10 of the greatest horror movie sequels of all-time
Can 'Paranormal Activity 4' or 'Silent Hill 2' measure up to these picks?
It's one thing to make a successful horror movie, but it's an exceptionally rarer achievement to make a sequel that is as scarily effective as the original. With "Paranormal Activity 4" and "Silent Hill 2" soon hitting theaters, we thought it was a good idea to come up with ten of our favorite freaky follow-ups that equal -- or even surpass -- the originals, from slashers and psychos to aliens and zombies.
Do you agree or disagree with our choices? What did we miss? Sound off in the comments section.

An unwatchable shakey-cam fest.
Monty Jack Like the first DIDN'T have shakey-cam?
September 30, 2012 at 3:39PM ESTDave I The first didn't have those stupid kids. Or the worst scientific protocol until Prometheus came along.

September 30, 2012 at 9:47AM EST Reply to CommentUm...lists of misses here. Gremlins 2 is not horror in my opinion. I think you could've picked something besides 28 weeks. Hostel 2 is the real black sheep of this list, come on now the move was a rehash of the first that tried to up the gore and I think it wasn't that good. I think horror is the toughest to pick in terms of sequels but I'm going with Exorcist 3, very underrated and not watched because of the reputation of 2.
ceggertsen All a matter of opinion of course...I'm personally not a fan of "The Exorcist III," though I know it has its admirers.
September 30, 2012 at 11:31PM ESTKluetus The whole Hostel series is just horrible. I do not get the appeal of those 2 movies.
October 1, 2012 at 3:24PM ESTjbranstetter80 Oh boo. 28 weeks later is good. Devil's Rejects and Dawn of the dead are great remakes.
October 1, 2012 at 7:17PM ESTWhat up Chris
Bryan Stevenson How is devils rejects a remake?
October 3, 2012 at 6:31PM ESTceggertsen I think he meant "sequels"...probably a typo.
