Above is Damien Leone's latest message on his Facebook page. In the message, the director revealed that Terrifier 2's filming has not yet been completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Damien added that once the filming was done, he still needed to find a distributor for the movie. Damien then reminded his fans that Terrifier 2 was a completely independent project and was funded by Indigogo and a group of private investors.
