	Halloween II (1981) \| Classic-Horror
		Halloween II is an attempt to explore these questions.
		Because this means we must focus more closely on a murderer whose horror comes primarily from our inability to see him clearly (or at all), Halloween II is not quite as scary as the first, but it does illuminate the nature of the Shape and thereby nature of evil.
		Halloween II analyzes that horror, but to do so, it has to drop some of the panache.

	Stomp Tokyo Review - Halloween II (1981)
		The original Halloween was a suspense masterpiece, a wonderful example of how modern horror could be pared down to its most primal elements: innocent victims, a knife-wielding maniac with no personality, a suburban setting.
		Perhaps the worst thing about the Halloween II is the change that Michael Myers has gone through since the original.
		Most of Halloween II takes place in the hospital to which Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is shuttled after the events of Halloween.

	Halloween II - Rotten Tomatoes
		Had Halloween 2 not been a sequel to one of the greatest genre films of all time, it would be regarded as little more than another bad slasher film from an era full of bad slasher films -
		Halloween is a classic and its first sequel is a sloppy afterthought.
		Halloween II is good enough to deserve a sequel of its own.

	Halloween II Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		In "Halloween II", we're stuck with the wise-ass, over-sexed EMT; the inept hospital security guard; the buxom but nice-to-Laurie blonde-bimbo nurse; and the over-the-top dictator head-nurse.
		Nurse Marion got it from Mikey in "Halloween: H20", and Michael finally got Laurie Strode in the opening minutes of the most recent film, "Halloween: Resurrection", which was directed by Rick Rosenthal.
		New film footage made its way into various versions of the first Halloween movie that was shot during the filming of the second film to introduce the "mystery" of Lauri as Michael's sister.

	Halloween II - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Halloween II is the first sequel to the 1978 horror classic, Halloween.
		After the horrific events of Halloween, Michael Myers follows Laurie Strode to the hospital, where it is revealed that Laurie is Michael's younger sister, not his second cousin, twice removed.
		With Halloween II, Carpenter decided to kill off Michael Myers once and for all and reserve the rest of the Halloween Series to anthology stories taking place on Halloween night.

	BBC - collective - Halloween II [1981]
		Halloween II takes place on the same night as Halloween with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) rushed to hospital after her ordeal from Myers.
		The revelation (hinted at in the TV version of Halloween) does take away some power from the first film as Myers was perceived to have no motive to stalk and terrorise young Laurie and that was the raw terror.
		Halloween II is bloodier and also verges on the slightly silly but the narrative is still there (even if it does have to stoop into a ‘Luke, I am your father’ skit) and it doesn’t dissolve into another brainless slasher.

	Halloween II (1981) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is the only Halloween film to show the morning after the 31st, every other movie ends on Halloween night.
		Even with Jamie Lee Curtis on board in the most recent ‘Halloween' movies, the impact of the first two ‘Halloween' movies was never rekindled which is due in part to the loss of Pleasance.
		This has now been stopped in the most recent ‘Halloween' movie – ‘Halloween Resurrection' and although it is said that this gives way to a new story, it seems to lead it to older stories where the villain kills senselessly.

	Horrordvds.com - Halloween II DVD review
		Like many fans, I find Halloween II to be great for a sequel, but also think that it falls short of reaching the classic status of the original.
		Halloween II shows gore whereas the original really didn't, and that's mostly what is used to help build the environment of suspense and fear in this sequel.
		Halloween II is presented in an anamorphic widescreen transfer in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

	Halloween II (1981)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) was a remarkable success story, a film made for less than half-a-million dollars that went on to become for several years the most successful low-budget film ever made.
		Halloween II out of obligation to Carpenter for giving her a career boost – although she did return to the fold seventeen years later for Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later [1998]).
		Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) was made as part of the series but is unrelated to the Michael Meyers/Myers saga.

	THE COLD SPOT \ Movies \ Halloween II
		Halloween II is a straight continuation of the first film, picking up where it ended.
		Finding a good place between the two, Halloween II is a truly brilliant sequel and would have made a good ending to Michael's career.
		Halloween II has be called the only official sequel, and it is much more than that - it is a continuation of the storyline, exactly following the end of part one, leading to the hospital where Laurie has been taken to.

	HALLOWEEN II
		Although HALLOWEEN II is ostensibly the continuation of the night "HE came home", to these now veteran eyes this is a 1981 slasher flick through and through.
		HALLOWEEN II only truly kicks into gear when a still drugged and injured Laurie and Myers finally set eyes on each other (in a memorable moment he stabs a nurse in the back in front of her and lifts her off her feet with the scalpel handle, as Laurie attempts to flee down a corridor).
		Regardless, although HALLOWEEN II will always suffer in comparison with the first film (Carpenter's HALLOWEEN is perhaps the perfect horror movie: a breathtakingly simple, beautifully sleek shock machine), judged alone (a tall order I know) it's sequel is still a small classic in the early 80's slash arena.

	Halloween II (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Halloween II Synopsis: Rushing to the rescue of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Dr Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) fires six shots into her assailant, Michael Myers (Dick Warlock), sending him plunging from the second-storey balcony of the house.
		His work in Halloween II is, to me, rather reminiscent of that of Richard Burton in The Medusa Touch: dubious films, both, but close your eyes and open your ears and they very nearly work.
		Whereas the story of Halloween is told primarily from the viewpoints of Sam Loomis and Laurie Strode, one as he pursues that “evil”, the other as she becomes aware of it, in Halloween II, large stretches of the action are seen exclusively through Michael’s eyes.

		Halloween and its sequel Halloween II put their own spin on the Boogeyman.
		My favorite thing about Halloween II is that the characters that come back for this sequel are played by the same actors I saw in the original.
		The opening scene of Halloween II replays the ending of the first movie, but it needs the Boogeyman element in order to be a compelling film.

	Halloween II - Movie Reviews Blog
		At a glance, the lead criticism is that, while the original Halloween was an original horror masterpiece, Halloween II brought very little to the table.
		Halloween II, however, is more in tune with the slasher genre and gratuitous violence everyone recognizes the series for.
		Halloween II is one of the better installments in the franchise and, despite some story elements I donât particularly appreciate, is a worthy companion to the original.

		Halloween: H20 was such a success and I had it in my contract that I could appear in another one so I was happy to do it.
		I think with Halloween: H20 we really tried to deal with her coming to grips with the whole Halloween history.
		I think she obviously wishes that her friends from Halloween were still alive and all of that, but at the same time it helped her to grow up.

	Review: Halloween II
		Most of Halloween II transpires in the hospital where Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is taken in the wake of her babysitting ordeal.
		Halloween was a classic - the kind of film that will cause you to walk a little faster on your way home after a screening, or, if you travel by car, to check the back seat.
		As slasher movies go, Halloween II is far from the bottom of the barrel, but, given its pedigree, one has a right to expect a higher degree of quality that what is delivered.

	Halloween (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Halloween II seems to ditch the ultra-smooth panaglide point-of-view shots that made Halloween famous.
		The best thing about Halloween II is that it tries to put a full stop on the Halloween story, there is no disappearing body this time, Myers is dead.
		Apart from some interesting plot developments Halloween II is an average film, worth watching back to back with Halloween to see how the story actually ends.

		Halloween drops us with no real sense of closure even though it is complete in itself.
		Halloween II picks up right where it left off and finishes the story of that fateful Halloween night.

	HALLOWEEN II - UNIVERSAL DVD
		Halloween II picks up exactly where Halloween left off, though a seam would show if you pasted the two films together, and that seam goes by the name of Rick Rosenthal.
		Halloween II's violence was reportedly beefed up by none other than Carpenter himself, after Rosenthal had been a little too faithful to the spirit of what preceded it--bloodless horror couldn't thrive in the eighties marketplace.
		She survived the escaped psychotic Michael Myers' (Dick Warlock) homicidal rampage in Halloween and seemed his prime target, so he has altogether dismissed bullet wounds from Loomis' (Donald Pleasance) gun and resumed stalking Laurie in Halloween II.

		Many fans have got it into their heads that it is a completely different mask in Halloween II from the mask in the original movie.

		Sure he makes up for it in the finale (and the sequel), but the idea of the alleged main character standing on the lawn for an hour of screen time in the hope that the villain will come check his mail amounts to a bowl of spiced boredom.
		One of the culprits in the relegation of the original Halloween back to the realm of Cliché Horror films is the myriad mediocre sequels out there racing with Friday the Thirteenth and A Nightmare on Elm Street to be the most watered down film series of all time.
