10 Horror Sequels EVERYONE Wants To See

10. Happy Death Day to Us

Happy Death Day is one of the big breakout horror hits of the last decade, a genuinely original (albeit Groundhog Day-inspired) slasher flick that grossed $125.5 million globally on a mere $4.8 million budget.

A sequel was unsurprisingly fast-tracked into production, then, but Happy Death Day 2U barely grossed half of what its predecessor did on almost double the budget, perhaps in part due to the sequel's kooky transition into sci-fi horror-comedy territory.

Even though the sequel still made a hefty profit relative to its budget, its underperformance prompted producer Jason Blum to deem a third film unlikely, even though filmmaker Christopher Landon had the outline for a threequel already set.

Blum was more optimistic about a third film by 2020, before Landon revealed that the sequel, Happy Death Day to Us, was in active development.

Almost five years later, though, the needle hasn't moved much. Landon formally pitched the film in early 2023, and without any forward momentum since, it seems improbable it will now happen.

While Blumhouse might feel that the window for another movie has passed - what with Happy Death Day 2U soon turning five years old - there are many horror fans who would love to see Jessica Rothe given another opportunity to goof around in Landon's bonkers sandbox.
