It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.

I don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?

I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.

When there's a great horror movie, people are like, 'Horror's back!' And when there's a series of not so good ones, 'Horror's dead.' I think it's all about the quality. When there are one or two good horror movies in a row, people come out interested again.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

'Evil Dead 1' was never supposed to have a sequel.

I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.

Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

In 'Scream 2', they have this discussion about how sequels always suck.
