None of them lol

I don't believe there's a direct sequal to "The Dead Zone", although they did re-make it in to a TV Series.
-
Stephen King's work doesn't adapt well to film (with exceptions. I don't think anything he writes should be adapted or sequelled.
-
I think Firestarter One should never have been made let alone 2. Some of Stephen's earlier stuff was handled badly. And some of the sequels even worse.
-
Half of then never should have been done in the first place, his books were handled badly when changed to movies. I never saw a sequel of his that was good.
-
Pet Semetary 2, while very entertaining as a horror film, pretty much killed the magic of the first film, and I see that as unfortunate because Pet Semetary was actually quite a good adaptation.
-
I think that in pure terms of a "movie" - and when not compared to the first book, Pet Semetary 2 was not too bad. Carrie 2 and Firestarter 2 were completely horrible. It stuns me that an author who has so much respect and success, is constantly being associated with these low budget, waste-of-time movies.

Carrie 2 was bad, yup. I never saw Firestarter 2, since I didn't like the first Firestarter movie. And I detested the first Pet Sematary movie and I thought it was one of King's worst books (that book was really predictable), so I left the second trip to the Sematary to other movie go-ers. P.S. A bad Stephen King book and/or movie, can be, at the very least, a little better than most in the genre. I'm not nearly so down on King as you'd think. I'm always surprised at how often his "Creepshow" film is ignored- - it's one of my favorite King screenplays. And a favorite movie of mine, too." Creepshow 2 " was not intolerable but in no way was on par with "Creepshow."
