#horror sequel

Right now, I can only think of two, The Boy and The Black Phone, but my point still stands the sequels are right there, but they always go too damn far.

And yes, technically, TBP is a supernatural horror, with Gwen being psychic and the spirits. However, the Grabber is not. He's just a man. A sick perverted man. Making him an entity does nothing. Putting him on iceskates, however, is hilarious.

Here's an idea, Finn is trying to move on from the trauma, but Gwen is still having visions and tells him about another kid. He's checking out and becoming a burnout. Realizing that this is happening to another child and he's the one who has to help him is what helps him bounce back.

It could be a Grabber copycat or perverts move in circles, make it an accomplice.

There is no need to turn the Grabber into an evil spirit. An evil spirit is not scarier than a p***phile.

Just like a grown ass man living in the walls of your home is 100 times scarier than a possessed doll.

The original script was much more brutal with explicit gore sequences. The producers objected to many of the scenes (one of which had a nude man being split down the middle while hung upside down) and demanded extensive changes to the script to reduce gore and violence. Further cuts had to be made to avoid an X-rating after the film was finished.
