  • The mid-2000's were a treasure trove of new horror. Hatchet, Hostel, and Saw were able to make an impact and get a few sequels for their trouble. But there was one film that ended up lost amongst the shuffle of good horror. So today, we're focusing on the sequel that should have been with Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon.
    Written, Narrated and Edited by Tyler Nichols

    I've always loved the movie it was a breath of fresh air for the stagnant slasher flims just like what scream did but differently.
    I can't say that I'm surprised that Hollywood wanted it to their way and prevented the trilogy from happening.

    I definitely want a sequel to this! I love the movie and it has an incredible amount of franchise potential. I was So excited with announcement of a sequel happening years ago and I think I remember seeing a clip or pic of a table read of the script for the sequel but then suddenly all talk of it vanished. Now that I know why it just makes me sad and surprised in some ways because you would think a studio like Lionsgate or Blumhouse would be all for getting on board for a potential movie franchise like this. Hopefully one day we will get to see sequels get made.

    Behind The Mask was such a great movie. I’d love for it to one day get a sequel, but only if Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals and Robert Englund reprised their roles. I have no interest in a remake or reboot with more famous actors playing those roles.

I am a huge fan… i own a coffee shop and every year around the harvest moon we make “Vernon’s Apple Cider” Nathan is always super cool and retweets and has even offered to stop in with Angela and hang out when he comes in the area for any kind of convention. Great people, made great movies… loved this.

    Great film. Needs a sequel, sooner rather than later. I remember Angela Goethals from V.I. Warshwski. That was what initially got me onto the film. Maybe a suggestion for your sister station? I'm a fan of both movies.
    Anyway, is the change in story, format and tone predictable? Yes. Was there another way to go in act 3? I don't see how it could've gone in ANY other direction. Besides, it feels to me like we need a sequel. They could retool the concept they have so that it works. I like the idea of the romance and the team up.

    Kinda like a Slasher Saw, where Leslie lays out everything to make him survive final girl showdowns as Jigsaw did, would be awesome.
    But I love the original, sadly it flew under my radar for years, no wonder it failed at the box office. But it was the mid 2000s so with the internet of today and movies like Terrifyer getting so much attention, it is the time to rise again for Leslie.

    That MTV pitch sounds interesting, and with the film being a breakdown of horror it'd be interesting to see where that'd shift or change. Seeing in universe defense classes for slashers or for saw type traps. And how that could affect slashers love of the game.

  • @kodiekulp

    I remember when the first film came out and it was good just because it was such a new and unique voice which normally doesn't happen anymore . Normally you get one or two unique voices and then 10 years of people copying it
    I have no clue they tried or even did anything with a sequel I've never talk about it but, anyways, love these videos. Sometimes give you a hard time or playing but I really really love this content I would love to see you do some of the more not as popular I guess let's say Brian yunza stuff ..

      Yeah, I would have to agree. The first one just has the cheap kind of feel to it and I can see it doing wonders with full support of a major studio behind them along with a budget that can hire some great actors and top-tier production.
      If they put their pride aside and take a deal like that, it would do great.
