The proposed sequel
Does anybody know about the sequel that was supposed to be made in the mid 80's? There is a teaser for it at the end of some VHS.
shareYes, according to Wikipedia "In 1980s, Vestron Pictures hired Danny Steinmann to write and direct a sequel, though the film fell apart in pre-production due to rights issues." And I found this article that says this:
Alternately titled The Last House on the Left : Part 2 & Beyond The Last House on the Left, the sequel that Steinmann dreamt up was to take place at a summer camp, where teens were being knocked off by an unseen force; Krug. David Hess was tapped to reprise the role of Krug and though he accepted the offer, he wasn't exactly gung ho about bringing the character back to life ... "At the time I was working a lot in Europe, as usual, so I gave my name to the project and told, them ... basically ... when you get it going call me. That's the long and the short of it". Obviously, things never got going.

I don't know if it would've been as good as the original. It sounds like it would've dealt with the supernatural and the brutal realism is what made the original so memorable. I would've given it a chance anyways, though.
I've been waiting for you, Ben. share
