What are some sequels that managed to beat the very first film that started their series? |

A few sequels I find better, IMO: Phantasm II Aliens Predator 2 Friday The 13th Parts 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and New Nightmare Saw II Evil Dead II and Army Of Darkness Puppet Master 2, 3 and 4 Maniac Cop 2 and 3 Hatchet II Poltergeist II: The Other Side Return Of The Living Dead Part II ChromeSkull: Laid To Rest 2 The Devil's Rejects The Collection A few of my picks will be controversial I'm sure, like Predator 2, ROTLD2 and Poltergeist II. Not to disrespect the originals as I love those too, just found the second ones more enjoyable. Edited by DemoGhostface, Jan 4 2014, 07:31 AM.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 - my personal favorite part in the series Final Destination 2 Aliens - not better but on the same level House 2 and 4 - I think parts 1, 2 and 4 are equally awesome Jeepers Creepers 2 Sleepaway Camp 2 & 3 Hatchet 3 Saw 2 |

Several of mine: Friday the 13th Parts 4, 7 and Jason X. Carnosaur 2 Phantasm 2 Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky Halloween 4 and 6 Underworld: Evolution Paranormal Activity 2 (damning with faint praise, but it's still better) I'll stop here for now, I'll be here all day doing this. |

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but I thought ABC's of Death 2 was a big improvement over the original. |

^ Agreed. I only really disliked a couple segments. The first had quite a few bad ones. The second never reached the highs of the first but it never reached the lows either. Hayride 2 Bunnyman Massacre |

^ Agreed, most definitely. There were about 3 good ones and 23 duds in the first one, whereas it was the other way around in the second one. GhostWatcher II (Maybe) The Last Exorcism Part II. It's better in SOME ways. Sleepaway Camp 2 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid Rob Zombie's Halloween II Halloween II Exorcist III Wrong Turn 2: Dead End When a Stranger Calls Back |

Purge: Anarchy - as much as I loved the first, showing a larger perspective of the event work better. Saw II - not necessarily better because the end twist of the first was so shocking, but definitely on a par. Insidious Chapter 2 - I found the Bride in Black villain more complex, and more interesting, than the Red-Faced Demon. Edited by favabeans, Dec 27 2015, 02:27 PM.

I think Saw II & Saw III are better than the first Saw Other sequels that surpass their predecessor(s): Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones Rob Zombie's H2 (when you're comparing it to his remake only and not the rest of the series) Friday the 13th Part 2 & Part 6 Bride of Frankenstein |

Agreed on the first two. The Purge: Anarchy definitely benefited from the increased scope, allowing it to fully utilize the possibilities of its premise rather than squander them on a rote home invasion flick. And I actually preferred the twist in Saw II to that of the first. With Insidious Chapter 2, though, I thought the Bride in Black's backstory to be fairly cliched. And I'll second everyone who recommended The Devil's Rejects. I found it to be a superior film to House of 1,000 Corpses in pretty much every way. |
