Help get a Sequel for Behind the Mask Made

I wanted to remind everyone about the efforts to fund a sequel to Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon. The kickstarter campaign only has 4 days left to go. Every little bit helps. Also with Kickstarter, you do not pay anything unless the funding goal is met.

So pledge $10. Heck pledge $1.

I loved the take Behind the Mask took on slasher films. It is a nice original story in the sea of mediocre remakes. It is by far one of my favorite horror films made in recent years.

Help get Sequel to Behind the Mask the Rise of Leslie Vernon Greenlit

If you’re like me, you loved the movie Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.  It is an awesome faux documentary on a Slasher Serial Killer.  I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.  Since I’m not good at synopsizing, here is the blurb from Amazon.

You know legendary maniacs Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. Now meet Leslie Vernon, the next great psycho-slasher. Nathan Baesel of INVASION stars as Vernon, a good-natured killing machine who invites a documentary film crew to follow him as he reminisces with his murder mentor (Scott Wilson of IN COLD BLOOD), evades his psychiatrist/nemesis (Robert Englund of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), deconstructs Freudian symbolism, and meticulously plots his upcoming slaughter spree. But when the actual carnage begins, where do you draw the line between voyeuristic thrills, mythic evil, and good old- fashioned slasher movie mayhem? Angela Goethals (24) and Zelda Rubinstein (POLTERGEIST) co-stars in this ingeniously twisted and awardwinning shocker that Film Threat hails as “a masterpiece…”.

Get the Blu-Ray or DVD.

There has been talk of a potential sequel for awhile now. The filmmakers are working to get funding to get the movie greenlit. This is where we all come in. They are not asking for donations. But, if you are interested, they are asking people to pre-order the sequel. You are not charged until they reach their goal. Kind of like how Kickstarter works. You can pre-order the DVD or Blu-Ray, get a poster, be an extra in the movie, be killed onscreen, etc.
