Syngenor is a 1990 B horror/science fiction movie that is a sequel to the 1981 film Scared to Death. The film is directed by George Elanjian Jr and written by Michael Carmody and Brent V. Friedman. It featured David Gale from Re-Animator as Carter Brown, and Kathryn Noble from The Delos Adventure as a secretary.

Norton Cyberdyne provides high-tech military technology and their latest super weapon is "Syngenor" (SYNthesized GENetic ORganism). A prototype breaks loose and starts leaving a trial of bodies. As bodies pile up other Syngenors emerge from the basement and a battle rages between the monsters and the corporate humans.

Producer Jack F. Murphy saw the original Scared to Death and was so impressed with the monster that he wanted to make another film utilizing the same monster design. However since the first film was so a low-budget and rarely seen he wanted to distance this sequel from it in order not to alienate a new potential audience that never heard of the first film. This is why there is no character or plot carry-over from "Scared to Death" other than the monster. "Scared to Death" director William Malone was asked and was originally going to this direct this sequel. He ended up passing on the project however as he had an opportunity to go direct Creature which was a higher budgeted film. Malone however still helped out with building the monster suits.

Syngenor has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
