About Basket Case 2 (1990) — Duane's twisted new family of freaks

Frank Henenlotter returns to deliver another twisted chapter in the cult horror-comedy saga with *Basket Case 2 (1990)*, a wild ride that expands the bizarre world of Duane Bradley and his inseparable mutant sibling.

Whether you're drawn to its subversive themes or its gleefully grotesque visuals, *Basket Case 2 (1990)* delivers a sequel that's as memorable as it is unsettling.
