20 Awesome Horror Movies That Never Got Sequels

20. Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead is undeniably one of the greatest zombie films of the last 25 years, if not ever, and launched the careers of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost as a result.

It also became enough of a surprise hit that Wright, Pegg, and Frost did genuinely consider producing a sequel, hilariously titled From Dusk Till Shaun.

There certainly would've been a massive audience for it, but ultimately the trio decided they weren't keen to retread the same creative ground, preferring instead to develop their disparate Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy of films, with acclaimed follow-ups Hot Fuzz and The World's End.

While it would've been great to be reunited with the surviving characters once more, you also can't really blame Wright and co. for wanting to do something fresh and different instead, especially as the original film is such an insanely hard act to follow.

Shaun of the Dead is a stellar example of a masterful one-and-done movie that said everything it needed to the first time around.
