We had learned a few months back that a sequel to last year’s The VelociPastor – a horror movie about, yes, a priest who turns into a dinosaur – was in the works, and writer/director Brendan Steere has now revealed in a chat with THR that the follow-up is more of a “spiritual sequel” than it is a direct sequel. It’s a vampire film titled Outback Dracula, oddly enough.
THR explains that Outback Dracula “shifts the madness to 1880s Australia, where a psychic, lesbian schoolteacher teams up with the world’s greatest adventurer to find her missing girlfriend and to defeat Dracula and his Golden Army of the Undead.”
“The movie will have the same insane, anything-goes tone as the first film that we all fell in love with,” Steere told the site. He explains that Outback Dracula, which will be made with a significantly higher budget than The VelociPastor, is “an Australian LGBTQ+ vampire movie.”
Furthermore, The VelociPastor and Outback Dracula will be the first two parts of a “spiritual trilogy” of over-the-top horror-comedy tales, with the third film not yet announced.
