Bud, are the Basket Case sequels worth watching

they absolutely are!!! i have notes though.

if you've seen Frankenhooker, BC2 was being filmed at the exact same time & with the exact same sfx artist (the legendary Gabe Bartalos), and were even pitched at the same meeting with Glickenhaus, so you might be able to imagine the shift in tone from the original. although Henenlotter is known for his distinct style, 1990 marks when he both had way more money to work with, and when he started to get really really really really goofy with it. BC3 reaches absolute peak fucking around, almost more comedy than horror.

basket case was not made with the mind that sequels could follow (they DIED at the end lol), so for that and a multitude of reasons I don't see them as a natural continuation of the first. Duane's characterization for one shifts to being very neurotic and mostly played for laughs, and the updated animatronic Belial is impressive, but really just not as cute as the og. i think of the sequels as more of a "what if?" alternate ending. but that's all my opinion, there's some people that like the sequels better than the original... you be the judge !

basically just know what to expect: over the top, fast-paced and silly :) if all else fails you can admire the amazing creature makeup/sfx, and the lead is kinda cute i guess..(<- insane)

also, BC2 leaves on a cliffhanger which wraps up in BC3, so i recommend watching them back to back!
