It’s Wishmaster Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey wish they were wrapping up this franchise, but it turns out there's even more after this!
Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!
The Classic Film: Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)
"The evil Djinn is awakened once more and must collect 1,001 souls to begin the Apocalypse” (IMDb.com). Unlike the original Wishmaster, which was a lot of fun, this sequel seems like it's trying to actively avoid every opportunity for the coolest kills.
The Modern Film: Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell (2001)
"The evil Djinn is back at again, this time wreaking havoc on the students of Illinois' Baxter University” (IMDb.com). The one saving grace of Wishmaster 2 was that Andrew Divoff was at least still in it. He is not in part 3.
