If only Ivy hadn't been killed off we would've got a decent sequel!

True I did love this film and it's kinda bad that we couldn't even see the original ending that Katt filmed

But in defense of the sequels (I prefer the second then the third) at least they are connected to the original unlike the fourth made for tv film that had NOTHING to do with Poison ivy and only tried to bank on the name

I actually like the third one lol. It's campy and ridiculous, but I thought Jaime Pressley was fun as Violet.

But yeah, I would've liked to have seen Ivy make it to the second film, since Alyssa Milano was a huge step down.

This is what Katt Shea had to say about the matter:

It's probably a good thing that she died because of these people that are kind of making her a role model. But at the time, my take on it was that these people get away with it. This type of person gets away for a long time with this kind of stuff. I thought the movie should end with her hitchhiking and she gets picked up by another nice person, and you know she's going to do the same thing over again, which would've set up all the sequels. But we killed her off and then suddenly they wanted to do sequels because the first movie was so successful. For me it was like: "I can't do that. It doesn't even make any sense!" So I had nothing to do with the sequels.

Had Ivy lived, do you think you and Drew would have made it into your own franchise?

I don't think we would've. We told the story, so I don't think so. But I mean, you can't stop them from doing it and that's the problem. It kind of taints the original. Sometimes I see people write about me, and they say, "Katt Shea, who is responsible for the Poison Ivy movies." And I just go, "What?" That was not my intent. I avoided that my whole Roger Corman career, and then this happens. It was just sort of sad.

Ever hear of the term spoiler?
