Horror movie icon Lin Shaye, who has been a staple in the ‘Insidious’ franchise admits that she is unsure what is in store for the future of the horror franchise.
Following 2018’s ‘Insidious: The Last Key’, the second highest grossing film in the franchise, fans have been wondering if the franchise would continue.
Shaye discusses the state of the franchise, and rumors about another sequel, during an interview with Bloody Disgusting’s “The Boo Crew” Podcast (Apple Podcasts, Spotify)
“I know [my character is] dead, okay. I’m finally, really dead, and only in the Further in whatever [sequel] they do” Shaye said, per Bloody Disgusting. “There was some talk at one point – [but] nothing’s been talked about further. I think Blumhouse is so busy right now with so many things.
“I was nervous about the fourth one – part of me went, ‘Are they going to squeeze out another one?’ I was glorified by the fact that it was so successful and people loved the story. For me, it was heaven. It really was.
“But I don’t know the answer,” she continues. “I know there’s been some talk of a possible [fifth Insidious], and I’ve heard talk about an outline, and it wouldn’t have Elise featured – I am seriously in the Further,” she clarified.
“I know [co-creator] James [Wan] had thoughts about going back to the first Insidious and exploring that family,” she adds with a disclaimer that she has no idea if this is what they’d end up doing. “That would be fun, but I also don’t want to beat a horse – if it’s it, and people go, ‘Gee I wish there was another one,’ well, too bad,” she laughs.
