Despite a handful of notable exceptions, horror sequels aren’t exactly known for being the greatest movies in the world. Franchises typically overstay their welcome for far too long, resulting in never-ending cash grab sequels that are endlessly inferior to the films that spawned them. For every exceptional sequel like Dream Warriors or Final Chapter, there …
September is upon us, summer is slowly drifting away for another year and the countdown clock that silently ticks away at the top of this very page now tells me it is only 58 days until October 31st 2014.
