Which Sequel to the big 4 did you hate the most?

[Tony]

As far as the "Big 4" goes (Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th) which one has the worst sequels as well as the single worst individual sequel, and what are they? I picked Halloween for the worst sequels all because H20 and H8 screwed up the series and you can't forget Halloween III being thrown in there to fuck it all up. I picked Halloween 8 as the worst overall sequel. Yep. I dislike it even over Halloween III. Had Halloween III not been carrying the Halloween title it may not have been that bad. . Yes. I hate Halloween 8..even over TCM The next Gen which I happen to like!! Yes it's true. I like TCM: The Next Generation.

I have to agree, Halloween: Resurrection is the worst individual sequel. Simply for the fact that they let Busta Rhymes kung-fu fight Michael Myers. They just didn't make Myers scary in that movie. It sucked on a major level.

As far as overall series goes, I hate the Nightmare sequels (especially Part 2). None of those films compare to the original. I'm just not into wisecracking boogeymen.

I would have to say Nightmare/and Halloween because I like all the other choices.. But the rest all sucked.. :D

TCM: The Next Generation for sure. H20 and Ressurection were pretty dismal too.

NO :mad:

I was just finding interesting threads that could be discussed further, because this place has been dead.

I haven't been paying attention to my post count actually... it's not something I really give a shit about.

never paid any attention myself .. pretty important to some folks though - god knows why.



I found in recent years than i'm not a big sequel guy.
when i was young it seemed cool to see the next installment of whatever - but the older i got they just became pathetic cash grabs.

most movies - unless designed from the very onset to be a series that tells a story - are told in completion in the 1st film. that was the idea someone had - there was nothing left to tel at the end of it.

which is why the 1st films feel like real films and the rest seem like shit.

There are always exceptions - but this is mostly the rule for me.


so which is the worst in the 'big 4' ... anything over 'part 3' in any of them.

I liked H20. The film was pretty dull and I thought they could have worked on the continuity a lot better, but I think it gave a pretty conclusive end to the series. Shame they had to destroy that in Halloween: Ressurection.

But when you think about it, most of them flowed into each other;

Halloween 1 to 2
Halloween Return to Revenge to Curse.

They may not have been good films sometimes but I'd say some of them were watchable.

And Halloween 3 is always good for a laugh!

I'd say TCM had the best overall sequel line and Jason X was the worst Friday the 13th film. But at least they tried something different. Shame it was just too different.

I don't know but there's some thing fundementally wrong with me cos i kinda enjoyed TCM - granted it was a while back and i was hopped up on 40's of Olde Englishe..

Doesn't Matthew McConaughey slap the shit outta Renee Zellweger in it....

I need to watch it again but i do have fond memories of it..

I like Sequels. I like movies that never die I guess.
