Whether agreed or disagreed with them, miss these guys. Seeing Halloween II was one of the most fun and memorable times for me growing up. My dad took me to the theater when I was only 8 years old. Irresponsible, yes and I was terrified going in. But it was my 1st experience of going to a horror movie and felt like I was attending a rock concert. The audience was loud, excited and having a blast. At that moment, at that young age, scary movies became fun for me. Grateful for the memory.

Money talks.

Little did they know that, 40 years on, they are still making those movies. RIP Siskel & Ebert

I used to love this movie when I was a teenager. Sadly, I saw this first before I saw the 1978 original. Looking back on it now, 1981's Halloween II has its moments. I thought the music was scary, it's setting at a hospital scared me, and I thought Dick Warlock did a great job playing Michael Myers. I love the original more now than the sequel, but I'll still watch it from time to time.

LOL "Second time, he's not so scary" Stand in front of Michael and say that.

"In the first one there was a pattern, the good girl lives, the bad girls get killed, this one is so nihilistic, everyone dies". Siskel and Ebert were two prude hags. So he accepts "bad girls" getting killed, but not everyone else. Actually, Annie and Lynda were regular teenage girls, Laurie was the one who was overly shy and "different".

Halloween 2 is my favorite horror sequel arguably ever. It’s right up there with Sleepaway Camp 2 for me. Both underrated classics.

Ebert gave it a negative review and thought that Halloween III was too derivative from all the “pod movies” that inspired it, that the plot itself was illogical and incoherent, and that the low budget undercut any suspension of disbelief in the plot’s credibility.

I think they should've made this sequel, and just have the story end here. I think it's a shame that HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH wasn't better received, I think an anthology would be much better than rehashing the Michael Meyers story.

Now that I have seen Halloween 2018, & Halloween Kills 2021, I have to say Halloween 2 with all it's problems is actually the best sequel to the original masterpiece as flawed as some scenes are. The plot makes sense, it follows a logical flow, we have a reason why the bad guy does what he does, & we have elements right from the first movie which Halloween 2018 & Halloween Kills try to do but those plots make zero sense & elements were done better way back when part 2 was made.

It's like the original Jaws, or Die Hard, just leave it there but no they've got to go and on and on making worse movies.

I first saw this on tv when I was seven. I saw this before the first movie. The scene where Michael walks right through the glass terrified me.

I’ll never understand these two and some of their reviews. That movie was great and still the BEST sequel of that series.

It's not that gory by today's standards, and has much the same heart pounding suspense and atmosphere as the original, IMHO.

I've always liked Halloween 2, but I understand they're criticism.

To me it's a good film sequal, it's probably one of the greatest, but with that, I do have agree with both of the people that reviewed it, if a movie did really well in the box office and is loved by critics and fans alike, you really shouldn't make a sequel to the original, because most sequel just aren't that impressive.

Yes. Halloween 2 is a great sequel but that addition to the story was not good and definitely takes away from the creepiness of it all. Just delete the scene with Marion telling Loomis about the secret file and Laurie’s Dream sequence and you have a perfectly creepy film.

I thought “Halloween II” was a great sequel hidden under the guise of a random slasher movie. There’s a lot of things they shouldn’t have done (brother and sister), but there are some frightening images and scenes in the movie. Some scenes are just ridiculous, but as a whole, I liked it. It’s a classic slasher film. This film at times feels like an adventure where you’re going around Haddonfield with Dr. Loomis and Deputy Hunt on Halloween night.

" U stay with me and shut up "...lmbo.

disagree with their review. Halloween & Part 2 are both miles ahead of the crap called slashers in the 80s and 90s. The idea of it occurring the same night works well as does the whole film. Only thing is that there were maybe too many deaths but that's because it was trying to compete with all the newer horror films coming out at the time. It still is years of miles better than Friday the 13th part 2 or anything like that.

I completely disagree with both of them. Halloween II from 1981 (as well as Halloween III Season of the Witch from 1982) are lightyears and entire dimensions beyond Halloween 1 from 1978 ... hell, even part 5 and 6 and arguably part 4 and Halloween Kills even are all better IMO than Halloween, even RZ's H2 Remake is better. I give John Carpenter credit wherever credit is due for his impact on the horror movie community, especially when it comes to soundtracks ... but as a person, I can't stand him, he only hated Halloween II (1981) because 1) he was legally forced to make a sequel, 2) because horror movies in 1981 had evolved quite a lot since 1978 so he needed more nudity and gore, which he despised since it's the exact opposite of 'his' "masterpiece" Halloween (1978) and 3) Halloween II (1981) was significantly better than Halloween (1978) in every possible way and he knows it but cannot handle it (only challenged by Halloween III - Season of the Witch, which of course he did like because it was - once again - 'his') ... when that pile of Blumhouse trash Halloween 2018 came out, he of course liked it again because - again - it was 'his' yet again ... the guy is nothing more than an overhyped narcissistic prick who left his mark in the horror world and therefore feels entitled to have his name and his vision being implemented and as soon as he doesn't get things his way, he acts like a spoilt manchild throwing a hissy fit ... always has been, always will be ... he's nothing compared to people like Wes Craven (RIP) and Clive Barker. I also never considered Halloween scary or even special ... it's a good movie but nothing more than that ... a decent basic horror movie to get audiences into horror, but for the people who are used to creepier, gorier, scarier horror movies, it is flat out boring. It's not a masterpiece by any means of the word, other than it making a huge profit compared to the budget ... Just like Jaws, it's an overhyped classic horror movie that simply isn't worthy of the hype. Halloween II (1981) and Halloween III - Season of the Witch blow Halloween away like a boring sitcom ... part 2 and 3 actually gave me nightmares on multiple occasions ... part 1 made me fall asleep ... not unlike another overrated horror movie classic named Stanley Kubrick's The Shining ... it was such a drag I feel asleep half-way through the movie ... that's never a good sign for horror movies. Siskel and Ebert are a perfect example as to why you should never take a 'professional' too seriously, if at all ... if they would've been alive today, they would've been out of a job in no time. The logic behind their ratings is sometimes downright laughable.

halloween is better them 90 percent of the slashers out around this era

By the way I like prince of darkness. Big trouble in little china has cult following now. You bad mouth carpenter but he co wrote and produced and composer music for Halloween 2.

Why does everyone hate Halloween 2? It's the best of the sequels at least.

i agree with them. Halloween II sucks...and is a boring bland fucking excuse of a sequel.

I have say that it's a fun movie. But no way near as good as the original Halloween. The new 2018 version is the real sequel to the first film. Much better then Halloween 2.

H1 was BORING. Could it be that station wagon? Daytime stalking? It was not nearly as unnerving as H2. I didn't care one bit for anyone in it. In the dark vast hospital more innocent victims being killed is what is disturbing. You never knew where MM was next or how someone would die. Great pacing and timing.

This movie looks like shit in 4:3.

Halloween II stinks. It's just a cynical retread meant to cash in on the slasher craze which ironically Halloween 1978 started.

I think Halloween II works because there ARE differences that make it not at all a retread. I think the extra plot points allow the audience to cheer more for Loomis and Laurie. Them running around doing the exact same thing with no developments made to the Shape wouldn’t have worked. And why not make the movie a little bloodier? We’re seeing what could happen to Laurie if Michael catches her. I think it adds to the tension of the sequel because sequels inevitably explain more about the lore than an original movie. You can simply ignore Halloween II and the others if you wanted to - they don’t erase the original. Whether people like it or not, the slasher icons are the comic book superheroes of Horror, and nobody is complaining about 3 different Spider-men within a decade and a half or 30+ Marvel movies all telling the same or similar stories.

@@CarloisBuriedAlive There shouldn't have been a sequel in the first place. Halloween 1978 didn't need more. Loomis looking out the window after shooting Michael and disappearing was a great ending. There's no closure and that's what makes Halloween so effective. Laurie being Michaels sister and being adopted by the Strodes and Samhain is all contrived nonsense designed just to keep the story going. John Carpenter himself hated Halloween II and I don't blame him

@@JoeyArmstrong2800 and you and Carpenter can ignore Halloween II and all the sequels while others have fun with them lol. Nothing needs a sequel. Back to the Future didn’t need sequels, but I’m happy to have more of some of my favorite characters. These are fictional stories after all...I don’t get the concept of sequels “ruining” an original - that’s just people being egomaniacs and being upset that a fake story is being continued in pop culture while they’re done with it. Like the movie or don’t like it, but to argue it shouldn’t exist is pointless - it made the studio money, it has a great soundtrack, it’s a fun movie with some creepy moments, we get more of Loomis, and it kept Michael relevant while the Freddys and Jasons were around and allowed him to become a big mainstream horror icon instead of a relic of late 70s horror cinema. I don’t see the problem. And KZread reactors like Alanda Parker can watch it and have a good time with it while Halloween fans talk about the series in the comments - all of those are good things.

Naw. They fucked this review up. Halloween 2 is legit.

Reminds me of the Silence of the Lambs sequel Hannibal - original was great but sequel absolutely sucks

Halloween 2 was a pretty awful movie.
