One I wholeheartedly agree on.

My other choices would be...

Bride of Re-Animator
Evil Dead 2/3
Dawn/Day of the Dead
Halloween 2
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Piranha 2: Flying Killers

And call me crazy, but I liked From Dusk Till Dawn 2 and 3.

Even just that picture gives me the heebie jeebies

DAWN OF THE DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD are not sequels!

They are stand alone movies in a certain universe!

They CAN exist without Night of the Living Dead.

They share no characters, and only have zombies in common.


BUT... I WILL concede with the rest of the Corner, and I'll consider them sequels for this thread...

So Dawn of the Dead is the ULTIMATE sequel...next to ALIENS, of course.

Best sequels of all time-
"The Bride Of Frankenstein"- This is what a sequel should be. A movie that takes the story and/or themes of the original and improves on them. Not a mere continuation, this stands on it's own legs as a horror masterpiece.

"Evil Dead 2"- Technically this movie shouldn't even work. It's a rehash of the original with a bigger budget. So why does it work? It's all in the execution, baby. Raimi took his generic horror tale and deconstructed it from the ground up. By placing responsibility for the entire movie on the shoulders of one actor and turning the chaos up to 11 he made one of the greatest post-modern horror flicks ever. And yes, it stands on it's own feet as well.

"Dawn Of The Dead"- Duh.

Honorable mentions go to-
"Son of Dracula"
"Psycho 2"
"Friday the 13th Part 2"

BTW- I deliberately left "Aliens" off this list only because I classify it as sci-fi. So there.

I forgot Beyond Re-Animator


I dug that movie
post #20 of 38
The obvious: Dawn, Evil dead II and III, Child's play II,...
And the sequel I'm waiting for: 1000 Corpses II.

Definitely. The only Friday the 13th to attempt to rationalize Jason Voorhees. Ginny is far and away the smartest character in any of the movies. I do have a soft spot in my heart for parts III, VII, and X for their sheer schlock value.

I'd add:

Night of the Demons 2
Evil Dead 2
Dawn of the Dead
Phantasm II & III
Nightmare on Elm St. 3

I didn't like Dusk Till Dawn 3 when I first saw it but I watched it again the other day and it's a lot better than I thought it was.

This really isn't true the begining is just a retelling of the first one and the movie really doesn't start until he falls in the mud puddle. (and yes in the retelling of the intro i know sam and the gang left out the rest of the characters besides the girlfriend but they couldn't get them all back not even the same girlfriend to set up part 2)

Bruce campbell on his site has a real recent interview where the interviewer basically calls it a rehash true and bruce doesn't agree.

I ResetSmith take part 2 as:

Some evil spirit comes out of the cabin at the end of the first one and your led to believe it "gets him" but in part 2 you see that it just hits him in the chest and he does a header into a puddle.

In part one the screen goes black at the point of the camera hitting his chest, in part 2 it shows what happened from that point on.

watch them again at these 2 points and i'm sure you'll agree that it truely is a sequel. (not a rehash)

Is Beyond Reanimator that good though? Everybody I know that saw it, told me to not bother (sorry a little off subject, but I cannot rest till I have the truth).

Yeah, I remember hearing this on the audio commentary, something about them not having the rights to the footage from the first film. They probably should have just started where they left off or something. I think a lot of this confused many people in the audience.

It's not that good. Not that good at all. If you love the Re-Animator movies, then you should see it, every scene with Combs is great...he's great...but the movie is kinda weak.

It does however have a great ending that in a proper world would lead right into the fourth...and hopefully good...Re-Animator movie.

Including myself and my two buddies, I think there were maybe ten people in the theater opening night. I can tell you no one but us were all that confused about the retelling of the first one. We were just curious as to why they refilmed sequences from the first. I don't think anyone else there had even seen the first, so they couldn't have cared less.
At any rate, it's a rehash. Just like a Friday the 13th sequel. Same setting, same threat, same plot.

I'm glad Gremlins 2 is getting recognition. I just watched both of them this week and they were a pivotal part of my childhood. It's a shame Joe Dante isn't a bigger name than he is. Is Looney Tunes: Back in Action any good? Gremlins 2 is practically a cartoon...

And Beyond Re-Animator is GOOD, dammit!

i couldn't disagree more, i find that in each movie the world is more taken over by zombies and the hope for humanity looks more bleak.

night shows people working together and that that night was almost like a freak thing and humans survive it. In dawn it apears that the world is starting to begin to be taken over as the radio and TV broadcasts quit airing. And in day they hope to just find another group of people underground and in the end they just sort of give up on humanity a retire on an island to live out the rest of their days.

so i think they are sequels!

Night: "We whipped em and got a little bit."
Dawn: "We whipped 'em and we got it ALLLLLL"
Day: "We whipped 'em and we got the GREEK SALAAAAAAAD"

If you like a lot of in-jokes in your movies, then go see the "Looney Toons" movie.

So many to choose from...but I would go with Army of Darkness and Aliens. I know, Aliens could be described as a sci-fi movie but I don't care.
