10 Horror Movie Sequels With ONE Great Scene

10. The Opening Credits - Child's Play 3

Child's Play 3 was bad enough that it nearly buried the killer doll franchise for good, being panned by critics and grossing barely half of what the previous film did.

Franchise creator and the movie's writer Don Mancini even later admitted that he ran out of ideas while penning the film, and like most fans and critics, it's his least-favourite entry in the entire series.

Though Brad Dourif's spirited performance as Chucky keeps things watchable, this is pretty much a law-of-diminished-returns sequel that rehashes the same core idea with a desperate new setting - a military academy.

This is what happens when you rush a sequel out less than 10 months after the previous one hit cinemas.

But Child's Play 3 at least begins promisingly enough with an all-timer opening titles sequence, which shows Chucky's mutilated body being recovered and its blood being spilled into the vat used to create the Good Guy dolls.

We're then shown offputting close-ups of a doll being formed, mixed with Chucky's blood, before the doll comes to life and screams, "Noooo!"

It's more visually imaginative and interesting than anything else in the movie, by far.
