Writer and star Leigh Whannell has confirmed his involvement in the sequel to last years horror hit INSIDIOUS. The co-creator of SAW will see him return as ‘Specs’ alongside Angus Sampson’s ‘Tucker’; the two paranormal investigators who aided Lin Shaye’s creepy ‘old lady’ psychic. Speaking to Dread Central, Whannell went on to say:-
I can say that yes, my character will be seen in INSIDIOUS 2. It may probably bum a lot of people out, though, to hear this news. It’s part of the reason I don’t even read the internet message boards anymore; there was this hatred that spewed out from fans saying ‘I hated those guys! They sucked! They ruined the movie!’ so there will probably be a lot of people out there who will be disappointed to hear that the Specs and Tucker characters will be coming back. (laughs)
The characters brought a bit of comic-relief to the intense spooky film about parents (Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) struggling to deal with their comatose son, who they discover has been possessed in another otherworldly realm.
