I'm the biggest fucking fanboy, but Prince of Darkness. The Brotherhood of Sleep receiving telemetry from distant points. Different planets, different VHS, different apocalypses, different times. Same threat.
The Wolf Man. The moon is always full in space. In the sequel Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, the immortal lycanthrope Larry Talbot is consumed by his guilt for killing people and seeks out Dr. Frankenstein to help end his life. What if the science led them to the moon? Like a tie-in where NASA is aware of lycanthropy and wants to study it and Dr. Frankenstein's work with Talbot is foundational to their understanding of lunar science.
In the future a crazed man/ai/ or android reads about the works of Jigsaw and takes over a deep space vessel traveling with people aboard in cryosleep.
Seems legit. The story treats being underwater like being in space... their suits make more sense in low gravity vacuum than under tremendous pressure.
To me it this sort of move only makes sense when dealing with things that are already kind of science-fiction related. Like you can do a ghost story or slasher in space, but it would be better off as an original property rather than a sequel
I've had this idea rolling around in my head for years for a movie about a sort of a human cult that worships the predators, and tries to find them when they come to earth to be sacrifices for them. Then, some subset of people start hunting them instead, basically turning the whole predator culture against them. Give them interstellar travel, and having them manage to find the predator home world could be interesting...
It’s not necessary (or even wanted) but with how ridiculous some of the Children of the Corn sequels got, I’m surprised they didn’t go to space. A few of those sequels got so far away from corn; Why not go to space?
Came here to say this! Gremlins in space is the logical third installment. Make it a bit more of a star wars type universe where space travel is the norm
The sequel (prequel) could have absolutely slapped if they just stuck with the practical effects they had committed to instead of rushing a CGI job. They did Mary Elizabeth Winstead dirty on that one.
I don't know, Critters 4 made sense to go to space since they were aliens and that's where it all started, yeah? Though I think Critters 3 and 4 were pretty awful, Critters was the only franchise that didn't seem like it was jumping the shark when they went to space.
Jurassic Park on Mars… but it’s the whole terra formed planet, and we think it’s a time travel movie for 80% of the time, then we see a dead m.night Shyamalan in an abandoned facility and we realize the truth… it was 1940s Berlin the whole time
We need a sequel where the dinos have all been herded into the national parks (which are now off-limits to the general public, of course). Some rich a--holes buy their way in, somebody pushes the wrong button, all Hell breaks loose.
I'd like to watch season of American Horror Story, where we can see cosmonauts in rocket, maybe on moon. It is not typical movie franchise, so maybe my comment is off-topic.
Everyone is in cryo sleep and 250 years later once everyone wakes up they find the raving holorecordings of the ships doctor who accidentally woke up 5 years into the journey, we spend the first half hour with just the doctor alone, slowly losing his sanity as he begins modifying his own body to match his broken mind. Eventually he starts to drug those still in cryo sleep, testing drugs, killing some with lethal cocktails and twisted body horror surgeries and pulling others out to experiment on them. This eventually leads a 5 person centipede where using advanced tech he has fused their spines together and broken and refused their arms and legs to more effectively move in their new form. At the end of the film we see that in the captain's chair is the doctor's dessicated corpse, as he's been dead for 200 years, and coiled around his feet is the mummified remains of his centipede. (Edit for spelling)
Hush. Imagine a Deaf astronaut and a guy suddenly goes floating by the porthole and then breaks into the airlock. He's Russian, because scary accent, from the ISS, but he had a psychotic break and suited up to attack the NASA shuttle.
I would say the Predator franchise, but they tried that, and totally dicked the dog. Alien started in space, so maybe someone could slap down an uno reverse card on that and recover the franchise from what it’s become?
An Alien movie on Earth could actually have potential. One of these things finally made it here (probably because of some stupid android working for the stupid evil capitalists). Now what?
Gremlins. The outbreak first occurs on a transport ship who call mayday and emergency-dock at a spacestation. Mayhem insues. Heroes must lure the gremlins to the captains deck and lift the solar shields to save the day.
There's some pretext for it being in continuity with The Exorcist, too - at the party where she's in a trance and pees on the rug, Regan first says to a houseguest "You're going to die up there." The guest she's talking to is an astronaut with an upcoming mission.
Weird option since it's not generally considered horror and it is only one film, but Annihilation. Imagine we get the gene splicing shenanigans but with flora and fauna that starts out being otherworldly, opens up a lot of options for body horror when organs that don't process oxygen become incorporated into the human body.
Not that this is an actual franchise, but if the Stab movies (the movie franchise within the Scream movie universe) went to space they could call the killer Ghostspace
I wonder what would happen if the carrier went to space and never came down. Would it float up into space or just stand around waiting for them to come back, or just say fuck it and go for their predecessor?
To be fair, Critters are aliens in the first place, so I wouldn't call Critters 4 "the well of creativity running dry" for that reason. Maybe for other reasons, sure.
I'd like to see Reggie, Mike, and Jodie travel through the portal to the dimention/planet of the Tall Man in the next Phantasm movie. It wouldn't be the same without Angus, but the Tall Man said "I have many faces" so it might work.
Human with high tech gear shows up on a backwater Predator colony planet. Turns out only the aristocratic elite of Predators are mighty hunters/warriors, everybody else is just trying to make a living, and they have to deal with this human maniac.
Silence of the Lambs... spaceship crew finds an ancient cryogenic capsule with Dr. Hannibal Lecter and they thaw him out. He becomes popular with his delicious cooking, but one by one the crew begins to disappear.
Bad Taste (not a franchise, but) I’d always wished we’d gotten a sequel where Derek (who already is on the house/ship headed to the alien home planet at the end) actually landed. Then just Peter Jackson chainsawing aliens for 90 minutes or so.
I'd like to see a season of Ash vs. The Evil Dead take place on a populated planet in a galaxy far, far away, and they have to save the planet to get sent back to earth. Sort of Army of Darkness meets Return of the Jedi.
I know we had Predators but I'd love to see the Colonial Marines head to a big space station or colony expecting a Xenomorph outbreak only for them to have to find them already killed by a Predator
Child's Play. A crew goes into space for exploration. Each person can bring one comfort item aboard. One brings Chucky (suspend disbelief on how he found him). Chucky then proceeds to cause mayhem on board. His owner manages to fatally wound him but before he dies, he transfers his soul to the ship's computer so now you have an evil spaceship trying to kill off the remaining crew, with the computer voice replaced by Chucky.

This is the most interesting response in this thread
Moons haunted
That’s how they get you - they’re on the goddamn moon!
Not quite the same, but if anyone's interested I highly recommend
Tremors on a Mars colony
Try Shark Side of the Moon on Tubi. So cheesy.
I’m thinking A Quiet Place with better monsters and fantastic silent kill scenes due to the vacuum of space.
If Rick and Morty has taught me anything, it’s that this is enough to successfully pitch a movie to Netflix
Sounds like a Dune horror movie
How much do you need to fund this, and what's your venmo?
Final Destination on a Space Station has a nice ring to it.
Final Destination and Beyond
Final Destination Station
I like it! They could get super creative with the kills with a zero G element
I'm glad someone else had the same thought. :)
No spoilers but For All Mankind has many moments the feel right at home with Final Destination in space.
The Thing, without a single doubt. Can you imagine how scary that would be on the moon or in a space station?
Or a world it's already taken at least partway over. I'd say the thing Homeworld but that'd just be instadeath.
Only if, like the previous three, this film is also, paradoxically, just called "The Thing."
In a way, the original kinda already took place in space. Where in the world is more isolated than Antarctica?
If you havent already, you should check out an anime film called "Lily C.A.T."
Among us
Dead Space took a lot of inspiration from The Thing for sure.
Isn’t that Life? The one with Ryan Reynolds lol
So, basically, Alien (1979)?
Amogus
Only if they hold a vote on who to shove in the airlock
God I want a new dead space. Maybe I will pick up the remake
I'm the biggest fucking fanboy, but Prince of Darkness. The Brotherhood of Sleep receiving telemetry from distant points. Different planets, different VHS, different apocalypses, different times. Same threat.
Prince of Darkness is really Underrated
Same here I always thought there was limitless potential in that story :)
The Wolf Man. The moon is always full in space. In the sequel Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, the immortal lycanthrope Larry Talbot is consumed by his guilt for killing people and seeks out Dr. Frankenstein to help end his life. What if the science led them to the moon? Like a tie-in where NASA is aware of lycanthropy and wants to study it and Dr. Frankenstein's work with Talbot is foundational to their understanding of lunar science.
Evil Dead, of course.
Bonus points if they can incorporate the word "Ashtronaut"
Evil Dead Space
OMG I never knew I wanted this so bad until I saw this comment.
Holy shit, Deadites on a space ship would be incredible!!
Groovy
Nightmare on Elm Street could have been fucking awesome in a “deep sleep” space travel context.
"In space, no one can hear you dream."
Freddie would just kill them all. They wouldn't have the option to wake up and temporarily escape him
A Nightmare Beyond Elm Street
In the future a crazed man/ai/ or android reads about the works of Jigsaw and takes over a deep space vessel traveling with people aboard in cryosleep.
That would be dope.
This is the sequel I need from Alien Covenant.
This only for them to make a sloppy twist reveal prequel to explain how the space station was made over a decade after the original movie
Passengers meet Event Horizon? I like it.
That's basically Cube. And it was awesome.
Spiral (Galaxy): From the Book of Saw
Take my money
Not so sure about franchise, but i kept having to remind myself (for whatever reasons) when watching Underwater (2020) that it wasn't in space.
It’s because the whole movie is an homage to Alien. There are even Weyland Yutani logos visible a few times
Seems legit. The story treats being underwater like being in space... their suits make more sense in low gravity vacuum than under tremendous pressure.
I love that movie so much! Huge fan lol
That movie was way more fucked up than the pg13 rating let on, I would have thought it'd be R
To me it this sort of move only makes sense when dealing with things that are already kind of science-fiction related. Like you can do a ghost story or slasher in space, but it would be better off as an original property rather than a sequel

Then, some subset of people start hunting them instead, basically turning the whole predator culture against them. Give them interstellar travel, and having them manage to find the predator home world could be interesting...
A few hundred years in the future, Earth is part of a peaceful interstellar federation. The Predators are the Borg/Klingons of their universe.
It’s not necessary (or even wanted) but with how ridiculous some of the Children of the Corn sequels got, I’m surprised they didn’t go to space. A few of those sequels got so far away from corn; Why not go to space?
He Who Walks Behind the Neutral Zone
The one in the city is top notch trash
Anything where the entity came from space. So, The Thing, IT, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, um, Alien, District 9? I dunno.
District 9 oh man any sequel would be good
Critters👌
Gremlins
Came here to say this! Gremlins in space is the logical third installment. Make it a bit more of a star wars type universe where space travel is the norm
While I may have hated a sequel for it, The Thing.
There has never been a sequel that other movie was a prequel
The sequel (prequel) could have absolutely slapped if they just stuck with the practical effects they had committed to instead of rushing a CGI job. They did Mary Elizabeth Winstead dirty on that one.
The Thing: Origins
Space-X won't replace government agencies in space exploration.
I don't know, Critters 4 made sense to go to space since they were aliens and that's where it all started, yeah? Though I think Critters 3 and 4 were pretty awful, Critters was the only franchise that didn't seem like it was jumping the shark when they went to space.
Yeah, setting Critters 4 in space could have, should have, worked.
Children of the Corn.
Evil clowns from outer space
Makes sense. The Killer Klowns were aliens
Annihilation could maybe work, I just love that movie so damn much
Check out the trilogy of books if you haven't already.
Hey now, Jason X is a treasure ;-;
"It's gonna take more than a poke in the ribs to put down this old dog!"
"It's alright guys, he just wanted his machete back!"
Jurassic Park on Mars… but it’s the whole terra formed planet, and we think it’s a time travel movie for 80% of the time, then we see a dead m.night Shyamalan in an abandoned facility and we realize the truth… it was 1940s Berlin the whole time
I'd watch
I know you joke but there's an episode of Doctor Who that's essentially the first half.
We need a sequel where the dinos have all been herded into the national parks (which are now off-limits to the general public, of course). Some rich a--holes buy their way in, somebody pushes the wrong button, all Hell breaks loose.
Of the theatrical releases I’ll still stand by Hellraiser 4 not only being a decent flick, but far superior to 3.
It gets a lot of hate, but I think maybe it was just too ambitious for its own good. Could have been split into 2 movies.
I wish Weinstein hadn't fucked with it. It could have been better.
I'd like to watch season of American Horror Story, where we can see cosmonauts in rocket, maybe on moon. It is not typical movie franchise, so maybe my comment is off-topic.
[удалено]
I love that movie.
The one from 2008? I just watched the trailer because I was curious. The editing of the trailer was so jarring and hard to follow.
Final Destination.
Hell yeah, how hasn’t that happened?
Event Horizon was almost Hellraiser In Space.
human centipede- it wouldn’t work but would sure as fuck be funny
Everyone is in cryo sleep and 250 years later once everyone wakes up they find the raving holorecordings of the ships doctor who accidentally woke up 5 years into the journey, we spend the first half hour with just the doctor alone, slowly losing his sanity as he begins modifying his own body to match his broken mind.

Hush. Imagine a Deaf astronaut and a guy suddenly goes floating by the porthole and then breaks into the airlock. He's Russian, because scary accent, from the ISS, but he had a psychotic break and suited up to attack the NASA shuttle.
First of all, how dare you insult Critters 4. Second of all, where can I watch Critters 4 right now?? Brad Dourif FOREVERRRRR!
Don't forget Terrence Mann and Angela Bassett.
Plus they are already from space, so this already fits the criteria lol
Always check the bargain bins my friend, I got the 4 pack for $5
Evil Dead in space would’ve been a perfect Bruce Campbell movie back in the day! Sadly he has moved on from playing Ash physically.
Terminator
Oh shit, why hasn't that happened?
After seeing "Shark Side of the Moon", my response is Jaws.
I think a prequel to Event Horizon could work
I would say the Predator franchise, but they tried that, and totally dicked the dog. Alien started in space, so maybe someone could slap down an uno reverse card on that and recover the franchise from what it’s become?
Predators was pretty good, imo.
Damn. I came here to say Re-animator lol
An Alien movie on Earth could actually have potential. One of these things finally made it here (probably because of some stupid android working for the stupid evil capitalists). Now what?
Slither 2
Freddy Kreuger, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Every planet has an Elm St
I think Hellraiser 4 could have worked without the studio meddling
Yeah I watched a workprint on YouTube with some animated scenes that filled in the script gaps and it would have been better.
Gremlins. The outbreak first occurs on a transport ship who call mayday and emergency-dock at a spacestation. Mayhem insues. Heroes must lure the gremlins to the captains deck and lift the solar shields to save the day.
This is the best idea.
Thankskilling 2. "Nice tits bitch, IN SPACE!" I assume it'dve been 100% better than 3 if they hadn't destroyed all the copies...
Birds
The exorcist or maybe I just really want to see a science fiction possession movie. Something akin to Event Horizon meets the Exorcist.
Like possessed by a space creature/futuristic mind control, or possessed by a biblical demon? Either way I could see that being cool in space
Ghosts Of Mars has possessions in space
There's some pretext for it being in continuity with The Exorcist, too - at the party where she's in a trance and pees on the rug, Regan first says to a houseguest "You're going to die up there." The guest she's talking to is an astronaut with an upcoming mission.
Underworld. Imagine vampires in space suits fighting lycans - on the moon!
Vampires In SPAAAAAAAAACE !
Plot twist: vampires ARE from space and sunlight in space doesn't harm them.
Critters should have worked in space, but it should've been Critters 2.
Predator!! Because no predator movie has happened in space... except some scenes maybe... like the hybrid in AvP...
Weird option since it's not generally considered horror and it is only one film, but Annihilation. Imagine we get the gene splicing shenanigans but with flora and fauna that starts out being otherworldly, opens up a lot of options for body horror when organs that don't process oxygen become incorporated into the human body.
There is also the book trilogy.
Humanity colonizing any planet or celestial body. Propagating this [gesturing all around] is fucking terrifying.
JAWS. Dont ask me why. Just imagine it.
We're gonna need a bigger spaceship...
I think you're confusing Critters with Tremors there.
28 Lightyears Later
Beetlejuice.
The Child's Play franchise has gone so completely meta and ridiculous at this point, that I'm surprised they haven't tried sending a Chucky to space.
Color out of Space
Not that this is an actual franchise, but if the Stab movies (the movie franchise within the Scream movie universe) went to space they could call the killer Ghostspace
Jason X is a fun movie and I’m willing to die on that hill
The liquid nitrogen kill is pretty narly
It Follows.
I wonder what would happen if the carrier went to space and never came down. Would it float up into space or just stand around waiting for them to come back, or just say fuck it and go for their predecessor?
Phantasm (in space, could work with the franchise’s premise)
Cool idea for a topic.
To be fair, Critters are aliens in the first place, so I wouldn't call Critters 4 "the well of creativity running dry" for that reason. Maybe for other reasons, sure.
Paranormal Activity
At least that would explain why the characters don't just leave immediately.
Toxic Avenger would be fun in space
There definitely needs to be a Troma space movie. Or is there one I don't know about?
Hey! Hellraiser had a fantastic movie when it went to space. That movie's called Event Horizon.
Willy Wonka
But that's not hypothetical, that's actually a thing that happened
Not a partical movie, but I could see some lovecraftian inspired movie play in space.
Pandorum (2009)
I'd like to see Reggie, Mike, and Jodie travel through the portal to the dimention/planet of the Tall Man in the next Phantasm movie. It wouldn't be the same without Angus, but the Tall Man said "I have many faces" so it might work.
It took 20 years to get the last one made, that series is dead.
That would be amazing, but I wouldn't want a Phantasm without Angus Scrimm, he really made that character.
Quarantine
Ghoulies V: Ghoulies go to Space
I’m surprised to not see “Predator” here. Reverse Predator with a human hunter on their planet seems a given, and yet it’s never happened.
Human with high tech gear shows up on a backwater Predator colony planet. Turns out only the aristocratic elite of Predators are mighty hunters/warriors, everybody else is just trying to make a living, and they have to deal with this human maniac.
Wow, this is an amazing question!
At this rate, Chucky. Imagine if Chucky possessed the head of NASA or something.
Arachnophobia, but a nest of deadly spiders in the ISS or something similar.
Us. A Quiet Place. Christine. Oculus.
Silence of the Lambs... spaceship crew finds an ancient cryogenic capsule with Dr. Hannibal Lecter and they thaw him out. He becomes popular with his delicious cooking, but one by one the crew begins to disappear.
Bad Taste (not a franchise, but) I’d always wished we’d gotten a sequel where Derek (who already is on the house/ship headed to the alien home planet at the end) actually landed. Then just Peter Jackson chainsawing aliens for 90 minutes or so.
Predator maybe, online a massive space station thats big an grungy with a 40k aesthetic, you know so one stray bullet doenst kill everyone
I'd like to see a season of Ash vs. The Evil Dead take place on a populated planet in a galaxy far, far away, and they have to save the planet to get sent back to earth. Sort of Army of Darkness meets Return of the Jedi.
28 Decades Later. The latent epidemic breaks out on a massive fleet of ships filled with the first hopeful Mars colonists.
Children of the Corn on a mars colony.
Escape from New York and Escape from LA need the ending called Escape from Earth.
Alien vs Predator. No dialogue whatsoever. Just an alien hunting down a predator and vice versa.
Resident Evil
Jason X was very creative in what it did with the space setting and doesn't belong on that list with those other shitty space sequels.
I can respect that! I’m glad you enjoy it :)
Saw that at the cinema, really enjoyed it.
Sleepaway Space Camp
An American Werewolf In London, but this time, it's An American Werewolf In Space.
If the full moon makes him transform, what happens when he is literally on the moon?
Predator. We get shots in space but we are never in space. Hell, never even leave Earth and whenever you do you’re on a location identical to Earth.
I know we had Predators but I'd love to see the Colonial Marines head to a big space station or colony expecting a Xenomorph outbreak only for them to have to find them already killed by a Predator
The thing
Resident Evil, but in a Martian facility.
Ad Astra x It Follows
Poltergeist in Space.
The Descent.
Any werewolf movie on the moon.
Child's Play. A crew goes into space for exploration. Each person can bring one comfort item aboard. One brings Chucky (suspend disbelief on how he found him). Chucky then proceeds to cause mayhem on board. His owner manages to fatally wound him but before he dies, he transfers his soul to the ship's computer so now you have an evil spaceship trying to kill off the remaining crew, with the computer voice replaced by Chucky.
A Nope Sequel
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre taking place on a large, sprawling, derelict moon base that has been undermanned and underfunded for many years.
