The Black Phone 2 Brings Everyone Back

The phone is dead. And it's ringing. Director Scott Derrickson returns to his terror roots and partners again with the foremost brand in the genre, Blumhouse, with a new horror thriller, The Black Phone. Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer's previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney. 

So, I loved the first film, but I cannot for the life of me think what the sequel could be. Spoilers for The Black Phone, but Ethan Hawke's killer, The Grabber, died a gruesome death at the end of the first one. I guess the kids, played by Thames and McGraw, could be having flashbacks or something, but other than that, I am struggling to come up with what the story could be with so much of that original cast coming back. I guess we will find out eventually—more on this as we learn it.
