Summary
There's ALWAYS more to the story, especially in horror. This is the genre that popularized sequels like no other - so which are the best? There's really one answer here and that's James Cameron's Aliens. But since that title has been drafted too many times it's off the board and we had to get creative! Luckily, there are still plenty of #2's that equal and even best the original. Combatants Griffey, Dandino, Heath and Sophia are back for battle. Who drafted the ultimate list of direct sequels? Does it include Scream 2 - the meta commentary on horror sequels? How about another Cameron classic Terminator 2? There's no-brainers like Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser 2 and Final Destination 2. Or perhaps you're into something more adventurous like the body-horror terror that is The Santa Clause 2. Whichever sequels you like best, we've got so many you should listen to this episode twice!
