes to Space,’ you know? Even though he has potential, I will say.”
The director previously revealed that he had a “really great” script, something he is very happy with. So, it looks like the project is ready to go. He said:
“I will say this, because we said this last year at the Beyond Fest screening, the sequel is in active development with Legendary. I’ll go so far as to say we have several drafts of a script.
“I brought back the same storyboard artist I talked about before, Simeon Wilkins, so we have a stack of storyboards and also a nice stack of concept art done by Breehn Burns. So it’s moving slowly.”
Dougherty then went on to talk about what the next steps will be to finally make this sequel happen, saying:
“I’m hoping to talk to Legendary. They’ve been wonderful, such great collaborators. But a lot of this is timing, and as you know, we just came out of a strike, so the next step, fingers crossed, would be, ‘I’ll look at the budget. , obviously, the schedule and everything… But we have a really, really great script for a sequel. And I brought my co-writer from Krampus to do it with me. So Zach Shields and Todd Casey, who does Krampus with me, also helped me write Trick ‘r Treat Part 2.”
Fingers crossed that within the next year or two, the Trick or treat the sequel actually goes into production!
