best 'interquels' (?)

[zombie no.one]

a new word I learnt today. Interquel. it sounds a bit silly.

it means a sequel which is set in between 2 previous sequels (or between the original and the first sequel.)

found this out through reading JEEPERS CREEPERS 3's wiki page... apparently that one is set in between parts 1 and 2.

(yes I'm aware the director of those movies is allegedly a piece of crud, take that as read, not relevant to this thread)

can't think of any other examples... seems to be more of a graphic novel / video game thing from what I'm reading

any other movies fit the 'Interquel' definition?

Saw X

Came out in 2023. Technically the 10th film in the series, it actually takes place between Saw 1 and Saw 2. Like, it's after the events of 1, but prior to 2. Something like that.

And, Saw 2 & 3...technically both sequels in the franchise, but I believe both are happening concurrently at the same time, but they're separate films in the series. If that makes sense.

HOWLING 4 THE ORIGINAL NIGHTMARE is cheesy but not too bad. It's also more faithful to the original book so there's that.
