"It was a lot more work," lead Ty Simpkins says of Insidious: The Red Door, which brings back the franchise's original protagonists for the first time in 10 years. "It was a lot of fun. There were a lot more lines but that's fun to play around with, and Dalton is fully formed and complex now. It was a fun challenge."
Back in 2010, Simpkins spent much of Insidious's three-week shoot pretending to be in a coma, while his character Dalton's spirit wandered the spook-filled dimension we'd later come to know as The Further. Its sequel, Insidious: Chapter 2, gave him a bit more to do but even that was still very little in comparison to his role in The Red Door.
