Leslie Vernon will rise again.

It’s been 20 years since the 2006 slasher mockumentary “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon” became an indie horror hit, and a long-discussed sequel is officially underway, Variety can confirm. Titled “Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon,” it will follow the further adventures of the then-rising serial killer Leslie Vernon.

Director Scott Glosserman and writer David J. Stieve are returning for the sequel, as well as original stars Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals and Robert Englund.
