There are a lot of King adaptations that have been sequeled (Carrie, Pet Sematary, The Mangler, Children of the Corn, etc.). Are there any that are even worth a watch, even as a B-movie?

....the only one I didn't find egregiously bad was the second Pet Semetary.....There are a lot of King adaptations that have been sequeled (Carrie, Pet Sematary, The Mangler, Children of the Corn, etc.). Are there any that are even worth a watch, even as a B-movie?
How can it be an 'unofficial' sequel if it's something based off of a movie that's based on a King book? If it's unofficial then it's plagiarized.So many of you are mentioning creepshow 2, but I’m talking about sequels to movies based off his books. Plus it was still written by Romero and King so it’s not really unofficial.
Unofficial in the King cannon/ not directly adapted from a book he wroteHow can it be an 'unofficial' sequel if it's something based off of a movie that's based on a King book? If it's unofficial then it's plagiarized.

I’m aware, the thing is that Creepshow is an anthology set in the world of a comic book, including other stories not based on his shorts.Both Creepshow 1 and 2 contain stories which were published before: Weeds, The Crate, The Raft.
Boxers or briefs?I’m aware, the thing is that Creepshow is an anthology set in the world of a comic book, including other stories not based on his shorts.
Oh haha very originalBoxers or briefs?

Yeah but some enjoy them as guilty pleasuresOkay, let's try this again: Not counting Creepshow 2... ALL sequels to a SK film adaptation are an utter waste of time. You're welcome.

Yes of courseHow other people waste their finite time on this planet is not my concern.

Yes, but... Creepshow 2 was still written by King. If you’re gonna put a creepshow movie in here it would have to be 3.But you didn't specify that. You also mentioned Children of the Corn and The Mangler, which were also short stories, just like the ones in Creepshow 1 and 2.
In any case, Creepshow 2 feels a lot like those other sequels, in that it is nowhere near as good as the original. And people mention it, because it's one of the few that's actually watchable. The thrid story at least has the classic line: 'Thanks for the ride, lady!'
I also like the line "That's gonna cost ya Mrs Lansing"But you didn't specify that. You also mentioned Children of the Corn and The Mangler, which were also short stories, just like the ones in Creepshow 1 and 2.
