Freaky sequel probably won’t happen, says director

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In an exclusive interview with Comingsoon.net about the upcoming Freaky Blu-ray (PRE-ORDER HERE), director Christopher Landon lamented that the film will most likely not get a sequel, stating:

In terms of a sequel to Freaky, you know, I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen, because I honestly don’t know if the studio has an appetite for a sequel. I think they’re quite comfortable with it being a standalone movie, and to be honest, I am too, because we didn’t really have an idea for a sequel. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, this has to be the continuation of this story,’ whereas with the Happy Death Movies movies they kind of had a whole life after that, but you never know.

While this could potentially be a bummer (I didn't think Landon's Happy Death Day needed a sequel either, but ultimately thought Happy Death Day 2 U was a pleasant surprise), I also think Freaky stands alone by itself. Honestly, horror fans, why does everything need to be a franchise? Maybe let some sleeping dogs lie.

Meanwhile, Freaky – directed by Landon and starring Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn – will hit Blu-ray February 15th!

So what do you guys think? Looking forward to a sequel? Either way, sound off below!
