Also, there were two sequels to Sometimes They Come Back, which is weird cause the first (which I haven't seen) is based on a SHORT story by Steven King (how you could stretch a short short to three movies is beyond me.)

Course, I'm told the third film was actually supposed to be a different movie entirely, but they just slapped a couple of STCB elements into and gave it a re-title to capitalize on the series "success".

Oh, man.. makes me head hurt.

I'm suddenly reminded of this article I read years ago in Mad Magazine that gave synopsis to possible Titanic sequels.  It was meant as a ridiculous joke, but I'm starting to wonder how far off from reality that could be...

In a way, you could say Raise the Titanic was a sequel. :lookingup:

There is technically an unofficial sequel to Riki-Oh, in which the characters' names are changed, but it's quite obviously following on from the manga in which Riki-Oh leaves the prison, it even stars the same main actor.

It's very difficult to find, but it's a spectacularly bad film, looking like it was filmed on a digital family camera and containing no gore.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) has four more sequels.

The Grudge (2004), itself a remake of Ju-On: The Grudge spawned two sequels The Grudge 2 and The Grudge 3

With Ju-on (2000), there's Ju-on 2 (2000), Ju-on: the Grudge (2003), Ju-on: The Grudge 2 (2003)

Like the Grudge, The Ring series featured remakes of Japanese Ringu films:

The Ring J-Horror Films

Ring: Kanzenban (1995)
Ring (1998)
Ring 2 (1999)
Ring 0: Birthday (2000)
Rasen (1998)


The Ring TV Dramas

Ring: The Final Chapter (1999)
Rasen (1999)


The Ring Series of Horror Films

The Ring (2002)
The Ring Two (2005)


The Ring Three (2011) is planned too.

I recently found out that there is a sequel to "Lawnmower Man".

The movie The Neverending Story is based on the first half of the novel.  The second movie has the idea of the second half (Bastion losing his memories with every wish me makes), but bases that totally into the events that are described in a couple paragraphs (the evil queen and her army attacking the Child-Like Emporess) and adds the whole part about the evil queen stealing Bastion's memories.

And entire movie can be made from only a couple paragraphs.

I've come to this website for a long time but now I finally signed up!

There are so many crazy sequels that people don't know about, a lot of them are cool and a lot of them really suck. It depends on how much effort is actually put into the film; is it just a cheap garbage movie made to bank in on the 'brand name,' like with Wishmaster 3 or is it something that the studio and director actually made some effort with, as in Wishmaster 4.

In my opinion, Wishmaster 3 was pure garbage but Wishmaster 4 was actually interesting; it really had nothing much to do with Wishmasters 1 and 2 but was a good cheap movie in it's own way.

There's a sixth Leprechaun movie called "Leprechaun: Back 2 da hood"

Cruel Intentions 3
From Dusk Till Dawn 3
Anaconda 3 (with Hassle the Hoff!)
Devil in the Flesh 2
Freeway 2
The Mangler 2

Lots of others could make the list

Yep, it's called Where The Wild Things Are:  10 sentences; 37 pages; 338 words = a 101 minute movie.

Cool I expect less to no talk and mostly monsters playing tag with stupid kids :)

I saw that. It was painful. Don't watch it!

It was many many years after the fact hat I found out there was a French Connection 2.

With Gene Hackman.

Directed by John Frankenheimer.

It just blew my mind.

...and it wasn't all that good, either.

And then there's the Witchcraft series.  I think they're up to about part 40 or so now.
