Red alert! We’ve got the cast and director lineups for the upcoming Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge! Rad Chad makes a triumphant return in this follow-up to 2019’s horror anthology Scare Package along with fellow returning characters and cast members Jeremy King, Final Girl Jessie (Zoe Graham), and Rad Chad’s video store foil Sam (Byron Brown). In addition to returning favorites, additional cast joining in on the madness include Rich Sommer (Mad Men, Summer of 84), Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall, Night of the Comet), Graham Skipper (Beyond The Gates, VFW), Maria Olsen (Paranormal Activity 3, Starry Eyes), and Shakira Ja’nai Paye (Obama’s Other Daughters, the upcoming House Party reboot).
On the directors’ front, we have returning director Anthony Cousins, with The Night He Came Back Again Part VI: The Night She Came Back, a sequel to his previous segment, with star Chelsey Grant. New directors include actress Alexandra Barreto (All Americans, Mayans M.C.) with her segment Welcome To The 90s; Australian filmmaker Rachele Wiggins (Deadhouse Dark) with the segment We’re So Dead; UK filmmaker Jed Shepherd with his segment Special Edition which will reunite Shepherd with cast members from Shudder’s sensation HOST which he co-wrote and produced.
Co-creator Koontz says, “Sequels have such a maligned, but significant part of horror history, so we couldn’t resist tackling the tropes that we know and love so well from our favorite horror franchises.” When it comes to battling that maligned association, Koontz adds, “We knew that in true sequel fashion we’d have to go bigger, funnier and gorier, and this batch of filmmakers embraced that challenge in every way!” Back in December, we gave you a sneak peek at the teaser for the upcoming sequel, check out the official synopsis below:
Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge immediately follows the events of the original with the survivors attending the funeral of “Rad Chad” Buckley, which quickly devolves into an elaborate series of death traps centered around Chad’s favorite films, forcing the guests to band together and use the rules of horror to survive the bloody game.
Stay tuned for more Scare Package II news, in the meantime revisit Scare Package on Shudder now.
