Canceled sequel
In the 1990s, writer/director Jay Woelfel wanted to work with Full Moon Pictures and thought that a sequel to one of their films might get their attention. Along with Dave Parker, Woelfel co-wrote a story called The Tree of Screams and pitched it to Full Moon as a possible sequel to Seedpeople. Executives at Full Moon reportedly loved the script but said, "Unfortunately, Seedpeople is probably the only film we’ve ever made that we will never make a sequel to."[3]
Other media
The Seedpeople appear in the fifth issue of Dollman Kills the Full Moon Universe, a crossover comic featuring Brick Bardo from Dollman tracking down different Full Moon monsters and villains to kill, published by Full Moon Comix in 2018.[4]
