All these years later, believe it or not, the 1984 slasher movie The Mutilator is getting an official sequel, with The Mutilator 2 first announced by Mad Monster Party this week.
Buddy Cooper is returning to write and direct the decades-later sequel!
Terry Kiser (Friday The 13th Part VII, Weekend At Bernies) and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night, Haunt) will star, alongside Ruth Martinez and Bill Hitchcock from the original.
Alexander Taylor (Scream, Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street, Isolation, Paramount Plus’s Unknown Dimension: The Story Of Paranormal Activity, Arkansas, Eli Roth & Jason Blum’s Crypt TV) has signed on to score the upcoming sequel, Bloody Disgusting has learned.
Taylor said in a statement, “I’m so honored and excited to be a part of The Mutilator franchise. One of the best parts of this is the fact that Buddy Cooper is back! It’s rare for a legacy film to have the original writer and director come back, so you know this is going to be special. Buddy and I already have some cool themes and wild ideas for the score.”
Filming begins next year. You can watch the original movie’s trailer below.
