The 20 Worst Movie Sequels Ever Made
For the sake of not sounding like a broken record, All of these films failed to capture the spark that lit the fire in audiences when the first films were released. They’re all dull, lifeless, and only succeeded in draining the life out of their respective franchises.
P.S. 3 movies on this list have the exact same end credits scene setting up their characters to take the fight to their Alien rivals.

ROTTEN TOMATOES: 4% CRITIC RATING | 16% AUDIENCE RATING

ROTTEN TOMATOES: 12% CRITIC RATING | 25% AUDIENCE RATING
Busta Rhymes fights Michael Myers and has some of the “best” quotes of the franchise.
Here are some of my favorites.
“Hey, Mikey! Happy Fuckin' Halloween!”
“Michael Myers is a killer shark. In baggy ass overalls who gets his kicks from killing everyone and everything he comes across.”
“Trick or treat, motherfucker!”
“Looking a little crispy over there, Mikey. Like some chicken-fried motherfucker. Well, may he never, ever rest in peace.”
