The Black Phone
OK, yes, there's a pretty good chance that if you've just watched Black Phone 2 you've already seen The Black Phone, but trust us on this. Because Black Phone 2 not only progresses the story forward, but goes back and fills in some new information about the first film, watching The Black Phone again after you've seen the sequel is a new experience. Even if you know where it's going, you'll gain more depth in the story, enriching both movies in the process.

The Shining
Black Phone 2 is a film that takes place at a snowbound location in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and if you want the ultimate version of that particular angle, it doesn't get any better than The Shining. Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel about a haunted hotel and a boy with frightening powers is an all-time classic for a lot of reasons, but one of them is how deeply you can feel the isolation and the cold up at the Overlook Hotel. That makes it a great Black Phone 2 companion.

Misery
Want more snowbound horror? The late, great Rob Reiner's Stephen King adaptation will also give you all of those claustrophobic wintry vibes while delivering an entirely different kind of suspense. Based on the novel of the same name, Misery is basically a two-character play about a writer (James Caan) trapped by a psychotic superfan (Kathy Bates) over one long, torturous winter. It's been decades, and it's still an edge-of-your-seat film that ranks up there with The Shining as one of the best Stephen King movies ever made.

Sleepaway Camp
While The Black Phone took place in the neighborhoods of Denver, Black Phone 2 moves the action to a quiet, creepy camp in the mountains, making it an entry in the Camp Horror genre. And if you want more camp horror, Sleepaway Camp remains one of the best to ever do it. It's a great slasher packed with inventive kills, and of course a shocking, jaw-dropping ending.

Terrifier 2
Want another horror sequel that brings its villain back from the dead in surprising, gruesome ways? Terrifier 2 has you covered. Damien Leone's infamous sequel to his original indie horror favorite ups the gore, the runtime, and the clown-driven mayhem in ways you won't forget. It doesn't match Black Phone 2's tone, but the two films stand together among the best horror sequels of the last five years.

The Exorcist III
And here's yet another sequel that revives the original film's villain in some very unexpected ways, with even more of the religious horror that lays around the edges of Black Phone 2's plot. Written and directed by Exorcist creator William Peter Blatty, Exorcist III is both a self-contained religious horror mystery and a remarkable legacy sequel to The Exorcist.

Candyman (2021)
Want another sequel that resurrects the original villain in surprising ways and adds depth to the franchise's lore? Nia DaCosta's Candyman does all that and more, delivering a new twist on a beloved '90s horror icon while adding more depth, thematic shading, and visceral power to the entire story.

The Invisible Man
Leigh Whannell's update on the classic Universal Monster might not share much DNA with Black Phone 2 at first glance, but look closer and you'll see they have quite a bit in common. They're both about people steeped in paranoia as they're stalked by an unseen force, and they both find wonderful ways to use the powers of their respective monsters for harrowing setpieces. Plus, they're just both greatest Universal Pictures horror films from the 2020s.

Phantasm
This is a bit more esoteric in terms of the connective tissue between Don Coscarelli's indie horror classic and Black Phone 2, but both the new film and Phantasm do in fact share some horror DNA. They're both about teenage boys trying to shape their identities and their futures in the face of unimaginable horror, they both have an iconic villain at their core, and they're both full of a certain dreamy atmosphere that makes them that much more impactful. Plus, any time is a good time to watch Phantasm.

Ginger Snaps
One of the greatest coming of age horror stories of all time, Ginger Snaps is about two sisters whose lives are upended when they realize one of them is turning into a werewolf. Yes, that's very different from Black Phone 2, but it's important to remember that the Black Phone films are, very crucially, about young people contending with innocence lost and the intrusion of horror on their daily lives. In that way, they make nice companions.
