darren we better turn around why because
i've seen enough horror movies to know
any weirdo wearing a mask is never
friendly
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
horror movie sequels that redeemed the
franchise
this time you're going to lose my
friends call me
chucky oh my god i love it i've seen it
five times and it still gets me every
time for this list we'll be looking at
sequels that brought back
a horror movie franchise we're not so
much looking at the best horror sequels
as sequels that got their respective
franchise
back on track let us know in the
comments what horror sequel you think we
should have included on the list
number 10 ouija origin of evil
let's begin
when ouija came out in 2014 nobody was
impressed by the movie
the consensus being that it was another
forgettable horror flick about a
supernatural force offing teenagers
was there something i could have done
this isn't surprising given how hard it
is to take a horror movie about a ouija
board
seriously but then a prequel came out in
2016 called ouija
origin of evil and critics and audiences
agreed it was much better than its
predecessor something rare with movies
in general
what is all the yelling look what she
did
did you do this no she's lying
this was in large part thanks to
director mike flanagan whose previous
work included oculus
and hush number nine curse of chucky
my friends call me chucky
you're dead no
you are the child's play movies made
chucky the quintessential evil doll
however bride of chucky and seed of
chucky took chucky in a campy direction
focusing more on gags than on horror
what
no we you didn't we didn't
oh sweet face
come to mommy
that's not to say you can't have humor
in a chucky movie but there's obviously
such a thing as too much
the direct to video sequel curse of
chucky is a return to form
bringing chucky back to being a menacing
icon rather than the joke that earlier
sequels made him
speaking of getting back to basics alex
vincent who played little andy in the
first two child's play movies makes a
brief appearance in a post-credits scene
ensuring that fans of the series stay
tuned for future installments
play with this andy
number eight saw six mr easton
what is this
it's a game the gold standard of torture
movies the saw franchise dominated the
horror genre in the mid-2000s with its
gruesome traps and graphic kills
and that's my way i brought proof
but with a new film coming out every
year the series started to get old
quickly
and the traps didn't seem as novel going
four or five movies in
but instep saw six which was a scathing
critique of the american health
insurance
industry with one of the main stories
about a health insurance executive that
was put through one of jigsaw's cruel
tests
you must let go of one to save the life
of the other
as you can see the choice is not so
clear when you are face to face with the
people whose blood will
stain your hands saw six is often
considered the best film since saw two
and it proved that the franchise wasn't
completely out of ideas
at least not yet number seven final
destination five
the fun part of the final destination
movies was watching the different ways
that
death would claim its victims with
intricate rube goldberg like steps
i just i don't want to miss anything but
similar to the song movies the final
destination series had trouble coming up
with ways to keep this premise fresh
however final destination 5 was able to
come up with memorable deaths such as
the gymnastic scene and the eye surgery
scene
plus the twist at the end was a nice way
of bringing the series back to where it
started
what's all that about i have no idea
number six
annabelle creation
the cursed doll made a spooky first
impression in the conjuring which made
things look promising when she got her
own film in 2014.
unfortunately that film wasn't well
received with critics or audiences
there has to be another way there is
i can make it right however annabelle
creation came out three years later and
was the type of movie we were expecting
a prequel to the original film annabelle
creation gives a tragic backstory to the
doll and explains with greater depth how
it came to be cursed
we said yes and that's when it became
stronger
actress lulu wilson was in both
annabelle creation and the ouija prequel
which shows that she was someone to cast
if you wanted to make a prequel that was
an improvement over the original
number 5 friday the 13th part 6
jason lives darren we better turn around
why because i've seen enough horror
movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask
is never friendly
friday the 13th is one franchise that
isn't afraid to go in different
directions but
part 5 might have gone too far with
giving us a different killer to continue
the series other than jason voorhees
[Music]
luckily part six remedies this mistake
by bringing back
jason wasting no time by resurrecting
him in the opening scene
jason lives does have humor that sends
up the franchise with a lighthearted
touch
but thankfully the franchise did not
continue in this direction beating a
dead horse
like nightmare on elm street did with
freddy but we'll get to that later
number four the exorcist three
and her night
this time you're going to lose
the original exorcist is one of the
scariest films of all time
and exorcist 2 is anything but please
bring her back
[Music]
luckily almost 13 years after the
disappointing follow-up
the exorcist 3 came to save the day and
restore the good name of the franchise
based on the novel legion by exorcist
author william peter blatty
exorcist 3 focuses on lieutenant
kinderman a character from the original
film
investigating murders committed by the
gemini killer
the film has got one of the most
memorable jump scares in horror and
great performances by george c
scott and brad dorf and on and on
he is inside with us
he will never get away number 3
scream 4 released 11 years after the
original trilogy had ended
scream 4 was a commentary on horror
movies that had come out
since scream 3. oh my god i love it i've
seen it five
times and it still gets me every time
you're kidding
i don't get it it was also a commentary
on horror reboots acting as some sort of
cross between a sequel and a reboot
one of the strengths of the sequel was
fun characters such as kirby played by
hayden panettiere and jill played by
emma roberts
i need fans don't you get it
this has never been about killing you
it's about becoming you we didn't know
we needed the film
but it was an improvement over scream
three and a nice chance to see sydney
dewey and gail
again dewey hey
listen girl you made it number two
halloween have you ever really liked a
girl and you just couldn't have her
i'm sorry man i'll just i'll peace out
your hair
for years the halloween franchise had
been a horrific
mess with sequels that kept sinking to
new lows whether it was paul rudd
playing tommy doyle in halloween six
or busta rhymes roundhouse kicking
michael myers in resurrection
or those rob zombie movies then
halloween 2018 came along and all it had
to do was pretend that all the sequels
following the original halloween never
happened
directed by pineapple express filmmaker
david gordon green and co-written by
green with frequent collaborator danny
mcbride
the movie paid off giving the franchise
a terrifying fresh start
horror fans are eagerly anticipating
upcoming sequels halloween
kills and halloween ends probably the
first time in a long time halloween fans
are optimistic about the series future

number one wes craven's new nightmare
perhaps no horror movie character was
hurt by sequels more than freddy krueger
while dream warriors was a step up from
freddy's revenge he was cracking jokes
every chance he got by dream child and
freddie's dead
and no one could take him seriously
anymore i'll get you my pretty
and your little soul
that's a shame for such a sinister
figure that all changed when wes craven
came back to the nightmare on elm street
franchise to direct a movie where freddy
was the menacing figure craven
originally intended him to be
ever played in the cat new nightmare
gave freddy the respect he deserves as a
horror icon
