When horror films explore space

The sequels of horror films are almost always quite successful, and fans of the subgenre are constantly eager for the next really terrifying experience. But what happens when the villains from horror movies go to outer space? Here is a list of five horror movie antagonists who traveled to outer space. While some were prosperous, others did not do so well in their endeavors.

The Leprechaun


The worst of the Leprechaun horror movie series is Leprechaun 4: In Space. Yes, it takes place in space, but that's what makes it so amazing. Leprechaun 4 is a great example of how to make something "special" out of a totally ridiculous premise. The movie is full of practical effects, creative kills, and Leprechaun quotes that will make you roll on the floor laughing. Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-see for anyone who likes the Leprechaun movies or scary movies in general.

Pinhead


The series' interesting continuation, Hellraiser: Bloodline, also acts as a prequel. The 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s are the three eras that the tale takes place in. Let's face it: I'm really just here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites, so I didn't have very high hopes for the fourth episode of the series. Doug Bradley retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic vibe, making it a delight to see him play. Who cares if this is tough to understand and makes no sense? Bloodline is worth seeing even if you've watched Hellraiser in its entirety because of the gruesome Pinhead moments. Definitely give this one a look if you like Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's previous books. Even if there isn't a lot of logic to it, the trip is quite enjoyable.

Critters


The intergalactic setting of Critters 4 drew me in. How could they top the previous Critters flicks, really? The cast list wasn't to my taste. Brad Dourif Astrid Bergman Anders Hove, an actor from Denmark? It didn't seem to be feasible.

And my worst worries were realized while seeing Critters 4. The plot was poor, the characters were terrible, and the setting was a rip-off of other properties. From a fan's standpoint, what hurts the most is that the elements that made the prior installments distinctive and fun are either totally eliminated or absent. Critters 4 is a terrible disaster and a major letdown.

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 has Coolio Dracula 3000 in it. Did I already say that?

Jason Voorhees


Jason X is the most well-known horror film sequel in which the villain travels to space. Jason Voorhees is the man, the tale, and the myth. It makes no difference how he arrived into space. Nobody cares why he's in space. All that counts is that Jason is in space, ready to cause mayhem.

In my opinion, Jason X is worth watching for easter eggs and callbacks to other Friday the 13th movies, as well as his transition into Uber Jason.

Even though this movie isn't for everyone, it's great for people who like campy, cheesy slasher movies.

Conclusion

Horror sequels are mixed. Leprechaun 4: In Space turns a stupid notion into something remarkable. Dracula 3000 is almost unwatchable. If you like horror movies, check out these space-based sequels. You could discover a new favorite horror film.
