Roessler always had thoughts of making a sequel, but it never made it into production… Until this year. Roessler and Encoe have spent the last few months working on Slaughterhouse II: Death Metal, which has been filming in and around the Motor Transport Museum and old feldspar mill in Campo, California.
Roessler was inspired to finally get Slaughterhouse II rolling after Quentin Tarantino held a screening of the first film at his New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and the screening drew in a full house.
