Halloween II (1981)

Halloween II

FAQ



    Not likely. Hunt mentions to Loomis that he remembers that night, but he would have likely mentioned that he was Judith's boyfriend and had left her moments before Michael killed her.



    Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is rushed to the hospital after being attacked by Michael Myers, an escaped psychopath who killed his sister 15 years ago. Both Myers' psychiatrist, Dr Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), and the Haddonfield police department are searching for him. Unfortunately, Myers has followed Laurie to the hospital in order to finish what he started.



    Halloween II is the sequel to Halloween (1978), which was based on a script by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Carpenter and Hill also wrote the screenplay for Halloween 2. It was followed by Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) (which is not part of the storyline), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), and Halloween: Resurrection (2002).



    The TV version contains more than 20 minutes of alternate or new scenes, further scenes have been removed from the theatrical version. Unfortunately, the image of the TV version is cropped (original aspect ratio being 2.35:1, whereas the TV version being fullframe). Easy to recognize and some scenes are cut very badly. All gore scenes are censored so that there isn't much of it left. The comparison has been made with a recording from AMC when the TV version aired one of the last times before the master has been replaced by a DVD master with the theatrical version.



    Even though the movie was shown uncensored in theatres, the early home video releases are slightly censored. Those cuts were waived for the latest DVD editions.
