And while reactions might not be as positive as director David Gordon Green would like them to be, it’s worth noting that making a sequel of a beloved horror classic is a tough act to master. Regardless of the trailer’s brilliance, a vast majority of horror fans will be seated to witness the film come this October.
Before leading the DCU, James Gunn lent his helping hand to a major horror flick
