10 Best Horror Movie Sequels
2. Aliens
Serving as the follow up to Ridley Scott's science fiction scare-fest Alien, Aliens is a rare breed of sequel that dramatically changes the formula of the first film to create something entirely new, but equally brilliant. Transforming one skulking xenomorph into an army of terrifying aliens, the film is the answer to the question that nobody knew they needed: what happens if you stick a bunch of flamethrowing marines onto a random planet and make them fight crazy strong space monsters?
With Ripley turned into a power-loading motherf*cker-upper, Jones the cat kept safe and well, and a group of classic action-hero military badasses ready to fight their way through the hoard - it's the perfect combination of horror nasties and classically brilliant filmmaking,
