Space-based continuations of Dracula and other horror films

Horror movie sequels are always a hit and most horror movie fans are looking for the next great scare. But what happens when horror movie villains go to space? Here are 5 horror movie villains that went to space. Some were successful, while others were not so much.

The Leprechaun


The weakest entry in the Leprechaun horror film series is Leprechaun 4: In Space. The fact that it is set in space is precisely what makes it so mind-numbingly fantastic. A fantastic illustration of how to take a completely ludicrous idea and make it into something really "unique" is in the movie Leprechaun 4. You'll laugh out loud at the movie's realistic effects, inventive killing techniques, and hilarious Leprechaun lines. Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-see if you like the Leprechaun series or horror flicks in general.

Pinhead


Hellraiser: Bloodline is an intriguing prequel and sequel to the Hellraiser franchise. The plot covers three separate historical periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. Honestly, I didn't have big hopes for the fourth film in the series, since, let's face it, I'm just here for Pinhead and the Cenobites. It is always a delight to watch Doug Bradley play because he retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic vibe. This makes no logic and is tough to understand, but who cares about any of those things? Even if you've watched the whole Hellraiser series, it's worth seeing Bloodline just for the moments with Pinhead since they're so gruesome. If you loved Hellraiser or any of the other works by Clive Barker, you should check out this one for sure. Even though there isn't a whole lot of logic to it, it's still a tremendously interesting ride.

Critters


When I found out that Critters 4 was going to take place in outer space, I have to confess that the prospect piqued my interest. I mean, there's no way they can surpass the quality of the previous Critters flicks, is there? After that, though, I looked over the cast list, and I simply couldn't get excited about it. Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And what about a Jason X well-known Danish actor by the name of Anders Hove? It was impossible for me to fathom how this scenario might possibly play out.

And after viewing Critters 4, I was correct. It has a terrible setting, a terrible story, and terrible people. Fans are displeased because the characteristics that distinguished and enjoyed past entries are absent or missing. Critters 4 is a terrible failure.

Dracula


One of the very few awful horror films that is so horrible it's almost unwatchable is Dracula 3000. I adore detesting Dracula 3000. Even though it's terrible the whole time, my primary complaint is that the finale was a complete cop-out and left me feeling absolutely disappointed. "Dracula in Space" wasn't as horrible as I had imagined it would be; rather, it was dreadful. The concept is interesting, but the performance is poor, and the conversation is intolerably annoying. If you want to have a bad day, I suggest viewing it.

Also, Coolio. It stars Coolio. Did I mention that?

Jason Voorhees


The most notorious follow-up in which the antagonist travels to outer space is Jason X. The man, the myth, and the legend that is Jason Voorhees is indisputable. How he got into space, it doesn't matter. No one has any idea why he's up there. Everything else doesn't matter; all that matters is that Jason is out there, ready to cause mayhem.

In my view, Jason X is worth seeing for easter eggs and nods to past Friday the 13th movies, as well as his metamorphosis into Uber Jason.

While not everyone will like this film, horror movie aficionados who enjoy gory, cheesy slasher movies should definitely check it out.

Conclusion

Horror sequels are a MESS. Some sequels, like Leprechaun 4: In Space, transform a laughable idea. Some, like Dracula 3000, are unwatchable. If you like horror movies, check out these space sequels. Who knows, you could uncover a new horror favorite.
