Not a terrible flick if it were not a Halloween movie, but it is not even close to being as good as the original Halloween.

thought Halloween 2 closed out the first one well.


I really liked Halloween II. Might have been mesmerized by the nice pair we got to see.

I remember some kid had the book, so I read the book before I actually saw the movie.

I don't see how anyone could have been shocked by the lack of Michael Myers. He certainly wasn't in any of the trailers.

Once again, in slasher films, there wasn't a precedent for a unkillable human being.

Friday the 13th had just introduced Jason and until Halloween IV it wasn't a given that the bad guy was the energizer bunny.

Eh, by the end of the second, he had gotten shot what, 18 times or so, twice in the head, and was still walking after being exploded?

You should have had a pretty good idea

Well, if you try and stay away from trailers as to not ruin the movie, could you see how that movie might have been a pretty big let down?

Out of all the movies in the Halloween series. Halloween III is the only one that takes place on Halloween. Therefore I give it props.

My bad, meant to say it has a Halloween theme. I'm surprised no one gives it shite for being called season of the witch, when there is not one damn witch in it. The Halloween series was supposed to turn into an athology after the second movie. Would of been that way to if there wasn't extreme backlash from the fans.

III is a fun movie

IV is the only sequel that recaptured the creepiness of the first, including II

I really wish it would've went the anthology route. The fans got this one wrong.

We only got about 90 seconds into Part II before Dr. Loomis was screaming "I shot him 6 times!! He's not huuuummaaaannnn!!" to the entire neighborhood.

Exactly. It's ridiculous.

I do like the movie, but the premise is pretty stupid. This sums it up pretty well IMO:
