‘The Mutilator’: This 1980s VHS Splatter Classic Is Now Getting

By sword, by pick, by axe, by sequel.

If you’re a horror fan of a certain age, you’ll be familiar with The Mutilator. This 1984 underrated slasher sports one of the most infamous VHS covers in the history of B-horror. There have been two commonly used posters for The Mutilator over the years. They are both crude depictions of a mostly nude woman hanging up on the wall next to her dead friends. It’s gritty, it’s gross, it’s wrong and it’s a whole lot more salacious than anything in the movie itself.

Now it’s 2021 and Mad Monster reports that the arguable classic is getting a direct sequel titled Mutilator 2. Original creator Buddy Cooper will write and direct the follow-up which stars Terry Kiser (Friday the 13th Part VII, From a Whisper to a Scream) and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt). Legacy cast Ruth Martinez and Bill Hitchcock are also reportedly signed on for the sequel which is set to start filming next year.

TheMutilator 2 press release shared by OK PRODUCTIONS:

38 years after the release of the cult classic film, The Mutilator, writer/director Buddy Cooper is bringing back the bloodbath with the long awaited sequel, Mutilator 2. Starring such horror icons as Terry Kiser and Damian Maffei. As well as The Mutilator alumni Ruth Martinez and Bill Hitchcock.

“I had 4 copies of The Mutilator (including a heavily edited family friendly version!) and a promotional standee as a kid, so to be joining this sequel, working with Bud Cooper, some of the original returning cast, and jumping back in to raise some hell with Terry… it’s surreal. I am beyond excited.” – Damian Maffei
