While speaking on JoBlo Celebrity Interviews, Jericho explained how he got involved with the horror franchise, stating he likes to think he helped turn people onto the original movie.

"I was a big fan of the first movie. We discovered it on the Fozzy tour bus, and I was the first person that I knew was talking about it. So I was going on Talk is Jericho, my podcast, and letting everybody know about this movie that you have to see because I have a big horror fan contingency for the show. Then I did a Comic-Con horror con, I guess, where David was there and he was on Talk Is Jericho. That's kind of how it all started. I was like, you guys got to watch this movie, Terrifier this, Terrifier that. I'd like to think that I was part of the grassroots movement to turn people onto this film, and then, once it became kind of a talked about cult hit when Damien started talking about doing part two, he asked me if i wanted to be involved, and I was like, of course. Just tell me what time and what mental institution in Staten Island i have to be at."

Jericho is scheduled to challenge Mark Briscoe once again for the Ring Of Honor World Title during next week's edition of AEW Dynamite. You can read more about that here.
