Doug was one of the cameramen who followed aspiring slasher Leslie Vernon around Glen Echo in Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. He’ll have some familiar faces behind and in front of the camera. As we reported when the sequel was announced, director Scott Glosserman and writer David J. Stieve are back, with Nathan Baesel returning as Leslie, Angela Goethals as reporter Taylor Gentry and Robert Englund as Doc Halloran.
Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon picks up 20 years later. Leslie learned his trade studying Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Now he has to contend with killers who can go viral. And one of the actors joining him knows a thing or two about becoming a modern slasher icon. David Howard Thornton, Art the Clown himself, has a key role in the sequel.
The filmmakers are planning an October 27, 2027 premiere in Salem, Massachusetts. Fans can also request a hometown double feature that pairs the original film with the sequel that same night.
