Like many of you, one of my favorite fright flicks of the past few decades has been Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL. And today we have word the original movie's male lead, Justin Long was recently asked about his thoughts on a sequel – which he jokingly calls DRAG ME OUT OF HELL.

Justin Long on DRAG ME TO HELL 2:

And I think maybe [director] Sam [Raimi], I think we talked about it, like, setting you up for it. And I wonder, I always wonder if the movie had performed better would that have happened. But I never paid it that much more thought than that. So I certainly didn't think about what the character, I never gave it that much thought aside from obviously it would be cool to do.

He then talked a bit about what he thinks happened to his character after the ending of the original film:

He would probably, I don't know, if you witness something like that, you are forever changed. Thankfully, I don't have any frame of reference as to how. He'd be a disaster. He'd be a mess. He'd be in an institution. And also he'd probably be accused of having killed her. I'm sure there'd be some sort of murder trial. And if that's his defense? Like, 'Oh, I saw her getting dragged to Hell.' He wouldn't be able to say that in court. He'd be put away. It's fun to think about.

He continues:

I've been doing this podcast, and I've been dying to have Sam on it. So now I'm thinking it'd be so fun to get Sam and Alison together just to talk about that movie, to talk about other stuff. I have to do that. I haven't thought about this movie in a while, but now I'm like, god, there's all these things I'm curious about.

Hey, Raimi, why don't we call it, DRAG ME TO HELL TOO? Or DRAG ME 2 HELL? Sounds good to me! Buy the original movie on Blu-ray HERE.
