This leads way to madcap action after a dinosaur gets loose in the house, a caterpillar-dog hybrid shows up like a cute little house pet, and the comedy of errors started in the first movie is amplified times ten or more with a bit that prehistoric chaos causing trouble. Throw in a time portal-like gateway for good measure. We’re treated to a Western adventure-style film spoof. Such as the theme of family history and family secrets continuing. There’s connective tissue joining the sequel to its predecessor, even if they really don’t have anything to do with one another in continuity. Regardless, you can still have a little fun. The horror element mainly comes out of the fact that Gramps – and later his dastardly partner Slim (Dean Cleverdon) – is a walking corpse, plus a few other undead and weird things that show up along the way. There are definitely bits of horror here, but House II feels more like a comedic fantasy than anything else.

While the tone of the first film isn’t present, the comedy is, all the way. Soon after, Jesse and his friend Charlie (Jonathan Stark) uncover photos of his great-great grandfather (Royal Dano) at a Mayan temple with a crystal skull in hand. A young couple, Jesse (Arye Gross) and Kate (Lar Park Lincoln), move into a big, ancient mansion that’s been passed down through generations of his family. House II: The Second Story really doesn’t have any continuity with the first film, but that’s okay. So, naturally, once I watched it again, I decided there’s no sense in stopping. Well, I thought for a long time it was a dream I had when I was young, I couldn’t figure out which movie it was I saw. The previous House is the first horror movie I ever remember seeing. Starring Arye Gross, Jonathan Stark, Royal Dano, Bill Maher, John Ratzenberger, Lar Park-Lincoln, Amy Yasbeck, Gregory Walcott, Dwier Brown, Lenora May, Devin DeVasquez, Jayne Modean, Ronn Carroll, & Dean Cleverdon.
