House II: The Second Story is the 1987 sequel to the House (film). While it is a sequel, this film ignores the storyline and characters from the first film, in favor of a new supernatural comedy. In 1989 European film producers released The Horror Show as House III: The Horror Show, thus forcing the final film in the series to be titled House IV in 1992.
==Storyline== (Spoiler Warning)
Young urban professionals Jesse (Arye Gross) and his girlfriend Kate (Lar Park Lincoln), move into an old mansion that has been in Jesse's family for generations. They are soon joined by Jesse's goofy friend Charlie (Jonathan Stark), who brought along his diva girlfriend Jana (Amy Yasbeck), in the hopes of being discovered by Kate (who works for a record company). Jesse has returned to this old family mansion after his parents were murdered when he was just a little baby, and he quickly locates a mysterious skull.
Jesse and Charlie decides to dig up Jesse's great, great grandfather, who is a friendly cowboy zombie that likes to party and talk about how he found the skull with his partner, Slim, and its promise of eternal life and time travel prompted the two cowboys to become eternal villains; with Slim responsible for the death of Jesse's parents. Jesse, Gramps and Charlie must try to keep Slim from getting a hold of the skull, while dealing with the fact that the skull has transformed the mansion so that each of its rooms act as hidden doorways across space and time. The time travling trio end up picking up a baby pterodactyl, a caterpillar-dog, and an Ancient Mexican woman about to be sacrificed along with battling various time travling thugs that want the skull, including Slim.
Eventually, Jesse must face off with Slim in the Wild West, and while he is victorious Gramps has been mortally wounded and passes away with a final warning about the power of the skull. The film ends with the suggestion that the heroes have decided to use the skull to time travel.
