Halloween 2: Why Is It Considered The Best Sequel?

[@dravenlee4473]

I love how robotic Michael is in this. He’s so robotic that you could potentially tie it in to Halloween 3. Michael could have been Cochran’s killbot.

[@CSS-Tails_Forever]

Halloween II (1981) is the best sequel to me because I love how it continues from the original and it has some awesome kills, great atmosphere and the line "You don't know what death is!" Is so iconic! This sequel was the best way to end the series as Dr Loomis and Michael Myers originally died here. I love the chase scene with Michael and Laurie with the fantastic soundtrack!

He never does his full research on his content. And he allows his bias and ignorance misconstrue information for people who have never seen the product before. These people need to realize that there are DIE HARD fans out here who will critique every thing they say. And call them out on the simplest details that are easy to just look up or take a quick rewatch.

No lol. Myers walked like that in the second one because it was a different actor who moved totally different, and who was also much smaller.

[@yellowsnowman9157]

Having 2 as an extension of the 1st night is literally perfect. That's what makes this movie

[@mordaciousfilms]

The intro is pure art. I literally get a rush when he says "you don't know what death is" and then the theme kicks in... Like DAMN! That's the stuff these sorta movies are made of - moments. It's the best because it's tonally the most similar to the first one, but just MORE of it. It slightly elevates the stakes, it's a bit MORE exaggerated but still fairly grounded. I love the score, too. The added synth textures but basically the same themes...

[@wadewilson8011]

Halloween II is a gem because it didn't have M0R0NS like Rob Zombie and David Gordon Green at the helm of directions "reimagining" their crap. Who cares if the setting, visuals, or lighting is outdated.🙄 It's a masterpiece of a sequel. A true example of "if it's not broken don't fix it." And Jamie (Laurie) being incapacitated makes sense. Because SHE'S INJURED you nitwits. She fell over a flight of stairs, which probably broke her ankle. She was slice down her arm with a butcher knife. She had to fight off a being that's driven by supernatural strength. And when she's finally rescued her adrenaline has obviously worn off. If you know ANYTHING about how the human body works, anytime adrenaline wears off, you feel like you've been in a 10 round boxing match. And when she gets to the hospital, she's put to sleep (DRUGGED). And you idiots expect her to just run around the entire movie being the heroine?! 🤦🏽‍♂️ Every time I hear a clown cry, "she just laid in bed the whole movie." WELL YEAH, she's basically the "damsel in destress" and incapacitated. Dr. Loomis is the hero, the protagonist set out to hunt Michael. What sub brain particles are you not using to understand that? It wasn't a mistake, clown, it made sense to do that. You know even Michael was moving a bit slower, because he was SHOT 6 TIMES. And there's only one unstoppable force per movie. So everyone else SHOULD react and recover like a normal human being does.

[@tgriffin3059]

Well said. In fact, I think 2 wound up being the greatest outing from Pleasance...he gave as strong of a performance as anyone ever has in a horror film...And any criticism of the visual appearance, lighting, etc...strikes me as bizarre...Halloween 2 is a beautifully crafted film. The long dark corridors, the occasional splash of color, the room with the aquarium....it's a visually striking movie, from start to finish...

[@thomasffrench3639]

Maybe if all she was going to do is lay in a bed, they may as well just not make a movie. This is a pointless sequel, and ruins the ending of the original. There, does that solve why people complain about it? And if it ain’t broke, why did they not make it as good?

[@Blast2224]

I will admit the scene of Michael simply walking through the glass doors with little reaction is a scary sight. His stalking at the beginning of the movie was also stressful; even though the old couple lives, Michael could have easily killed them along with the teenager. Blumhouse went back and redid this not once in 2018 (hammer in the kitchen), but also murdering an elderly couple in Kills in the cruelest way possible.

[@rudyrosasjl]

That's because the spirit of Samhain took over his body after being shot 6 times by Loomis.

Halloween 1 with the extended tv scenes is really great. This sequel is the only one worth the price of admission. Being an extension of the original was a nice way to end it.

I love Halloween 2 because fits in with the first one

1. Halloween (1978) 2. Halloween 4 3. Halloween 2 (1981)

The sibling connection actually fixes plotholes in the first film. It makes it easier to understand why he didn't just go after Laurie instead of Annie. Like maybe he wasn't sure what he was going to do. Maybe he hadn't made up his mind yet. He never goes after until she interrupts whatever he's doing across the street. Had she not gone there, he may have never even gone after her.

[@scottwarnick5126]

Except they where never meant to be siblings at all

[@davidjeffreys6646]

@scottwarnick5126 yeah but then the director goes back and adds footage to the original saying they are. Darth Vader wasn't intended to be Luke's father in Star Wars. These are stories and once you add to that story, it becomes part of that story as a whole.

[@scottwarnick5126]

@@davidjeffreys6646 there was never meant to be a sequel to the original film that's why they added the sibling connection on to the TV version film. They where never meant to be siblings at all that's why the newest timeline erases the sibling connection because in that original film only they here never mentioned that they are family

I have always loved this movie! It was perfect in my opinion because it picked up exactly where the Original 1978 Halloween ended. Then the srtting, Haddonfield Hospital, was awesome, too! However, there was a time, back in the mid 80s all the way up to around the mid 90s, where Halloween 2 was actually... hated. It was panned by critics. Fans of Halloween were also not very happy with it. They were upset that Laurie Strode had almost no lines and her csreen time was mostly limited to her laying down in a hospital bed, or waiting for someone else to save her. But as time went on, people began to realize that this movie was so much more than just a "money grab" sequel... I have seen a few videos on why this movie is now a beloved classic, and the overwhelming majority of fans agree! Its one of the best sequels ever!

I love halloween 2 especially the beginning. Great movie. Warlock walked great too

[@theshape3431]

Warlock literally had the worst Myers walk. Well probably second worst to Durand. Those 2 did not have the movements down at all

[@TheRealMichaelMyers1978]

@@theshape3431 warlock was just a little more robotic and still, which is what john carpenter always wanted. Chris durands was a little more of a normal human walk but determined i dont think their bad. Halloween 6 had to have the worst walk cuz myers was heavyset and had a bit of a waddle in his step which was funny

[@jesterskully563]

It is weird that both this and Kills have Lori incapacitated for most of both films. I liked that the new trilogy erases the siblings connection. Carpenter came up with that because he had writer’s block and borrowed the family concept from The Empire Strikes Back.

[@Linklex7]

Yeah but none of those new movies topped part 2 thought. Ends came the closest

[@ItsaKindOfMagic86]

The sibling connection doesnt bother me, it got us the character Jamie Lloyd, who I prefer as final girl over Laurie. If only they had better script for H5 though Do not like the new trilogy, I am not a fan of retcons, especially when the sibling plot line has been part of the series for like 40 plus years.

Best sequel and perfect ending to the series.

One of my all time favorites 😍 I think 1 and 2 should just be smashed together

[@jamess.3013]

Halloween is my favorite horror franchise and always has been since I was a kid. It took me until my late teens to see Halloween II though. For some reason it seemed like it was never on TV like 1 and 3-5 or H20.

[@davidwhite206]

For me, it is the images of watching Michael stalk through the hallways and corridors of a mostly isolated hospital picking off nurses and the like while trying to get to Laurie. The sister reveal is kind of meh, but the rest of it I love! Especially the soundtrack.
