Leslie Vernon will return for a “sprequel”
Even since the cult debut of the 2006 horror mockumentary Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, fans have been after a followup from director Scott Glosserman. With plans now moving forward on what has been dubbed a “sprequel”, Glosserman reveals how individual support can help bring about Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon. Details from the official press release are as follows.
Scott Glosserman seeks help from fans for the making of Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon by offering the chance to be killed by Leslie Vernon! In 2006 director Scott Glosserman took the horror world by storm with his debut feature, Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon, the mockumentary which followed Leslie Vernon as he planned his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo. After years of rumors that Glosserman was preparing a new Leslie Vernon film the whole team, filmmakers & actors, are back for another round. This time Glosserman requests the help of Leslie Vernonâs loyal fans to compile financing for the âsprequelâ – a mashup of a sequel, prequel and remake â to Behind The Mask.
With Before The Mask, Glosserman has set a goal to be the first feature film to raise funds directly through crowd financing through a Facebook application. Already fans have flocked to the Before The Mask facebook page (http://facebook.com/BeforeTheMask) to pledge over $6000 by preordering special edition DVDs and merchandise for Before The Mask. And new items have been added to the Before The Mask store offering fans the opportunity to buy a walk on role, party with the cast at the wrap party, receive a phone call from the films star Nathan Baesel, or get killed in the new movie! The video below features a special message from Leslie himself asking Vernonites to join together to support the making of Before The Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon.
