2022 was a legendary year for horror. There were so many amazing original genre gems mixed in with some incredible bloody sequels. This included the long-awaited Terrifier 2 from director Damien Leone. The slasher sequel saw the return of horror fans’ favorite modern genre icon Art the Clown and was both a mega critical and box office hit. Now, while talking to Insider about the Terrifier franchise and its exciting future, Leone teased that he’s teaming up with horror legend Sam Raimi for his next original project.
“There is an original project I have in development with Ghost House Pictures, which is Sam Raimi’s production company,” Leone said. The director continued on saying, “So if that happens, that would be amazing. I’m really hoping that that could happen before Terrifier 3, or it might happen right after, we’ll see.” Leone also confirmed that he’s currently writing Terrifier 3.
If this mystery project does indeed happen this would be a match made in horror heaven. Raimi defined the horror genre in the 80s with The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 before he completed his wild trilogy with 1992’s Army of Darkness. His other horror films include the underrated Drag Me To Hell and the recent Marvel sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While Raimi hasn’t been in the director’s chair much in the past decade, his production company Ghost House Pictures has produced many new horror hits since its conception in 2002. This includes The Grudge, Evil Dead (2013), Don’t Breathe, and Crawl. The next horror venture for the studio is the latest installment in the Evil Dead series, Evil Dead Rise.
