Just goes to show John's brilliance when he was young. Even though he wrote Halloween II as a half hearted attempt and a 6 pack of beers, was it? It was still golden. He may never had created Michael Myers with the intent of franchise monument but that's what his brilliance created. He can knock Halloween II all he wants but that movie is a compendium to the original beginning, middle and end. Complete classic that's never been surpassed.

We must remember that despite his criticism here of Halloween II and the director Rick Rosenthal whom John hand picked himself, Rick had no choice but to direct the script given to him written by John Carpenter himself. Rosenthal wanted it to be like the first film in tone and style with less gore, Carpenter purposely wrote the film with more gore to please the market place at the time. He has admitted that his writing of Halloween II was not his best work. Now imagine if they had gone ahead with his original idea of setting the sequel a few years down the line with Laurie in a high rise apartment? But then maybe it’d would’ve been too similar to Carpenters little known earlier movie Someone’s Watching Me set in a high rise. Oh the benefit of hindsight.

In an issue of Fangoria Debra Hill shot down the "years later/high rise” idea, basically saying it was not their concept for the sequel and pretty much called it idiotic. So I don't think it was Carpenter's. The whole H2 issue put a big strain on whatever relationship there was between Yablans and Hill/Carpenter; in fact, Yablans was banned from the H2 set and I believe it was the last Halloween movie he had any connection to.

Well, a few issues later Debra Hill said that wasn't their idea (that it might be Yablans idea is just my assumption) and said it was a stupid idea as Michael wouldn't be able to survive for years without any social skills (one of my issues with H20 funny enough).

John Carpenter Is the reason Halloween II played out the way it did. Rosenthal wanted to make H2 feel like the 1978 original and when Carpenter go ahold of the film towards the end of production, he made all the gory changes to the movie and added a bunch of scenes in that were pointless like the first murder. The only scene that Carpenter added that was great was the security guard exploring the storeroom. That has the trademark Carpenter style of suspense to it.

I think Rosenthal did an excellent job with H2. If anything, the added gore scenes that Carpenter shot detracted from the great atmosphere that actually felt like the first movie. Some of the TV scenes were great (and should have been left in the final cut) and the music was awesome, with Alan Howarth bringing in layered synthesizers to augment Carpenter’s original score to give it a modern feel. Carpenter here was speaking only a few years later. Some movies need to be evaluated years down the line. A lot of films that were so-so at the time they were released look a lot better 20 or more years later.

I think the weakest part of the film is the characterization and performance of the hospital employees. Maybe Carpenter’s dialogue wasn’t quite as sharp without the contributions of Deborah Hill (or he just didn’t care as much), and the actors (who were classmates of Rick Rosenthal I believe) weren’t likable enough.

I think it's hilarious that he trashed Halloween II but praised Halloween III when the latter has cardboard-cutout characters that are never fleshed out. The main character is a serial-spanking misogynist of a doctor who decides to become a detective all of a sudden, and he meets a trusty sidekick who, like him, has no fluidity to her personality. I don't remember many of the other "characters," and that really says a lot about the writing of that film.

1 - 4 are worthy. After that...

Rosenthal did a phenomenal job with Halloween II. However, he did an absolutely horrendous job with Halloween Resurrection. He went from doing the best sequel to doing the absolute worst. Halloween III is also a solid flick, but Halloween II to me is the best sequel in the franchise

Loved 1-5 … 6 was just OK and the rest after that including Rob Zombies movies and the last trilogy were god awful

Halloween II was more terrifying than the orignal imo. They are my top 2 favorites of the entire franchise.

Halloween 2 is shit. The first is objectively better.

HALLOWEEN 2 was set in the hospital. The atmosphere just wasn't scary but I will admit the nurses were all hot!

H2 81 is a classic one of the greatest sequals of all time in my view that one movieis greater than the garbage current trilogy combined.

Agreed

When the dude that created the original, characters, script, music, everything says Halloween 2 is a pos and everyone still goes "Well, it's a great movie". That's like someone painting another Mona Lisa and DaVinci says how much he hates it but everyone tells him otherwise. Dick Warlock even said he didn't really liked what Nick Castle did with Michael Myers which probably makes you the dumbest mofo on the planet. Halloween 2 sucks cause Carpenter said so, period.

I agree with him here, I love H3 and not so much H2.

That hospital was too dark and empty...

He calls HII "an abomination and a horrible movie" but he endorses (and worked on) Halloween Ends?!? So.... Rick Rosenthal didn't "have a feel for the material" but DGG does?!? The suspense/thriller/drama known as Halloween Ends has the right "feel"?????? Psh. What a joke.

I never liked Halloween II much. 2018 is a much better direct sequel imo.

@Jarred Knox What exactly did it botch? No it wasn't perfect, but neither is Halloween II. Far from it. I'm completely with Carpenter on this subject, Halloween II is not as good as it's made out to be.

@Jarred Knox Nah, I've had this conversation many times before, and I still stand by my opinion. I don't feel like taking the time to argue once again. Movie opinions are subjective. I like 2018, and don't like Halloween II. Your opinions aren't going to change that, so therefore, TL;DR

@Jarred Knox Plus you tried saying it didn't illuminate anything, one thing being Laurie's trauma. Straight up fucking wrong. That was a main focus. You either didn't watch the movie or are just ignoring certain things the movie DID succeed with. Honestly, I could make the same vague points with 2018 that you're making about Halloween II.

Halloween II is one of the worst sequels ever made, it ruined the franchise forever, Season of the Witch is the 2nd best of the franchise.

Halloween II is very overrated.

@@hollywoodmkx I don’t know about that, mate. It was far out from the rest and I’ll give it that much credit.

I agree with Carpenter. Part 2 is so ridiculously overrated AF. Everything in it was a step down even making Laurie a mute who's hardly in the movie doing literally nothing, Loomis acts like a cartoon maniac, the music felt lame like a midget, lame scares the worst being Myers popping up from bottom frame like on a trampoline & Myers didn't at all act or move like Castle one bit - hate tht u could see his eyes all the time, etc. Those that loved warlock clearly don't pay attention to details.

Halloween III is arguably the best sequel in the entire series. It’s original, atmospheric, the soundtrack by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth is incredible, the ending was taboo and dark, the cinematography was very good with rural Northern California and just very creepy overall. Anyone that calls it hot garbage is entitled to their opinion, but clearly doesn’t know a quality horror film if it bit them on the ass.

I agree with Carpenter. I didn't Halloween II at all. I didn't like the subplot of Michael and Laurie being siblings. Carpenter admitted he only wrote that cause he was struggling with writers block and was drunk. Halloween 1978 is a great horror one and done story that Should've never been a franchise ever

He's absolutely correct, Halloween II is garbage. Halloween III has an intriguing premise by Nigel Kneale, is superbly photographed & suspenseful with a great performance by Dan O'Herlihy, it's just the Tom Atkins parts which ruin it & given that he's in most of the film this presents a problem. Mind you I saw Halloween again lately & found it rather dull & plodding.
