Halloween Horror Sequel ‘Curse of Crom 2’ Now Funding
A sequel to the 2022 Halloween horror movie Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween has launched a crowdfunding campaign and announced early details of Curse of Crom 2: Crom’s Fury.
In the first film, now streaming on Prime Video, high schoolers accidentally release an ancient entity on their hometown and must figure out how to stop it before Halloween Night.
From writer/director Rob York, the sequel returns to the haunted world of Mary Eldritch and the terrifying Irish entity Crom Cruach for a brand new feature film, inspired by family friendly classics from the 1980s and ’90s, like The Goonies, Gremlins, or Monster Squad, with a Hocus Pocus Halloween atmosphere.
“Curse of Crom 2 is a horror adventure throwback film,” says York, “Think The Gate or Monster Squad, with a Hocus Pocus Halloween atmosphere. We want to go bigger and crazier. There’s going to be hordes of monsters and we are relying completely on practical effects. And buckets of slime.”
The practical monsters will be realized by effects artist Chris Hanson (Hellboy, S. Darko, Hellraiser: Bloodline).
The soundtrack will feature songs by Dreamkid, New Arcades, and Kristine, with an original score by Randin Graves (He Never Left).
The film is set to feature performances by Colin Cunningham (X-Files, Blood Drive, Preacher) and Larry Bagby (who memorably played ICE in Hocus Pocus). The movie also stars original cast members Tanner Gillman, Monical Moore Smith, Halem Medina, Ryann Bailey, and Ariana Bagley.
In the film, co-written by Scott Baird, an ancient Irish entity abducts Mary Eldritch, and her step-dad Greg is forced to team up with the one person that may be able to save his adopted daughter: her deadbeat boyfriend Harvey. As hundreds of slimy monsters run amok, Greg and Harvey have to learn to work together as a monster fighting team before it’s too late for everyone.
Crom 2 is scheduled to be filmed this fall.
