TRICK ‘R TREAT 2 director discusses what we won’t see in the sequel

Earlier this month, we learned about that director Michael Dougherty it was still developing its long-awaited following Trick or treat. This sequel should have happened years ago, but better late than never! I was very curious about which Halloween stories Trick or treat 2 he will say it, but the director of the film has been talking about it recently and has been discussing the things that we will not see in the film.

One of the first things raised in an interview with Nerdist was that Dougherty confirmed that none of the original cast members will be returning for the sequel. When asked about it, she explained:

“No, because I feel it is a lot American horror storythe approach and the style. I’d rather stay consistent. If I were to bring the cast members back, they would be in the same roles, not that it’s currently a plan within the piece. For me, it would drive me crazy. I like it inside American horror story. I think it works for them, but if we did it it would also be like we were robbing them. ”He later added:“ If I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s all a matter of patience and perseverance. ”

I think it’s the right move to bring a whole new cast to a whole new collection of scary stories. Dougherty also confirmed that he has no plans to tell Sam’s origin story, which she has talked about in the past. He said:

“I think Freddy works, but at the same time we’ve never seen him [the origin], I believe. I think Freddy’s origin is an exception because he only made him scarier. Knowing who he was, this serial killer who went around killing children and was eventually beheaded by justice, only increased her mystery and his power. But I think one mistake they made was to keep explaining it. They kept adding more layers like “Oh, he also made a deal with these three dream demons”. It’s one thing to create a fun and mysterious origin for a character, but I feel a lot of studios over the years have somehow rethought it.

“They just started adding too much to the point of being layered with all the layers. Like with the Halloween stuff [in Halloween 5 and 6] where they are like cults, and the curse, and these tattoos. I was like, ‘What the fuck are you talking about?’ With Sam, there are definitely aspects of his lore and mythology that we could expand on, and I hope to do that in terms of how he will return year after year, where he goes and things like that, but I would never do some sort of flashback to Sam. ancient Ireland and shows a child being sacrificed and throwing it at a pumpkin creature. This would only ruin his mystique. “

When he previously talked about Sam’s origin, he explained that he’d like to show him birth in a pumpkin patch. “There’s a big Charles Addams painting of a pumpkin patch … and you see hundreds of pumpkins, and you see one … and it’s carving itself.”

I’d like to see the concept come to life. It looks like it would make such a great view! In his previous update on the project, Dougherty said:

“It’s funny because when I first thought about making the first film, I thought,” How cool would it be if we did a series? ” It’s something I remember from childhood. Horror movies and Halloween go hand in hand. And so the idea was, “Well, we could probably do a trick and treat movie every year or every two years, and which would be just a new set of stories and characters. And the common bond between them all would be Sam. “Initially this was the plan, then things changed as the first movie had a weird, very delayed journey. I put those dreams on hold for a while, so it’s nice to go back to the original plan …. I think” That would be fantastic to make a trilogy, at least. So let’s cross our fingers. For me, I think every movie should explore a different aspect of Halloween. I felt like the first movie was the traditional suburban Halloween that we all have some memory of. But as I’ve grown up over the years, I’ve lived everywhere from Columbus, Ohio to New York to Los Angeles, and I find the vacation to be very different depending on where you live. Or even periods of time. Not “I don’t see why we should limit ourselves to today’s stories. Halloween is a fantastic holiday because it evolves depending on where you live and the time period.”

He added: “There’s nothing I can reveal yet. It’s still very early in the process, but I can definitely say we’ll explore Sam more and maybe get into some background of who and what he actually is.”

He went on to explain, “I think we’re going to shake it up a bit. There are different archetypes I’d like to explore, different types of monsters. We’ve talked about werewolves, vampires, and zombies, but there’s a whole slew of different creatures out there that. we haven’t dealt with it, and I think Sam would probably be a good friend. So I think it’s time to let them hang out in the sun. “

Hopefully, he really gets to make this movie!
