Oculus duo Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard have penned a sequel to Ouija that Universal Pictures will release in theaters October 21, 2016.

While the debut film, which followed a group of friends who must confront their most terrifying fears when they awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit board, was critically panned by press (review, and another review), it was a monster box office success ($100M worldwide).

“Bates Motel’s” Olivia Cooke starred in the adaptation of the Hasbro board game that was directed by Stiles White.

Platinum Dunes (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) produces Ouija 2 with Blumhouse.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
