10 Horror Movie Sequels That DITCHED The Horror
1. The Invisible Woman (1940)
You have to hand it to Universal with their original run of The Invisible Man movies - they didn't stick around in any one genre for too long.
While both 1933's The Invisible Man and its 1940 sequel The Invisible Man Returns were sci-fi horror films, the third film in the series, The Invisible Woman - also released in 1940 - took a sharp left-turn into the screwball comedy genre.
The threequel opts for an altogether more light-hearted look at the applications of invisibility, with protagonist Kitty Carroll (Virginia Bruce) using her newfound powers to, for example, get revenge on her a**hole former boss.
The franchise didn't let up here, either - the fourth movie, Invisible Agent, ventured into spy/action territory, before The Invisible Man's Revenge pinged back to sci-fi horror, and finally Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man was a pure sci-fi comedy.
Imagine a modern take on a Universal monster franchise being this adventurous from installment to installment.
