'Halloween II' - Full Vinyl Soundtrack by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth

[@atrocchia]

I remember seeing Halloween (1978) when NBC aired it on a Friday night in 1981. Two days later, I saw Halloween II in the movie theater. I was 11 y/o, scared as hell, and had a memorable Halloween weekend!

[@holden6104]

Carpenter went crazy on the synths on this one. Much more electronic feel than the original, similar to Halloween 3.

[@boingokky]

It's actually Alan Howarth

[@goldenserenity2385]

Even a lot of the top pop tunes of that time were adding in those sounds. They haven't aged well lol, but still fit the movie IMO

[@cheath8705]

I like it. Makes life interesting with varieties.

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@boingokky John worked with Alan on the second and third Halloween films, after that it was just Alan on H4 and H5. Then different composers came and went until John Carpenter came back for Halloween 2018.

Always loved this particular "Halloween" theme song better than the rest.

[@dead0ntime]

That theme is so 80’s I love it. Great reimagining of the Halloween theme. I might like the sequel theme better than the original because I’m a sucker for synth music

[@JaymeSplendid]

What are you talking about? Everyone knows that Halloween was created by Rob Zombie in the early 2000's and that The Highlander was a documentary, and events happened in real time!

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@JaymeSplendid Zombie created Halloween? Halloween was written and directed by Debra Hill and John Carpenter…or are you being sarcastic?

[@robkearsy2995]

This is my favorite score of the franchise the new doesn't even acknowledge Halloween II.

[@whdstudios2441]

@Rob Kearsy Halloween (2018) Is supposed to pick up 40 Years Later from the original Halloween (1978). John Carpenter's Halloween. Halloween II (1981) is the movie that started this whole Michael Myers in family relations with Laurie Strode BS, The origin of Halloween is Michael going after his victims. Everything after Halloween II (1981) was an honest mistake as they made Jamie the niece of Michael Myers and The Strode Family a cursed victim. There was a reason why Halloween II (1981) WAS ignored in the Halloween (2018) film. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3LOnnpji62ShZY

[@punkem733]

Because this one made them siblings. They should have never been related, they were close to having it be apart of the timeline, but that siblings angle is what made them cut it out. Also H2018 isn't my fav of the franchise, but it had tied with nick castle the best myers JJC did a PHENOMENAL job, best mask with H1978, and the best score by far.

[@access_virus]

H2018 was complete trash they should have ended it with 81 thats it

[@Jdogg1976]

@@access_virus I wouldn’t say H2018 was complete trash and I am looking forward to Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends but I do prefer Halloween 2. It was a fantastic sequel.👍🏻

[@jasonmaclean719]

Halloween 2 always terrified me as a child, far more than the first. A dark hospital with no one in it, and a soundtrack like a twisted fairy tale theme.

The intro to this soundtrack is by far the coolest in the Halloween series....hands down. That goes for the H2 movie intro as well, Loomis' horror that the patient he knew as human had survived 6 shots, then leading into the Title and jack o lantern. 🎃

[@FuzzyDan]

Halloween, Halloween II and Halloween IV all have their own takes on the basic theme and are all fantastic albums. They're also the only three movies I think make the best contained story theme (Evil cannot die. It will always return someway - Michael to Jamie).

[@valerycharles6007]

don't give the plot ! but I agree with you : a good trilogy, but what is great with Halloween, is that you can create the time line you want 1-2018, 1-2-4-5-6, 1-H20, 1-2-4, 1-H20-8, 1-2018-kills, etc, etc.

@@valerycharles6007 Yeah, the Halloween Multiverse is more complex than the MCU at this point, and it all depends on which movies you watch.

I love the vinyl pattern a lottt, that dark red looks like the pool of blood Jimmy slips on in II and the yellow and green almost looks like whatever Michael "bled" in Halloween 6. And then there's the blue of Michael's jumpsuit separating the 2. Probably not, but fun to think about

Nagaoka is the TRUTH!!!

[@jamiejackson3903]

Adding the family connection (Myers and Strode) was probably influenced by Empire Strikes Back which hit theaters a year before and was arguably the best element of the Star Wars trilogy. The revelation that the hero protagonist was created by the villain antagonist was exactly why the series was raised to another level of cinematic storytelling. Turning Michael Myer's motivation from senseless random murder to a family vendetta had a similar impact and created a more intriguing mystery overall. What happened in the that Myer's household that would create a killer and one who would seek out to eviscerate all of its members? Not sure if he ever killed his parents though. Very mysterious . . .

[@TheHaddonfieldRegistry]

The Halloween sequels weren't really held in any high regard by the public or critics until H20, and then again with H18. And only with those two films really. And judging by the box office for the new sequels compared to Halloween II, I'd say the family angle was holding the franchise back this whole time.

[@analogcrunch4716]

Hello Yeah no we are ready for a lil of the ol demolition

[@markdillon5494]

Hmm the main theme here doesn't sound right. The synth sound is supposed to sound like an organ, but it sounds altered here. Its different compared to the other uploaded versions.

[@apatia29]

Mark Dillon yes, sounds different, the “organ” section was removed from the main title, don’t know why they did that. They also used a more polished version of mr. Sandman.

[@MrGIJuu]

The original death waltz pressing of part II and III are superior. Especially II, the sound and artwork blow away this reissue in my opinion.
