CZAR · 05-20-2010, 05:32 PM

Thought this might be interesting. What direct sequel meaning the first sequel of a franchise (part 2) would u consider the best? I listed pretty much the most popular and important horror film sequel's out there. If the sequel u prefer isnt listed just reply with the film name. Also list what u think is the worst direct horror sequel as well. My thoughts and selections below. Got Em!!

Best Sequel - Friday the 13th Part 2

Worst Sequel - The Ring Two

Top Five
1. Friday the 13th Part 2
2. Halloween II
3. Phantasm II
4. Jeepers Creepers 2
5. I Stiil Know What You Did Last Summer

Love Hellraiser 2 but went with Evil Dead 2

I'll just throw out a show of hands for how many have actually SEEN Psycho II?

Yes, the critics howled at the time, but you had Richard ("Patrick") Franklin who'd worked with Hitchcock, one of the first breakout screenplays by then-unknown Tom Holland (THE greatest horror genius of the 80's), Vera Miles, the same Universal set, and Tony Perkins looking like he hadn't aged a day since 1960.

...Now THAT'S how you do a horror sequel.

I dont remember it if I did watch it as a kid but it did get good reviews and Im sure its a good film. I hope they release all the psycho's on blu but what else is new? Got Em!!

from that selection I'm going to have to go with Evil Dead 2

I have a soft spot for those mid to late eighties sequels. I voted for TCM 2 because it might be the craziest of the bunch but I wouldn't argue with Evil Dead 2 or Phantasm 2 either.

Love Evil Dead 2 but like Hellbound: Hellraiser II just a bit more.

Evil Dead 2

Evil Dead II

Bride of Frankenstein

Quite liked Amityville II: The Possession. My favourite of that series thus far. Different approach than most horror movies.

Trigger89 · 03-12-2013, 05:51 PM

I would have voted for Psycho II. I really enjoyed the whole 'whodunit' story-line, along with the 'never seen it coming' ending. Anthony Perkins was a fantastic actor!

CHEЯNOБLY! · 03-14-2013, 07:25 PM

Jeepers Creepers 2...lmfao

Punishment1o1 · 03-16-2013, 06:17 AM

I hate that this poll is closed. Anyways, if I had to go with any of those on the list, it would probably be Halloween II. I like how it picks right up where the first one ended and how it actually stays pretty suspenseful. I didn't like the likes of Friday the 13th Part 2 and ANOES Part 2 very much.

Romero's Dawn of the Dead
Bride of Frankenstein
Friday the 13th Part 2
Halloween II (1981)

Return of the Living Dead Part II

Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn in most fun, but in terms of quality I might just have to go with Halloween II
