The Basket Case sequels are not recommended blind buys. I like them but there is a dramatic shift in tone towards mutant muppet humor that might be glaring to someone who expects more of the traditional horror found in the first. Henenlotter's absurdist style is more prominent in the sequels which features scenes like a bus full of oddities singing and dancing, or a Belial romance subplot. It is great how each film is continuous from the last and they are gems but nothing about them is as "normal" as the first.
Synapse Films has the US rights for the Basket Case sequels and will likely get them out soon. For years there has been speculation of a Synapse Basket Case 3 release as the previous US DVD was butchered full frame and long oop.
