Sequels That Are Better Than Their Predecessor

Horror Quote Of The Moment

Welcome to Under The Morgue.

We have sections for each decade of film, from the 1910s onward, as well as sections for 10+ major franchises, close to 50 'smaller' franchises (containing five entries or less), creative writing, independent filmmaking, photography, music, Non-Horror films and TV shows, forum games, and boredom busters, and to top it all off there's an IM shoutbox at the bottom of the page for random chat. From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

I would go as far as it meets the first, but doesn't surpass it. I would say: Friday the 13th Pt. IV (will think of more later, gotta run!)

I mean, it's my favorite, but the two are more on the same level than either one really surpassing the other one. They truly compliment one another. The same could be said of Alien and Aliens, as well as House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Although, for House and Rejects, Rejects is Zombie's better film as a writer and director.
