There have been rumors for years now about a proper follow-up to Tobe Hooper's remake of THE TOOLBOX MURDERS. Looks like it's finally a brewin'! An official website for TBK: THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (aka TOOLBOX MURDERS 2) is up and running and lists Lance Henriksen, Jeffrey Combs, Red West and Brian Krause as part of the cast. Dean Jones, the FX artist on the first film is writing and directing.

The site has the following synopsis for the sequel: "Picking up directly after the events Tobe Hooper's 2003 version of The Toolbox Murders; TBK intensifies the terrifying exploration into one of Hollywood's most twisted and morbid serial killers in the annals of American history.

Survivors Nell and Stephen continue their night of Hell as they're rushed to the nearby Hollywood Memorial hospital. Meanwhile, next-generation , tech-savvy CSI detectives Cole and Barnes coordinate with a hard-nosed, LAPD criminal profiler McGavin to exhume TBK's modern day tomb and uncover its origins, leading toward a shocking revelation involving old Hollywood's seedy underground and one doctor's secret past.

TBK will shock, sicken, and thrill you while pushing every envelope imaginable as it leads you into the darkest recesses of what is to become one of the classic horror films of the millennium."

Jones told Bloody-Disgusting a few weeks back "This script is very powerful, provocative, and original and rises far above the last Toolbox, I work in a world where I create death on a daily basis and so with that in mind this script will have highest body count ever in the history of horror films. However, the story will not be gore for the sake of having gore...it has depth and style."



The first TOOLBOX MURDERS was directed by Tobe Hooper from a script by Adam Gierasch & Jace Anderson and starred Angela Bettis, Brent Roam, Juliet Landau, Sara Downing & Sheri Moon Zombie. It was based on the original 1978 film of the same name. More on the sequel when we hear it!
