If you look outside of the horror genre, you'll find several films that are sequels that are just as good if not better then the originals:

"For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" are better then the original "Fist ful Of Dollars"

"Godfather II" is considered better then "The Godfather"

"Empire Strikes Back" over "Star Wars"

"Spider-Man 2" is at least as good as -if not better then-"Spider-Man"

"Star TrekII: The Wrath Of Khan" is far better then "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"

and if you want to go waaaay back to the "30's "Tarzan Finds A Mate"is far better the the original "Tarzan, The Ape Man"



Sequels have always been a bit tricky, studios don't want to upset fans by straying too far from the original concept, but at the same time fans don't want a carbon copy either
