12 Horror Movies That Deserved Sequels

Looking back, it's surprising to note that this 2004 comedy-horror wasn't quite so big a hit as we might think, with a worldwide box office takings of only $30 million. Even so, it alerted the world to the genius of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and proved one of the most endearing, rewatchable films of its kind in decades.

There isn't really any mystery as to why Shaun of the Dead never got a sequel: all concerned have made it quite clear that they wanted to leave it as a standalone film. Fair enough, as it clearly tells a fully rounded story; but still, it might've been nice to see a bit more of core trio Shaun, Liz and Ed, particularly with the new dynamic of Ed being a zombie.

While Pegg has been widely quoted as having pitched From Dusk Till Shaun - a follow-up in which they battle vampires - it's pretty obvious that this was never anything more than a light-hearted attempt to see which other film titles could substitute 'Dawn' for 'Shaun.'

Hmm... how about Red Shaun? Shaun and Ed lead the resistance when the Commies invade London? Or maybe they could go post-apocalyptic warrior with Steel Shaun? The possibilities are endless.
