Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Possibly Arc Welding. Best example I can give is A Shot in the Dark, the second Insp. Clouseau movie, which was adapted from a famous French stage play unrelated to Clouseau. I also know they did this a couple of times with Kojak where one or two of the TV movies were based on novels in which Kojak never appeared.
Hey guys, sorry if I'm asking a redundant question, I couldn't find anything on this. Is there a trope for sequels that were originally an unrelated screenplay, but had a franchise character grafted into them and became a sequel? I'm thinking mostly of the direct-to-video Hellraiser sequels, but I expect this happens with other horror franchises (and other genres) as well. Any ideas?
