It’s never too late for a horror movie to spawn a sequel – The Mutilator 2 is coming soon, a sequel to the slasher movie from 1984! – and Demon Wind is next up on the chopping block.
The cult horror movie from 1990 is getting a sequel with the upcoming Demon Wind 2: The Serpent’s Coil, an official project announced by the website Dread Central.
Dread reports, “Production on the teaser and funding trailer is set to begin in May. The Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign will launch in July, and principal photography commences in late fall or winter.” Grime House Films and Teer/Mathis Productions are behind Demon Wind 2.
In Demon Wind 2: The Serpent’s Coil, “a team of occult researchers ventures to a rural area, where a suspected satanic murder took place at an old farmhouse, to uncover the secrets of the cult responsible. The team soon discovers that the murders are part of a much larger and more sinister force than they could have ever imagined. When a demonic artifact is found and accidentally activated, the team is plunged into a hellish, demon-infested world, where they must fight to survive or face a gruesome fate as part of the demonic legion themselves.”
Director Eric Mathis tells the site, “Like many of us, I’ve been a huge fan of the original Demon Wind since I was a kid, when my older brother rented it and I secretly watched it after he left it out. For years, I’ve been trying to track down the rights owners, and I finally managed to arrange a phone meeting and work out a deal to produce this film!”
“My goal is to honor the tradition of the original, which had so many incredible and memorable creature and kill effects,” Mathis continues. “We’re bringing the huge creature FX, loads of gory kills, and all the things we love as horror fans, and delivering them in a major way! We’ll explore the past, the characters, and their stories, and revisit the farm and Harcourt’s gas station, really play on all the things that made the original so great!”

In director Charles Philip Moore’s Demon Wind, “The strange and brutal deaths of Cory’s grandparents has haunted him for years. Determined to discover the truth, he has returned to the desolate region where they lived, along with a group of friends, to try and uncover the mystery. Ignoring warnings from the locals that the area is cursed, Cory and his friends soon realize that the legend is true, as the Demon Wind, possesses and destroys them, one by one, turning them into monsters from hell.”
