10 Horror Sequels That Were Just Confirmed

Zach Cregger's Weapons is one of the biggest horror hits of the year so far, and given the wide critical and audience acclaim, it was of course just a matter of time before discussions of a follow-up arose.

In fact, mere days after the film's release, Cregger was asked about Weapons 2 and confirmed that he has an idea for a new film set within the same universe - perhaps more of a spiritual successor than a direct sequel featuring the same characters.

A follow-up report also states that Cregger is mulling over a second Weapons movie which is actually a prequel focused on the origins of the unforgettable antagonist Aunt Gladys (Amy Madigan).

Cregger has plenty on his plate right now, not least a soon-to-shoot adaptation of the hit video game Resident Evil, and so by his own admission he probably won't get around to making another Weapons movie for a good while.

Given the reception to the first film, though, there's sure to be many fans waiting with bated breath.
