No sequel is necessary, AT ALL. Neil Gaimon made the book a perfect fit, the ending was basically a "Happily ever after".

As was the movie, and both made the picture clear.

For one thing, there's only one key, for another, technically Other Mother is dead. I think people, who've read the book, would be disappointed if a sequel were made.

I know, but you must admit that's more ballsy than any other kid's films do these days.

Anyone else notice that the music used here in this featurette is from Twisted Metal Black?

Hmm a sequel? I can't imagine what they could do with the story from here on. I mean, pretty much all the loose ends were tied up and the entire story was told very well already. It sounds interesting, but really is there anything they could do to keep it going and make it interesting? idk I think the first movie stands so well on its own that a sequel would just be, in a way, repeating the original movie over again. Has the director or anyone actually been talking about a possible sequel?
