What Unrelated Movies Do You Watch And Pretend They're "Spiritual Sequels" To One Another?

For me, Cabin In The Woods and This Is The End could arguably take place within the same universe. If you think about it; Cabin In The Woods ends with the "ancient ones" rising from their slumber beneath the Earth to bring forth the apocalypse. This Is The End opens with the beginning of the apocalypse and centers around egotistical celebrities trying to live out - and live with each other during - the apocalypse. Although not canon, This Is The End could easily be the continuation of Cabin In The Woods not just because of the apocalypse, but thematically as well.

Cabin In The Woods is a satirical take on the horror film genre, with each element of the film representing horror tropes and cliches. For all intents and purposes, it's an attack on Hollywood and the recycled ideas that currently exist, or have existed within the horror film genre. It makes sense that the "continuation" acts as a literal attack on Hollywood, with the main characters being the people responsible for the tropes we see in horror films today (the "people" being celebrities in general).

What do you think? What films do you pretend take place in the same universe?
