Words you can keep
A contamination i.e. a failed portmanteau. Comes from "pre"+"sequel" of which the latter in turn comes from Latin, "sequela"; "what follows". Therefore it is a non-word à la new/memespeak, as "quel" does not mean anything in any known language and thus "pre"+"quel" means nothing either.
Melvin: "Have you seen the prequel to »The Hangover»?"
Bob: "Have I seen what to WHAT?"
Man I was just putting the tip in and I totally prequeled. She was not impressed.

Prequel hater 

Term applied to those who can only bash and deride the latest three Star Wars movies, in spite of any argument which may bring up some positive aspects.

It is somewhat comparable to the term geewun when speaking of transformers fans as it is all related to nostalgia and fans who can't stand change or modernization.
Todd: Let's watch a dvd tonight dude, if we've got nothing better to do.

Justin: Sure, I'll get Eddie to hang out too.

Todd: Aight. What'll we watch? Action? Horror? Sci fi?
Justin: Sci fi is good, just don't get a Star Wars flick man. Eddie is a rabid prequel hater.
