10 Most Anticipated Horror Movie Sequels Coming In 2022 (And Beyond)

10. Lights Out 2

David F. Sandberg's Lights Out was one of the most effective original horror movies in years when it dropped in 2016. Sure, it wasn't quite as tight as the short it was a based on (in fairness that was like five minutes long), but its innovative tale of a monster named Diana who only appears in the shadows still delivered in the scares department.

It resonated with audiences too, turning enough of a profit that a sequel, with the original director attached, was quickly announced. Sadly, that was five years ago and there's been no update on it since.

The main roadblock seems to be that Sandberg, quite rightly so, became one of Hollywood's most in-demand directors. After helming other impressive franchise horrors like Annabelle: Creation, the filmmaker moved into the realm of superheroes with the well-received Shazam.

Since then he's been busy on the superhero's sequel, but with production almost complete, we might finally see movement on this long-gestating follow up across the next year.
