"Sequels suck." At least that's what Scream 2 said, but then again Scream 2 isn't good enough to make this list. This week marks the release of H2, the sequel to Rob Zombie's abysmal attempt to remake/re-imagine/justify ruining Halloween, and while he's got a pretty good track record with sequels (The Devil's Rejects just barely squeaked into the Top Thirteen) we thought we'd take the time to remind audiences that sequels can be classics too. Whether these films were better than the original (some were), re-invented the franchise (some did) or are simply entertaining films in their own right (they all are), here are a few cinematic delicacies to cleanse your palette, in case H2 leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Most of the sequels on this list try to differentiate themselves from their original films, but not Final Destination 2. The original Final Destination took a clever concept - a group of people narrowly escape certain death, only for Death itself to target them one by one - and crafted a rare kind of slasher based entirely around supernatural suspense set pieces, and Final Destination 2 simply upped the ante in every possible way. From the brilliantly devised opening freeway cataclysm to the worst trip to the dentist's office ever, first time director David Ellis (who would go on to direct the under-rated Snakes on a Plane and Cellular) filled Final Destination 2 with more shocks and awe than any repetitive sequel deserves, and the results are killer.
