Are you ready for the return of The Jester? Well, thanks to DREAD, we’re getting the slasher sequel in theaters nationwide for two-nights in September, in time for Halloween season. The screenings are on September 15th and 16th from Fathom Entertainment. Here’s a synopsis for those that need one.

On Halloween night, teen magician Max finds herself locked in a brutal showdown with the Jester, a nightmarish and supernatural trickster with real dark magic and a killer act. As illusions turn lethal and every escape is a trap, Max must pull off the ultimate trick: staying alive. On this deadly night, the only escape… is to beat the devil at its own game.

The masked killer, The Jester, returns in a deadly game where surviving means outwitting a killer who’s truly magic. From his first introduction in Colin Krawchuk’s viral short films, to the beloved feature film THE JESTER, the eerie killer has enthralled audiences and developed a cult following. In this highly anticipated sequel, audiences can look forward to an even deeper descent into the twisted mind of The Jester.

THE JESTER 2 is written and directed by Colin Krawchuk (The Jester). Starring Michael Sheffield (The Jester), Kaitlyn Trentham (Murder Made Me Famous, Within The Woods), Jessica Ambuehl (Becoming, The Dream Motel) and Dingani Beza (23 Minutes to Sunrise, Marshall’s Miracle). Produced by Patrick Ewald, Cole Payne and Jake Heineke.

The two-night Fathom Entertainment theatrical release will include an exclusive look at the making of THE JESTER 2, with a behind-the-scenes featurette. Join director Colin Krawchuk, and the entire cast, as they reveal how the chilling sequel was brought to life, complete with cast interviews, on-set footage, and a deep dive into the creation of the film’s most terrifying moments. Fans won’t want to miss this special look behind the curtain, which can only be seen on the big screen.

Tickets for THE JESTER 2 will be available on August 15 at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).
