Hilarious internet reactions as The Strangers: Chapter 2 is set to hit theaters on September 26

The release date of the film definitely gave viewers of the first part the chills, prompting them to take to the internet to share their nervous anticipation for the movie.

"People are strange when you're a stranger," a user pointed.

This user sure has a point here—people can come across as quite strange when you're a stranger. Moral of the story: Listen to your parents about not talking to strangers, especially ones wearing psycho-looking masks!

"Imagine surviving the first movie just for them to spin the block 💀," wrote another.

Maya, the main character of the movie, managed to survive the first film after so much difficulty, and now she's back in Chapter 2 to fight for her life once again. Some people just can't catch a break!

Now that we're just a few months away from The Strangers: Chapter 2 hitting theaters, you know what time it is—time to fear every stranger you meet all over again!

"It’s funny bc i heard the original plan was to release all 3 within a year or less, maybe they decided against and put more effort," a user said.

It seems the makers initially planned to release all three parts of the trilogy within the same year and keep us scared nonstop but decided to take it slow instead. And according to this user, that means they’re putting more effort into each film rather than rushing through. Smart move!

"How is this a franchise? Get a gun, find a strongpoint room, sit in a corner, masked dude walks in, drop him. Movie over." commented another.

After all, everything is about proper execution. Maybe the protagonist just needs to rally their thoughts!

The Strangers: Chapter 2 sure has piqued the interest of moviegoers, who are eager to see how much farther the sequel can push the horror.
