Halloween 2
...More Of The Night He Came Home.
Picking up precisely where its predecessor left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they left for dead in the first Halloween. It seems the inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the hospital where his sister lays waiting. As he gets closer and closer to his terrified target, Dr. Loomis discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath's savage actions. Written by horror masters John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween II is a spine-tingling dark ride into the scariest night of the year.

Lacks what made the first Halloween so special. - estefan
Lacking any of the suspense that made the John Carpenter original so terrific, this sequel is just another Dead Teenager Movie. Michael Myers walks about, just performing random killings without any semblance of fright. It's not helped by how Laurie and Dr Loomis have their strong characters taken away completely and even Carpenter's iconic score became more annoying than chilling. It's shocking that this has the same writers as the first one, because there is very little here evoking the excellence of Halloween.You weren't really expecting the same greatness, were you? - CaptainRhodes
Of course not! Yet Halloween 2 does a nice job with it's continuation of that dreadful night. The feel is still there as Laurie Strode is hospitalized following her ordeal only for the shape too track her down and continue her night of horror. This sequel does come off a little less suspenseful so is replaced with gore which was absent in the classic original. I love part two of this franchise and would recommend it to anyone that liked the first. And of course, Part four would have to be watched immediately after this one. Good Times with Mikey Myers!Great Follow up - Mykull
If you want to be scared... once again... rent this flick. Michael is pretty much at his scariest... and you won't be dissapointed with all the jumping and screaming you'll be doing when watching this flick. Not as much as a great story line as the first one was, but that is how follow up movies are usually like. But if you have seen the first one, and want to follow up to what is to now happen.. get this.
