Halloween II
A Universal Picture
Original Theatrical Release Date: October 30th, 1981
Halloween II is a sequel that is better than it ever has any right to be. While it's primary incentive was to cash in on the slasher craze that the first Halloween set off, and which Friday The 13th punctuated, John Carpenter and company ending up making a real good time at the movies.
With it's creepy Hospital setting and the constant threat of Michael Myers stalking your every move, the picture has a potency a lot of the throwaway films of the times lack. Carpenter & Alan Howarth's entirely synth score also contribute greatly to the proceedings. For me this is what a horror sequel should be like... one that adds to the mythology and doesn't skimp on the thrills and fun... But just to be safe, make sure not to babysit today under any circumstances, and always check all your candy for razor blades.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.
Drugged and poorly wigged here, but still the best scream queen of them all.
And the TV trailer for the first Halloween's appearance on network tv. Love this one. Enjoy!
