Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) is a beloved cult horror film that celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. With that great milestone came the news of a long-awaited sequel, Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon, which begins shooting this Fall. After the original debuted at SXSW in '06, word of mouth spread like wildfire and a new horror icon was born. Genre favorites Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Zelda Rubenstein (Poltergeist) rounded out the cast as well as the late Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood), who gave a great performance as Leslie Vernon's mentor "Eugene". A direct sequel was originally planned, but unfortunately didn't pan out due to financial restraints that ultimately did not provide an adequate budget for the project.
For many years, a sequel had been teased, rumored and gossiped, but now it can officially be yelled from the rooftops - LESLIE VERNON IS BACK! At a sold-out screening in LA on April 9th, "Vernonites" flocked to see the film on the big screen to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. There was also a Cast and Crew Q+A featuring writer David J. Stievie, director Scott Glosserman, actors Robert Englund, Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals and many more in attendance! At the end of the discussion, a surprise video played to the crowd, officially announcing the brand new sequel as a locked production. They then talked a bit about the Kickstarter campaign and how they hoped to secure as much additional financial backing as they can, but how they would only be able to get there with help from the fans.
With a launch date on April 22nd a goal set for $20,000, there was a little time to spread the word and build momentum. When the campaign officially began, they raised the goal in 9 minutes. In a few short weeks, they have far surpassed all expectations, with over $320,000 raised and a few days left in the fundraiser. Not only will Robert Englund be returning, but also the rest of the core cast and crew will be as well including Angela Goethals, who you may recognize as "Linnie McCallister" from Home Alone (1990). There is also rumored to be some new cameos from other genre-favorite actors as well, which will be announced soon. Writer David J. Stievie is back with another phenomenal script and is joining forces once again with director Scott Glosserman.
If you're able to support the project in any way or would like to pick up any Leslie Vernon merchandise, head to leslievernonreturns.com. There you will be connected directly to the campaign and can check out the vast array of perks that are in store for you. In the spirit of championing horror, we must band together to get projects like this off the ground and in movie theaters. Self distribution is becoming more commonplace in the industry and the fans help make it happen.
Be sure to follow the Cast and Crew on social media to follow their journey as they head back to Glen Echo! This episode was co-presented by Jeremy Morehead of Epic Film Guys. Check out his show and and all the incredible review episodes they've done on your favorite horror movies!

Shot on a $7,000 budget in just 7 days with a 3-person crew, the story follows Burt, a 69-year old street musician living with Parkinson’s, and Sammy, a wayward young man from New York who shows up with the bombshell news that he is Burt’s long lost son.
The film premiered at Cinequest in San Jose to critical acclaim including the award for Best Narrative Feature: Comedy. It later won Best Picture and Best Acting Ensemble awards at the Phoenix Film Festival. On May 3rd, it had its LA premiere at the Fine Arts theater in Beverly Hills, which drew a packed crowd.

Utilizing locations from local sources and keeping budget costs to a minimum, he completed his film for around $1,000. After this first successful outing that was on a learn-as-you-go basis and with a new script penned, Francis packed his gear and headed to Oregon to shoot his second short, The Gemini Project (2020).
While neither of the shorts gathered major industry attention, they certainly sparked some interest. After a lengthy process of optioning and failing to gather necessary funds, a house was sold in favor of the budget for The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024). Before long, a stacked cast of genre-film crowd favorites were attached to the project including Jim Cummings (Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond), Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes, Doctor Sleep), Sam Huntington (Detroit Rock City, Not Another Teen Movie), Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil, Insidious: Chapter 2) and Richard Brake (Mandy, Batman Begins).
The film premiered to a packed audience at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas and received rave reviews from moviegoers.

Aside from all the film work, he has also shot a handful of music videos for indie rock band, Mt. Joy including "Strangers", "Bathroom Light" and "Evergreen". He's also an avid collector of physical media and screen-used movie props including a piece of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) house.

Steve Barton is a film producer from NY who also happened to co-found Dread Central. His life has been a constant ever-changing dance for success and he's been steadily progressing throughout all the pitfalls that tried to break up his course. He's been an editor, a writer, an interviewer, a critic and a colleague. His profound love for horror and its community has always kept him hard at work at numerous projects at any given moment, but his support to the indie-filmmaking art form couldn't possibly go unnoticed.
Terrifier 2 has now reached $10 million at the box office on a $250,000 budget and Steve is the man that made the deal with Cinedigm to help get it distributed to all your local theaters. We chatted about the accidental marketing that took place, which he and the rest of the Terrifier crew had nothing to do with, and how this boost in social media engagement led to a world-wide Art the Clown cult. Steve also gives great industry advice to hopeful filmmakers and why you should never have backup plans if you're wishing to focus on your dream passion.
There's still time to see Terrifer 2 in your local movie theater - get there now! The film is meant to be seen with a packed audience. It's also streaming NOW on Screambox. Blu-ray comes out in December with exclusive editions dropping at Walmart and Best Buy, which you can pre-order NOW!

Kathleen Kinmont is famously known for the horror films Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Bride of Re-Animator as well as her character Cheyenne Phillips on the popular 90’s television show, Renegade. She’s also appeared in a lot of fun, obscure action flicks in the earlier portion of her career and has gone on to wear many hats in the entertainment industry from being a producer, writer and a director.
Kathleen has a brand-new book out called “I Should’ve Been Nicer to Quentin Tarantino” available now on Amazon, Kindle and Audible if you prefer the audio version. The book is fantastic and touches on so many different themes and experiences throughout her life and it truly can not be missed. She discusses her anti-bullying efforts, running into Johnny Depp at a bar, turning down Quentin Tarantino in her acting class at age 16 when he wanted to do a kissing scene with her and so many more snippets of greatness, your head will explode.
If you’re an LA native or would like to make a fun little road trip to meet Kathleen, she’ll be doing a signing at the Illiad book store in North Hollywood on July 22nd from 4-6pm to discuss the book and host a signing, so come on out! She might even have some exciting Halloween 4 memorabilia for sale and I believe you’ll be able to bring your own items to get signed as well! Thanks so much again to Kathleen for doing the episode. She is such a rockstar and one of the nicest people I’ve ever encountered in this industry. A tour de force on screen and an absolute sweetheart off the set.
I really hope you all enjoy the episode. Enjoy the show everyone!
