Thanksgiving 2: Eli Roth's Slasher Sequel Is Back With Gore & Surprises!

Thanksgiving 2: Eli Roth’s Return to Terror with New Characters

Eli Roth is cooking up something scary! You remember Thanksgiving, the wild horror film where people got killed on Thanksgiving day by a super weird (and creepy) killer. Yeah, well, Eli's making a sequel to Thanksgiving, which sounds crazy and more than exciting! Turns out, some of our favorite characters are back – think a vengeance-fueled Sheriff Eric, and Gaby, and, let's just say we are all wondering if the iconic killer will get resurrected!

Fans are thinking there's a chance for the movie to revive the original killer from Thanksgiving. And it's a super strong possibility that we’ll get a new Thanksgiving killing spree (because what else do you do on Thanksgiving?) with a really surprising (and gory!) storyline, in addition to seeing characters who didn’t get enough screen time back in the original film, so buckle up, horror fans.

Who Is Coming Back to This Bloody Feast?

You know, Patrick Dempsey (as Sheriff Newlon) – the guy we thought got burned beyond recognition? He is set to show up again! The thing about horror movie finales is that they're always good for giving that "death scene" a good second guess. But even though this "coming back to life" thing is the usual for slasher flicks, it definitely adds to the thrill!

The real shock was finding out that Addison Rae (from "He’s All That" fame) will also be back. Her role as Gaby seems more than important for Roth! He said there was no way it could be a proper Thanksgiving sequel without her - talk about major support from the director! Even though Addison isn't signed up to return just yet, we are sure to hear more about it as those cameras start to roll!

A Look Back: A Deliciously Gore-filled Original Thanksgiving

Think Thanksgiving, but a super gorey slasher, and you're close! Fans still talk about those scenes, especially when that killer (the guy everyone thought was the sheriff all along) goes all-out with that creepy-but-really-awesome kill montage. The best thing? It all happens in the original "Thanksgiving" and set up this thrilling world we'll all revisit soon!

The film is definitely one of the Movies you'll remember watching. Even those who don't get their kicks from scary films (and those that do!), those gory details and the hilarious but intense nature of Thanksgiving makes it a top pick for slasher movies!

The Return of the "Real" Killer, the Thanksgiving Movie, And New Thrills

With Eli Roth on the director’s chair for Thanksgiving 2, we're in for some super wild storylines, and lots of surprises for the horror genre!

There’s a bunch of rumors and chatter online, so those Thanksgiving fans are hungry for more, more, more!

It’s also crazy that we’re seeing some serious, and perhaps darker, plot twists and turns this time, It seems like the director’s not holding back, so get ready to really be scared (in the best way, of course!).

Thanksgiving 2 Release and Release Date

Let's be honest; we have to wait, and that can feel excruciating if you're a huge fan. There’s still no date locked in as of right now for this super awesome Thanksgiving 2 release date. But Eli Roth, who never misses an opportunity to put up those super scary trailers, is likely going to make those sneak peeks into the movie come out a while before the actual release.

I've already got those snacks stocked up and the popcorn ready! What's that, you want a date? Keep your eye on all the social media updates to stay informed! It looks like this is going to be one spooky film that will really get everyone in the mood for Thanksgiving. I wonder, could we be seeing another killing montage of super-gross deliciousness or a surprise cameo for an old slasher character?
