10 Best Horror Prequels, Ranked

There have been many horror movie franchises over the years, with some producing multiple sequels following a linear timeline. Some of these series have attempted to produce origin stories for either their main baddies or the characters crucial to the narrative. Many have been great, while others have been underwhelming. The good ones really shine, though, and give fitting and much-needed backstory to the other films.

As always, the movie brings some of the most creative, gory, and brutal deaths that cinema has to offer, which is pretty much the franchise's calling card. It also increased the reputation of the overall series, as some of its predecessors were not good at all.

Release Date September 29, 2002 Director Brett Ratner Cast Anthony Hopkins , Edward Norton , Ralph Fiennes , Harvey Keitel , Emily Watson , Mary-Louise Parker Runtime 124 Writers Thomas Harris , Ted Tally 7 'Orphan: First Kill' Prequel to: 'Orphan' When a movie's main character is a child, it's going to be hard to get the main actress to reprise her role 13 years later, but Orphan: First Kill made it work.

Anabelle: Creation's aesthetics and setting are really unique for a horror movie, and the scares and story deliver more of a punch than the first Annabelle film. Overall, Anabelle: Creation is a great entry into the Conjuring Universe and serves as some much-needed backstory to the infamous doll. The filmmakers opted to get a little more creative, as their previous films were sort of bound by the allegedly true stories surrounding them.

A prequel not to the first film but to Saw II, Saw X features all of the bells and whistles that Saw fans know and love, including deadly traps and gruesome body horror. However, it also exceeds expectations in nearly every other department. This is a movie that knows what fans like while acknowledging the critics, too, pleasing both and cementing itself as one of the all-time greats. The future looks bright for the Saw franchise with this entry, so fans should be on the lookout.
