10 Best Horror Movie Sequels

10. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch

Originally, the Halloween films were supposed to be an anthology format of scary films, encapsulating the Michael Myers story within Halloween one and two, and moving on to a new format from number three onwards. Season of the Witch is the result of John Carpenter's experimentation, and it's one that paid off - even if it isn't remembered quite as widely as our very own Haddonfield stabber.

Featuring a madman attempting to recreate an ancient Halloween ritual with silver shamrock masks, a doctor and his patient's daughter team up to try and stop him before he invokes deadly witchcraft that will kill millions of children. It's a daring, bold move from a director who already has something good set up with two films worth of lore to take the franchise somewhere completely new; and it definitely works as a fun little horror movie.

It's just a shame it was taken off him and turned into a run of eight lacklustre Michael Myers stories instead.
