Similarly, 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare turned the Nightmare on Elm Street series toward itself with a meta-referential twist that blurred the line between fiction and reality. Wes Craven’s grand return to the franchise re-imagined the iconic Freddy Krueger as a vicious evil seeping into the real world, smartly subverting the slasher tropes that had defined the series up until then.

Elsewhere, Sam Raimi’s 1987 sequel Evil Dead II rebooted his cult cabin-in-the-woods classic as a chaotic blend of supernatural horror and slapstick comedy. Keeping the gruesome spirit of the original while infusing it with cartoonish energy and absurdity, Raimi and star Bruce Campbell transformed the follow-up into something totally new, opening the series to a world of possibility.

Ridley Scott’s Alien is an unparalleled sci-fi horror masterpiece, so a good sequel was a very tall order. How could a follow-up possibly ever compare to the terrifying 1979 film? By switching up the genre, it turns out. James Cameron’s 1986 movie Aliens changes out the slow-burn, dread-inducing isolated terror of its somber predecessor for high-octane action, essentially trading chilling for thrilling. Both films are beloved in the franchise, with some fans preferring the original’s quiet, eerie, cosmic tone and others leaning into the second installment’s loud, guns-a-blazin’ energy — there’s space Marines, and they’ve got really big guns!—but it’s no doubt the latter opened a whole new universe of potential for the franchise.

From silly, vengeful shark tales to boring, bland supernatural stories we’ve seen a million times before, these are the worst horror movie sequels that nearly ruined otherwise great horror franchises.

A masterclass in subtle frights and indie filmmaking, 1999’s The Blair Witch Project is the cultural juggernaut that sparked the found footage subgenre’s subsequent domination of horror. Its cheesy 2000 sequel, Book of Shadows … not so much. In fact, the film isn’t even found footage, deviating from the format that made The Blair Witch Project so immersive and chilling to the point that it barely relates to the original film’s atmosphere and central mystery, coming off instead like a cheap maybe-supernatural slasher cash grab.
