As noticed by Bloody Disgusting, the new Trick ‘r Treat confirms that the Kickstarter-exclusive edition “features an all-new, never published story from creator Michael Dougherty, new cover art by Zid, and a deluxe omnibus slipcase, all of which WILL NOT be available in retail.” Backers of the Kickstarter can get a digital PDF by pledging $15 or the hardcover collection for $60 with additional bundles available as well.
Talk of Trick ‘r Treat 2 has been ongoing for years at this point, almost longer than the development of the initial film. Dougherty has bene open about the process in the past, teasing as recently as this year that the sequel still remains in “active development.” In a recent interview with Nerdist, Dougherty opened up about his plans about the movie, teasing that no one from the original movie would return for the film.
“No, because I feel like that’s very much American Horror Story‘s approach and style,” Dougherty said when asked if the cast would return in different roles. “I’d rather stay consistent. If I’m bringing cast members back, it would be in the same roles, not that that’s currently a plan within the piece. To me, it would throw me off. I do like it in American Horror Story. I think it works for them, but it’d also feel like we’re just ripping them off if we did that.” He later added, “If I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s all about patience and persistence.”
For those unfamiliar with the film, it’s an anthology movie drenched in the spirit of Halloween and telling several interconnected stories that bring to life werewolves, zombies, vampires, serial killers, and other tricks. The film also featured a stacked ensemble cast of the era, many of whom have gone on to be even bigger names, including Dylan Bake, Anna Paquin, and Brian Cox.
