IMO Phantasm II is better than the (already excellent to begin with) original and the best of the series, though all four are great. A rare series where every entry is top-notch.

You'd probably like the sequels if you liked the original, as the sequels all had the same writer and director onboard. And if you're a fan of Aliens you also might like Phantasm II, as the two are very similar with how they compare to the originals.

This is no doubt a controversial choice, but one sequel I preferred to the original was Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. I found it more entertaining and it had a good balance of being a more fun traditional Horror movie while still having some pretty disturbing and mean-spirited moments in it. While I acknowledge the original's influence and impact on the genre and can admit objectively it's a better movie, I find TCM3 more entertaining.

Predator 2 and A New Nightmare are two I can think of off the top of my head. Both of these series's original films were really good, but I thought the films mentioned were better than their originals. Honestly, I also liked Friday the 13th Parts III, VI, and VII were better than the original, even though the original was still good. It's just I prefer the ones with Jason (with his hockey mask) better.

The Sub-Species sequels are better than the original.

It's been forever since I watched the Subspecies films, but I think I might've liked the second better than the first.

^ I agree. I find Bloodstone: Subspecies II to be better than the first.

I think I find Poltergeist II better than the first, maybe because I find Reverend Kane so creepy.
