    Horror Sequels Better Than The Original

    What are some Horror sequels that in your opinion actually surpassed their predecessors and bettered their concepts? In my opinion a few superior sequels in the genre include:


    Phantasm II
    Friday The 13th Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
    A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and New Nightmare
    Saw II
    Aliens
    Predator 2
    Puppet Master 2, 3 and 4
    Evil Dead II and Army Of Darkness
    Hatchet II
    Maniac Cop 2 and 3


    To name a few, I'm sure there's more. I know some of my picks like Predator 2 may seem odd, but that doesn't mean I dislike the originals, I just like their sequels more. Predator 2 I enjoy better for seeing more of the Predator and in a different setting, and I liked Nightmares 3 and 7 better for being more elaborate and creative than the first Nightmare.

    Predator 2 better than the original?

    "An nightmare on Elm Street" is the best of the franchise to me. "Aliens" is very good" but it's not an horror movie anymore to me.

    Fortunately, "Evil dead II" is better than the first as it's some kind of remake with a more experienced Sam Raimi and a bigger budget.

    I'd say any of the three Friday the 13th's after the first one were better. Sure the first one is ground breaking and will no way ever be matched to anything nowadays, but I think Jason is what really makes the franchise. The ending battle when Mrs. Vorhees is trying to chase the main girl around is very tiring to watch. She knocks Mrs. Vorhees out like three fucking times and then runs away.

    I don't want anyone to think I hate the original. It's easily in my top 5 favorite horror flicks of all time, but I do think the sequels had a little more to them in some ways.

    It is always tough to say...I have much respect for the originals..for if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have any sequels and I think Alien is much better....

    even though I do agree with you on Hatchet II more than doubled the body count and no cgi in the flicks

    Phantasm II - arguable, I think the first had a better sense of dread as the characters try to figure out what's going on
    Friday The 13th Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 - sorry but 5, 6, and 7, are not as good (moviewise) as the first
    A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and New Nightmare - 3 has great set pieces and New Nightmare is my 2nd favorite, but both pale in comparison to the first
    Saw II - I can see that
    Aliens - eh, while it's more fun I think the first is a better movie
    Predator 2 - you sir are out of your mind...this movie is shit compared to the first
    Puppet Master 2, 3 and 4 - I'll give you 3 is better, but 2 and 4 suck ass
    Evil Dead II and Army Of Darkness - hard to decide my favorite but the original hold a special place in my heart
    Hatchet II - not even close, the first is way better
    Maniac Cop 2 and 3 - while 3 had some hilarious parts, both movies are schlock compared to 1

    The ONLY one I agree with is Predator 2, your odd pick, haha. I hate the first Predator movie (and 3rd for that matter), what an overrated piece of shit. Still fun to see others preferences...

    Hatchet 2? Really? And Saw 2? Pretty much your whole list I don't agree with.

    Although not better than the originals but just as good, arguably better:
    Hellraiser 2
    Hellbound: Hellraiser 3 (Underrated IMO)
    Exorcist 3
    Best overall sequel by far is Blade 2. That movie kicks ass, plain and simple.

    Predator 2 is not only a shitty sequel but a plain 'ole shitty movie.

    I didn't really care for Hatchet II that much. The first one is great though. I will probably have to catch it again.

    Phantasm II - I don't know. Maybe.
    Friday The 13th Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 - I didn't like part 6, but the rest were all wonderful and Jason is AWESOME!!!!
    A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and New Nightmare - Eh. I don't really like Freddy, but I did like watching him duke it out with Jason!
    Saw II - Agreed. I couldn't get into the first one story wise.
    Aliens - I love both Alien and Aliens. Do to the amount of action Aliens does have more re-watch value.
    Predator 2 - No way is that better than the first one. It's not even close.
    Puppet Master 2, 3 and 4 - Eh. The original is a classic.
    Evil Dead II and Army Of Darkness - As someone else already said. The original has a special place in my heart.
    Hatchet II - I liked them both equally.

    By far the best sequel compared to the original is Blade 2. That flick was just awesome and I loved what they did with those freaky ass vampire things.
