Interesting facts

Killjoy 3 is a 2010 American slasher comedy film and sequel to Full Moon's hit urban horror film, Killjoy. Released in 2010, this film is one of several made by Full Moon Entertainment in an attempt to resurrect old franchises. Other new films included Puppet Master: Axis of Evil and Demonic Toys 2.

Production

Director John Lechago intentionally moved away from the urban style of the previous two films, stating: “But then I also wanted to take it in the direction of what fans these days want to see, and the first thing I had to do was get rid of the urban thing. I don’t mean any disrespect to the previous guys, but I just really didn’t like it. I felt it was out of date and more like it was taking advantage of a culture and making a mockery of it.

Lechago was given the directing job after his earlier work caught the attention of Stuart Gordon, a friend and frequent collaborator of Full Moon founder Charles Band. The film was shot alongside Puppet Master: Axis of Evil at Ace Studios, located in the Nanhai District of Foshan, Guangdong, China.

Initially, it was unclear if Trent Haaga would return as Killjoy, as he had become a successful screenwriter and hadn’t been contacted for the film. In the eight years since Killjoy 2: Deliverance from Evil, Full Moon had lost contact with Haaga. Lechago used his friendship with Hagga as leverage to persuade the company to bring in special effects artist Tom Devlin, after they initially declined and planned to rely solely on their Chinese crew.

Three deleted scenes from the film were reused in a recap montage in the sequel Killjoy Goes to Hell. The scenes go by quickly, so the only way to see them is to play the footage in slow motion. The first scene shows the shaman outside the living room window as Sandie and Rojer clean up, but when Rojer senses his presence and turns, the shaman is gone.
