If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away. Thank God no one in the 'Evil Dead' family thinks that way.

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.

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

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

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

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.

A lot of people ask for sequels, but what they really want is just to know the characters are happy and safe.

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.

Sequels are desperate.

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