Dread Central recently caught up with writer/actor Leigh Whannel (’Saw’, ‘Dead Silence’) about the upcoming sequel to ‘Insidious’.

James Wan is set to return for the sequel as well as some characters from the original film. Whannell has revealed that his character Specs and his partner Tucker (played by Angus Sampson) are coming back for ‘Insidious 2′.

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.
