Worst horror sequels

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I usually like most of the sequels in a series/franchise, but some are just downright terrible. :X

Some of the worst horror sequels, IMO:

The Howling 7: Mystery Woman
Seed of Chucky
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (1985)
Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis and ROTLD 5: Rave to the Grave

Just to name a few. I'll list some more after, because it pains me to even think about them. :p

[Jigsaw]

Jason X
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
The Hidden II
Saw III
The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985)
Howling IV: The Original Nightmare
Howling: New Moon Rising


Probably others I don't remember at the moment.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

What's funny for me, is that movies like The Howling 7 and Seed of Chucky actually make Jason X and TCM: The Next Generation look like masterpieces, lol. IMO, of course.

[Jigsaw]

I have to see SOC again but I remember not being impressed by it.

[The Tall Man]

What's everyone beef with "Seed of Chucky"? I enjoyed it enough. I certainly liked it better than 1-3.

Howling 7 is easily the worst horror sequel ever. Game over.

:bow::bow::bow:

I'll admit to liking the 1st one, but I hate the other ones

The Invisible Woman
Invisible Agent
She-Wolf of London
American Werewolf in Paris
Return of The Fly

The Omen 2-4
Witchboard - The Possession

Amityville Horror 3
Poltergeist 2
King Kong Lives
Godzilla vs. King Kong
Fear 2 - Halloween Night (I know Betsy Palmer's in it, but it sucks)
Return of Swamp Thing
Return of the Killer Tomatoes

[The Tall Man]

Rich, really... ? "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" is worse than "A.D. '72"?

"King Kong vs. Godzilla" (the original Japanese version) isn't horror or science fiction. It is a satire. The dumbass Americans turned it into a straight movie for release here... and the monster footage in no way matches up.

T.M.

[Germaniac]

Halloween 6 - the Crap of Michael Myers (all versions)
TCM - Nest generation ... just ugh!!!
SAW 2
Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3
Jaws 4

Piranha 2
Zombi 3 and Jaws 5 (italian crap-movies by Bruno Mattei)

[The 5th Golden Girl]

Psycho III is pretty bad, but at least it's full of unintentional hilarity. I like Seed of Chucky, so I'm not sure what everyone's beef with it is.

The worst horror movie sequel I've ever seen is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. You couldn't pay me to sit through that again. Yikes.

[NETRA]

Rich, I noticed you mentioned Poltergeist II but not III.

I always thought II was pretty good, thought not in the same league as the original. I just think Julian Beck was creepy as the old preacher. Plus it at least had the full cast returning (except Dana, of course). Whereas Part III sucked sooooooooo bad. See all the O's in "so"? That's how much I hated it. Just curious to hear your take.

A few choices off the top of my head:

Jaws: The Revenge
Poltergeist III
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Urban Legend 2: The Final Cut
Jason X
Alligator II: The Mutation
Candyman 2 & 3
Piranha 2: The Spawning

The worst horror movie sequel I've ever seen is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Good choice! I dunno if it's the worst but it did indeed suck. Of course, I'm no fan of Parts 2 and 3 either.

[Joshg]

Jason X
Urban Legends 2: The Final Cut
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Scream 2 & 3
TCM: TNG
Zombi 3

[Rich]

Rich, really... ? "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" is worse than "A.D. '72

The Rites of Dracula was so bad that I did not even bother watching AD1972. Since I never saw it, I can not comment on it.

Rich, I noticed you mentioned Poltergeist II but not III

Basically it is the same reason as with the Dracula film. I thought P2 was just so aweful that I did not even watch P3. The funny thing is I rented the double feature dvd with both films, but the second was so bad I did not even bother with the third. So, again, since I did not see it I will not comment on it.

:cool:

[Deathscythe]

People hated The Exorcist 3? I always assumed it was the most popular Exorcist sequel.

[sCabbOy]

Amityville Dollhouse isn't Amityville III, it's Amityville VII (I think?)

[Kane Lives]

I meant Amityville III through Amityville: Dollhouse sucked. :p

[sCabbOy]

Ahh, gotcha. Makes more sense.

[Rich]

People hated The Exorcist 3? I always assumed it was the most popular Exorcist sequel.

For some reason there are many people out there who like Exorcist 3. Personally I do not. I just watched the original last night, and there is not a sequel that can ever be made that can live up to that movie.

[Darth Sinister]

I can only comment on what I have seen.

"A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge."
"Friday The 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhatten."
"Halloween III: Season Of The Witch."

Eeeeewwwwww, this goes on the list.

Some more:

Zombi 5: The Killing Birds

Yes! You too! Killing Birds f*cking sucked!!! :meh:

"A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge."

I don't get it. Why does it have so many haters? :( Besides, you know, the bird-a-splode thingy. :D

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Yes! You too! Killing Birds f*cking sucked!!! :meh:


Yeah, Zombi 5 was really bad. :X I actually like 3 and 4 alot.

[Joshg]

I thought 4 and 3 were entertaining. I actually liked 4 more, shockingly.
However entertaining they were, they still sucked. :( I try not to compare them to Zombi II, because that makes them look even worse. Cheesy good fun though.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Gotta agree with you there. Zombi 3 and 4 are very entertaining, but they really are shitty films. 4 grew on me....it's the horrible dialogue that makes it so fun and cheesy. :D The end of 3 was cheesy, with the Zombie DJ. :lol:

[Joshg]

LOL, that DJ was hilarious!

"So, I guess ______ is one of them now." she says with a straight face. Wish I remembered his name now.

[NETRA]

Children Of The Corn 3

If I recall correctly, part 3 did have one really cool death though. Wasn't this the one where a guy falls back on a running faucet? It goes through the back of his head and the bloody water comes pouring out his mouth? That was a nice image.

For some reason there are many people out there who like Exorcist 3.

I'm one who does though I think the ending (the last 10 minutes or so) sucked. But I loved the dialog and thought it had some truly creepy scenes . . . like the one where the camera remains stationary for an extended time while the nurse walks in and out of doors. Then suddenly the killer strikes with his hands outstretched in front of him. You know the scene I mean? It made me hit the ceiling!

Amityville Dollhouse isn't Amityville III, it's Amityville VII (I think?)

I believe Dollhouse was Part 8. Part 7 was "A New Generation." It sucked too. They pretty much ALL sucked in one way or another. The only one I can sit through with multiple viewings is Part 2. I dig the first hour of that one.

"Halloween III: Season Of The Witch."

For some reason I have always enjoyed this one. I dunno why. I think it's stupid but yet I like it.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Other than 2, I never cared for any of the Amityville Horror sequels.

[Rich]

For some reason I have always enjoyed this one. I dunno why. I think it's stupid but yet I like it

I liked it too. It was very inventive, intellegent, satirical, creepy, evil, and used the actual meaning of Halloween in it's story telling. It was a good film. People don't like it just because it has no Myers.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

People don't like it just because it has no Myers.

Unfortunately, you're right. That does seem to be the main factor with peoples dislike in it. :( It's a shame, because I really think it's a great film. If it wasn't for the Halloween in the title, it'd be a cult classic right now.

[The Tall Man]

Halloween III bored me. I went into it knowing it had zilch to do with the Myers saga. I gave it every opportunity... and it failed. Luckily Joe Bob Briggs was there to get me through it (yeah, I actually avoided the movie until he aired it).

Yeah Halloween 3 bored me too, and the song annoyed the hell out of me.

I know there may be some nitpicking about what category BW1 falls into, but BW2 was certainly marketed as a horror flick.

~Blake

[Rich]

That is because it was actually better then the piece of crap first one. :D

[BlakeTyner]

lol...I'm an unabashed fanboy for the first one. I see why a lot of people don't like it (and, truth be told, I don't know if I like the movie on its own merits or because it came out during such a great time in my life.)

~Blake

[hack slash]

I thought BW2 was MUCH better than BW1

agree with you there espically the leperechaun films

40 posts in and no hate for Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2?

The original "Blair Witch" surprised me. I used to go to a tiny art house theater whenever a horror movie played there. When they ran "Blair Witch" I'd never even heard of it (this was before it got it's wide distribution) and had no idea what to expect. I didn't know anything about its concept. So it was really fun for me.

As for Part 2, I enjoyed it more in my second viewing on DVD. After learning the secret to the movie, going back and watching it again was a truly creepy experience.

Jaws 3

This is one of my guilty pleasures. I like it in the same way I like B movies such as Revenge of the Creature.

[Scarecrow]

Generally is the films named or part of a franchise, even at its worst, it's still better than the ammounts of dreck you get DTV. Still, as sequels go, its' gotta be the B-franchives.

Lepachaun 4: In Space was just awful. Not so bad its good like In the Hood, but just total, vomit-inducing filth.

[Matt326]

Jason X,A New Beginning,Halloween 5,Halloween: Resurrection,JAWS: The Revenge

[Natman]

I'm usually frighteningly tolerant of sequels, but even I can sometimes draw the line:

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (I've tried, repeatedly, but i just can't...)
Wishmaster 3 and 4 (2 almost makes it too)
Hellraiser: Bloodline
Howling VII: New Moon Rising
Candyman 3: Day of the Dead
umm.... Witchcraft II-13
Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning
Poltergeist II and III
Exorcist II: The Heretic (I love 3, tho)
Alien vs Predator
CHUD II: Bud the CHUD (ya, i love it.... but wow..)
Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys (a harsh blow, Mr. Feldman)
and Decoys 2: The Second Seduction.

But seriously, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation takes the cake.

Well, that's all I can think of now, but I know there are others.
