The 13 Horror Sequels That Flipped the Script [Halloweenies Podcast]
With Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn behind them and Army of Darkness just around the corner, the Halloweenies find themselves in a pretty creative sweet spot. They’re standing on a bridge between two of the most creative and surprising sequels in the horror genre. So, they thought: Wait a second, why not talk about more movies like this?
And so they came up with not five, not 10, but 13 horror movie sequels that completely flipped the script. Below, you can join co-hosts Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Justin Gerber as they stumble into their own whirling temporal vortex to travel through to time and revisit a baker’s dozen of horror movie sequels just brimming with ingenuity.
