it's safe to say that in the world of

horror movies sequels are rarely a good

thing for some reason the horror genre

lends itself to Long convoluted film

series with lots of retcons needless

plot twists and the ruining of once

beloved characters these tropes may make

horror sequels a tough watch and in the

worst cases can retroactively ruin the

original however as seen in the

following 10 films sometimes a horror

sequel can be just as good as if not

better than the film that came before

whether they carried on a good idea or

took the franchise in a completely new

Direction these 10 horror sequels which

aren't always the second film just to

let you know all stand up as an

excellent movie in their own right and

somehow manage to avoid the dreaded

sequel curse I'm to live from what

culture horror and these are 10 horror

movie sequels that are practically

Flawless number 10. Annabelle creation

not only is 2017's Annabelle creation a

sequel but it's also a spin-off what a

deal the fourth film in The Conjuring

franchise and the direct follow-on from

2014's Annabelle this movie tells the

story of the the eponymous doll and how

it came to be possessed by a demon so

it's a prequel too this deal just keeps

getting better and better creation

depicts how the demon inside Annabelle

was First Unleashed under the world how

it terrorized a group of Orphans and how

it eventually took the form of a young

girl who would murder her adoptive

parents leading directly into the events

of Annabelle the first Annabelle movie

was a big smash at the box office taking

over 257 million dollars not only did

its sequel take almost 50 million

dollars more but it was also heralded by

critics for being far more similar in

tone to the original Conjuring films

Annabelle creation takes all of the

elements of a classic supernatural

horror and plays them out perfectly it's

a gripping watch with some really

gruesome kills and above all else a

return to form for one of modern

Horror's biggest franchises number 9.

Final Destination 5. by the time the

fifth Final Destination film rolled

around audiences had grown sick of the

franchise's formula someone has a

premonition cheats death then they and

their pals are hunted down by the reaper

until the they too are claimed but this

installment in the franchise which was

released in 2011 did a lot to

re-establish the series as one of

Horror's juggernauts for a start it

brought back Mr Bloodworth from the

first two films an ominous presence that

gave Final Destination 5 some much

needed chills secondly out with a campy

over-the-top deaths of the old Final

Destination instead replaced with some

truly grisly ends including someone's

face being split open by a wrench the

film also makes good use of the 3D craze

that we sweeping Cinema in the early

2010s something that it was rightly

praised for and finally the ending

nicely ties it back to the very first

Final Destination picture without

spoiling anything this is done to

perfection and is a neat little reward

for those who have followed the films

since they started number eight where's

Craven's New Nightmare the iconic 1984

slasher flick A Nightmare on Elm Street

was written and directed by horror

Visionary and passionate bird watcher

where's Craven however by the time 1994

had rolled around Craven hadn't been

involved in the series for over five

years so he decided that it was time for

Freddie's Daddy to make a return

disappointed by the franchise becoming

more cartoonish in comical since his

departure the director created Wes

Craven's New Nightmare a picture far

more akin to his original views for the

series New Nightmare gets seriously meta

with Heather langenkamp the main actress

from the original Elm Street movie

playing a fictional version of herself

who is haunted by Freddy Krueger in the

real world langenkamp isn't the only

actor to portray a version of herself in

the film as both John Saxon and Robert

Englund also make appearances even Wes

himself turns up in the picture if that

doesn't hurt your head then nothing will

critics praise this movie for its

blurring between reality and the

fictional world of the existing

nightmare films as well as being a

welcome return to the terror scene in

the original number 7. sawtu the saw

films aren't everybody's cup of tea in

fact a cup of tea would not be advised

during the watching of these films as

you'll most likely throw it back up

again immediately however it is

impossible to deny their popularity the

nine Saw movies have made over a billion

dollars worldwide at the box office and

one of the most profitable films in the

franchise is its first sequel actioned

almost immediately after the first

picture's success or two is once again

all about the jigsaw killer and his

depraved set of games highlights this

time include a key buried in a pile of

syringes a box filled with hidden blades

a nerve agent that will kill everyone

unless they solve all the puzzles within

two hours wholesome fun for the whole

family the scale of the sadism is

definitely upped from the first saw as

the sequel features way more victims

than the previous movie audiences also

have an insight into jigsaw's mind now

which somehow makes him seem even more

deranged than before again it's not for

everyone but if you're partial to a

psychotic Gore Fest every once in a

while then you can't do much better than

sore 2. number 6. 28 Weeks Later Danny

Boyle's 28 Days Later broke new ground

when it was released in 2002 and helped

reinvigorate the zombie horror genre

although if you ask Boyle it's not a

zombie film Spanish filmmaker Juan

Carlos fresnadillo took on the

unenviable task of making a sequel to

the movie in 2007. 28 Weeks Later picks

up where the first film left off as the

inhabitants of one of the safe zones

struggled to contain an outbreak of the

rage virus with none of the original

Stars returning for this film it was

facing an uphill battle from the start

but it absolutely smashed it creating a

worthy successor to Boyle's original the

excitement and action of the first movie

are matched by the sequel which is just

as character-driven and emotional as

what came before it the fast-moving

zombies or not zombies whatever are just

as scary the second time around and the

vision of a post-apocalyptic London is

just as chilling although depending on

where in London you live you might not

notice the difference number five

Halloween 2018. understanding the

continuity of the Halloween franchise is

about as easy as understanding Michael

Meyer's facial expressions after the two

rob zombie-led efforts of the late 2000s

the series laid dormant for nine years

before it was picked up by director

David Gordon Green in order to take the

franchise which had been dwindling in

popularity and quality for some time

back to its roots green and his team

brought back original Halloween director

and all-round horror Legend John

Carpenter as an advisor he even did the

score for the film The First Time

Carpenter had supplied music to the

franchise since Halloween 3 in 1982. not

only did it bring back Jamie Lee Curtis

as Laurie Strode for the first time

since 2002 but it also brings back the

tension and excellent kills that fans of

the series had missed for so long

Curtis's performance greens directing

and a quintessential Carpenter score all

combined to make this film an entry into

the series worth celebrating if only

they hadn't named it the same thing as

the original that would have made things

a lot less confusing number 4. Bride of

Frankenstein we're going all the way

back to 1935 for this next sequel and

even further back to 1931 for the film

that spawned it James Wales classic

Frankenstein may not be scary by today's

standards but there is no denying the

impact it's had on the genre and on pop

culture as a whole many of the visual

conventions we associate with Mary

Shelley's Creations stemmed from this

movie and it was selected by

preservation by the U.S Library of

Congress in 1991. Wale made a follow-up

to Frankenstein four years later this

time focusing on Dr Henry Frankenstein's

quest to make a female mate for his

original creature this follow-up has

been praised for everything from its set

design to its sound recording to the

performance of its actors principally

Boris Karloff as the monster and Ella

Lancaster in the titular role much like

the original Bride of Frankenstein was

also preserved by the Library of

Congress in 1998 a rare feat for a

horror film and its sequel the original

Frankenstein was a tough act to follow

but James Whalen all those involved

surpassed all expectations and proved

that lightning could strike twice if

you'll pardon the pun number three Evil

Dead 2 Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell make

movie Magic look easy whenever the two

of them work together this sequel to Sam

raimi's original horror film The Evil

Dead sees Campbell's Ash Williams once

again at the mercy of the Book of the

Dead instead of his friends from the

first film ashes the this time joined by

Annie nobe the daughter of the

archaeologist responsible for digging up

the book in the first place whilst the

first movie was a huge success and an

instant classic many fans critics and

Publications have called Evil Dead 2 the

better of the two pictures its special

effects are more advanced the gore is

turned up to 11 and Campbell's betrayal

of Ash is even better than it was before

it helped establish him as a horror icon

and raymie as a director to keep an eye

on the shame he never went on to do

anything bigger really isn't it Army of

Darkness saw Ash doing his thing way

back in yield in medieval times in the

TV show Ash vs Evil Dead picked up his

story again but it's Evil Dead 2 that is

the firm fan favorite among Evil Dead

fans number 2. screen 2 the first scream

film also directed by Wes Craven was

revolutionary for the first time horror

movie characters were aware of the

conventions of horror movies and used

them to their advantage did it keep most

of them alive well no but at least they

tried so how do you create a sequel to a

film that's all about subverting

conventions why you subvert people's

expectations on sequels of course screen

two released just one year after the

original in 1997 is about a copycat

killer obsessed with the murderer from

the first movie it features a lot of the

returning cast members as well as big

names like Sarah Michelle Geller and

Jade Pinkett joining the action it's not

just as clever and meta as the first

scream film but crucially Scream 2 still

works as an out and out horror it's got

a compelling villain a strong lead

Survivor in Neve Campbell Sydney

Prescott and more dead bodies than you

can shake a ghost face mask at number

one Dawn of the Dead just to clarify we

are not talking about the 2004 remake of

Dawn of the Dead by Zack Snyder that

film is good but it isn't actually a

sequel also how can anything hold a

candle to the Brilliance that is George

a Romero's 1978 original Romero waited a

decade to make a successor to his

original zombie flake Night of the

Living Dead which is good but nowhere

near as good as this follow-up Dawn of

the Dead follows survivors of a zombie

outbreak as they hole up in a shopping

mall asides from being gory zombie

bashing fun Dawn of the Dead is also a

comment on consumer-driven society as

the survivors gradually succumb to a

hedonistic lifestyle brought on by the

mall's luxuries the movie was not a box

office smash at the time and many

critics decried its overly bloody nature

as nothing more than superficial however

in the years that have followed it has

grown a huge fan base despite a rocky

start Dawn of the Dead has now

established itself as one of the titans

of zombie horror as well as one of the

most beloved cult movies to ever grace

the screen and that's our list what

horror movie sequel is perfect to you
