Top 10 Best Horror Movie Sequels

[Applause] welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most worthy follow-ups to great horror movies we may be diving into some significant plot points here so a spoiler alert is now in effect she's alive alive number 10 28 Weeks Later get back get back car get in the car get in the car get in the car get in the car what makes a great horror sequel for that matter how far should future installments differentiate themselves from the OG 28 Weeks Later couldn't feel more removed from its predecessor Danny boils 28 Days Later this sequel from director Juan Carlos fres nadoo fills in line with audience expectations for a more typical zombie outbreak scenario come on the loneliness and sprawling empty Landscapes of Bo's Vision are replaced with a more action orientated role of how the rage virus has spread and what humanity is doing to combat the inevitable why the hell you hear their mother had very special blood a natural kind of immunity to the virus 28 Weeks Later as a result feels like both a Sequel and a companion piece of sorts and you don't need to be familiar with Ball's original to enjoy the ride number nine The Exorcist 3 William Peter blatty author of the original Exorcist novel helmed this second sequel to The genre defining 1973 adaptation of his work it's a problem that I'm working on Father all this bleeding The Exorcist 3 combines elements of police procedurals and occult Terror as Lieutenant William kinderman investigates a series of violent killings these ritualistic murders all contain the meticulous handiwork of the long deceased Gemini killer which raises questions as to what in the devil is going on the Gemini is dead no I am not I'm alive I go on I breathe look at me look at me George C Scott and his co-star Brad durf both deliver career defining monologues while the set pieces are creepy and Ultra disturbing I believe in Murder I believe in pain I believe in cruelty and infidelity oh and the exis 3 also contains one of horror Cinema's finest jump scares full stop number eight Halloween happy Halloween Michael we're living in the era of the recel directed sequels that reboot a franchise while ignoring all previous sequels this can often be a dicey proposition and usually delivers mixed results but 2018s Halloween was a notable exception I'm sorry I can't do it gotcha director David Gordon green captured the Menace and unpredictability of John Carpenter's original while also updating some of the brutality for the late 2010s sure some fans lamented the changing of key plot points such as Lorie Strode now not being related to Michael Myers then again these sorts of controversial decisions are often what sets certain sequels and reels apart from the pack goodbye Michael number seven Scream 2 West Craven's original scream wasn't the first film to contain meta commentary about slasher Cinema but it's arguably one of the most influential never ever ever under any circumstances say I'll be right back cuz you won't be back I'm getting another beer you want one yeah sure I'll be right back it's 1997 sequel Scream 2 also has a lot of fun dissecting and deconstructing many of the tropes that we love within the genre are you suggesting that someone's trying to make a real life sequel stad to who' want to do that sequels suck no man oh please please by definition alone and Fe your film screenwriter Kevin Williamson pokes gentle fun at the horror sequel's reputation for diminishing returns while at the same time employing some black humor amidst all of the grizzly slayings the production of Scream 2 was complicated and chaotic but the end results speak for themselves I've got my whole defense planned out I'm going to blame the movies it's pretty cool huh it hasn't been done before number six doctor sleep the task of creating a equal to Stanley Cub's Landmark adaptation of stepen King's The Shining couldn't have been [Music] easy here's Johnny writer director Mike Flanigan had some gigantic shoes to fill yet many fans couldn't wait to step back into the Overlook Hotel for another trip Into Darkness Dr sleep isn't without its problems he said you'd come back and you did good however Flanigan's eye for composition allows his updated Vision to successfully distance itself from both King's Source material and Cub bric's AER film Dr sleep feels very much like its own thing rather than a legacy picture and this helps Flanigan's work step up to the plate and take a swing at greatness are you going to take your medicine I'm not [Music] oh look at that I'm sorry number five A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors this is it Jer they big breaking TV this franchise has done better than most when it comes to successful sequels West Craven's New Nightmare from 1994 was an admirably meta take on Freddy Krueger but fans of a certain age will likely point to 1987's Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors as a series High Point we're here we're here we're in the dream this entry has it all from Dawkins amazing theme song to a memorable and likable cast of characters Dream Warriors is also where Kruger's Wise Cracks begin to filter in more prominently balancing proper Scare Tactics with moments of mean-spirited levity sorry kids I don't believe in fairy chaos we celebrate a lot of The Nightmare sequels but Dream Warriors stands the test of time when it comes to rewatchability number four Bride of Frankenstein back in 1935 the genre of horror sequels was in its infancy with filmmakers still testing the waters in regards to what they could achieve this makes Bride of Frankenstein all the more amazing to watch today since it gets so many things correct right from the jump the cunning of Frankenstein in his Mountain laboratory taking dead men apart and building up a human monster there's the insertion of more humor into the proceedings which works but these moments are then ju deposed against classic horror scares and scenes of real emotional pathos go you live go you stay we belong dead meanwhile Elsa lanchester's portrayal of the titular bride is nothing short of iconic a word that's tossed around a lot but which definitely fits the bill here [Music] she hatte me Bride of Frankenstein is truly as good as everyone says it is number three Evil Dead 2 there's something out there that that witch in the cellar is only part of it writer director Sam Ry and co-writer Scott Spiegel could have easily rehashed their gruesome horror Masterpiece the Evil Dead for a quick cash in Sequel we probably wouldn't be talking about either evil Evil Dead 2 or 1992's Army of Darkness if they had done that however that's because Evil Dead 2 instead chooses to revisit that cabin in the woods with a knowing sense of humor to go along with all of the red stuff what do you say we have some champagne H baby H sure after all I'm a man and you're a woman at least last time I checked the film still possesses many genuinely gross and frightening moments but Bruce Campbell's performance as Ash Williams adds physical comedy Beats that help make Evil Dead 2 feel like one of a kind H he who has come from the skies to Deliver Us from the Tails of [Music] the number two Dawn of the Dead George A Romero helped change the game with his original Knight of the Living Dead while also delivering two sequels that cemented his reputation as a legend 1985's Day of the Dead was outstanding but 1978's Dawn of the Dead is perhaps the perfect zombie movie full stop can't they smash the Glass St pretty indestructible they got no leverage under the truck I'm hoping they'll just go away after they find they can't get in much has been said about the film's intended or not commentary about commercialism but beyond this Dawn of the Dead has become a tent pole for the genre with those bay doors open there's going to be a thousand zombies in here that'll take the heat off us these guys are going to have their hands full the undead hordes see seem Unstoppable and our protagonist's sense of desperation leaves the audience with a profound feeling of hopelessness the world is quite simply on its knees and Romero ensures that these Stakes fill high from moment one to his harrowing finale how much fuel do we have not much all right before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions saw x a long anticipated direct sequel all to the original saw please don't kill me that's the last thing that you should be worried about now I want to play a game a quiet place part two don't speak don't breathe or else give me

[ __ ] the argument over whether Ridley Scott's original alien is science fiction or horror could also be applied to its sequel but ultimately it doesn't really matter because James Cameron's Blockbuster sequel is a beautiful example of both genres scary action-packed and futuristic I order to hold Fire coming out of the wall coming out of the goddamn wall [ __ ] if the first alien emphasizes isolation and fear then aliens underlines the hopelessness Humanity feels against these Xenomorphs as opponents heck Hudson says as much himself it's game over for almost everyone in Aliens That's it man game over man it's game over the audience of course reaps the Cinematic rewards of this Relentless high octane Thrill Ride what's your favorite horror sequel do you like any more than
