Last post by M.10rda - Today at 05:41:51 AMIf by "universe" we mean simply "genre", then all of these are fine.
ZNO, you are correct, GATES OF HELL does seem related to THE BEYOND and the other films, though a little more uncertainly. (I only watched it once and it made little sense to me.) In spite of it being seen as part of the trilogy, HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY has no, no relationship to THE BEYOND or GATES OF HELL - it's about an undead mutant mad scientist hiding in a basement. There is communication between the worlds of the living and the dead (ghosts) and a character crosses over at the end, but there's no hidden portal to aitch-ee-double-hockey sticks.
SUSPIRIA, INFERNO, and MOTHER OF TEARS are an Official trilogy - nominally about a coven of immortal witches (or something). That concept introduced in SUSPIRIA (which has no portal to the underworld) is referred to sort of indirectly in INFERNO (which has a portal to the underworld but no witches, really - I mean I dunno exactly what's going on in INFERNO, it is bloody wicked cool, though). I cringe to admit I never watched MOTHER OF TEARS, so I'll trust you on that.

ah, that one did cross my mind... then I decided I was probably confusing it with THE INITIATION OF SARAH
jogging my memory. I've seen it. not one of the better horrors of that era

Brother Zap, welcome.
I'm doing OK thanks, still trying to cope with my mentor and friends passing and my book is in final edit.
Doing OK.

Last post by zombie no.one - July 26, 2026, 08:21:25 PMQuote from: M.10rda on July 26, 2026, 06:04:42 PMROBOCOP 2
totally. how to drop the ball. 3 is even worse, like a kids movie.
Quote from: FatFreddysCat on July 26, 2026, 06:06:43 PMThe JAWS sequels are the textbook example of the Law of Diminishing Returns.
Jaws 2 was passible, in a cheap B-Movie sort of way.
Jaws 3-D was terrible.
Jaws: The Revenge was an abomination.
The HALLOWEEN series is another example. I'll go as far as "4" in that franchise (and I'll admit that 1998's "H20" has its charms), but everything that came after has been either "meh" or "suck."
I have a lot of time for JAWS 2.
and hot take but I actually prefer HALLOWEEN 2 to the original, as a straight watch. obviously the original was more erm original.
EXCORCIST 2 gets dumped on by everyone but I prefer it to the first one. the first one is a clunky snoozefest, the 2nd is a mad trip albeit flawed
OMEN 2 is not a total failure but just seems kind of arbitrary and 'well I guess it has to go like this now because he's growing up, yeah?', to me... demonic baby scary, demonic schoolboy not so much.
