Connections Edited from Halloween Soundtracks Mr. User reviews Review. Top review. This is only the beginning!!! This is one of the best sequels to a movie that I have ever seen.

What you see at the beginning is the actual end of Halloween, then when Dr. Picking up where 's Halloween ended, and then jumping ahead one year, Halloween II follows Laurie Strode as she deals with the aftermath of the previous year's events, Dr.

It is Christmastime and Deborah gives her son a white toy horse. Michael seems more responsive than usual and she even manages to get a smile out of him. Around fifteen years later, Laurie Strode is walking down the streets of Haddonfield , Illinois. She is covered head to toe in blood and is carrying a.

She has only narrowly survived a violent encounter with her older, psychotic brother Michael Myers and is in a hysterical state. She survived by shooting Michael in the face at point-blank range.

Sheriff Lee Brackett comes upon her and coaxes the gun out of Laurie's hand. She is then taken to Haddonfield General Hospital. At the scene of Laurie and Michael's initial encounter with one another, police officers and coroners secure the area and the seemingly dead Michael Myers is loaded into an ambulance bound for the coroner's office. Coroner Hooks and his partner Gary Scott drive off with Michael's body.

As they drive, Scott entertains Hooks by making lewd comments about what it would be like to have sex with a corpse. Hooks tries to change the subject, but the imagery distracts him enough that he fails to see a cow crossing the road. The ambulance slams into the animal then crashes into a tree. Hooks is killed instantly and Gary Scott is in a terrible state. Myers awakens and exits the back of the vehicle.

Picking up a shard of broken glass, he approaches the injured Scott and cuts his head off with the glass. He then begins walking down the highway. In his mind's eye, he sees the image of his late mother standing next to a large, white horse.

Sometime later, Laurie awakens in the hospital. Her leg is in a fracture boot and she has numerous cuts and lacerations across her body. She struggles to get out of bed and goes into an adjacent room where her friend Annie Brackett is recovering. Nurse Daniels enters the room and tells Laurie that she should not be out of bed.

Laurie wants to stay with Annie, but Nurse Daniels will not let her stay and begins walking her back to her own room. She gets called away however and Laurie is left by herself. Laurie begins complaining about a headache and calls for Nurse Daniels. When the woman returns however, she has a wicked slice across the front of her face and blood begins pouring out of her. Michael Myers appears behind her and Laurie begins screaming.

She runs out of the room and stumbles into the stairs, where she finds a corpse. Michael then viciously murders Daniels, stabbing her in the back almost a dozen times and finally stabs her in the back of her head as she dies. Laurie continues shambling throughout the hospital corridors. She goes down into the basement where she discovers a giant bin filled with dead bodies.

Michael stalks after her, but Laurie manages to make it outside. Running through the rain, she comes to the pillbox shed of a security guard named Buddy.

She hides inside the shed until Buddy finds her. Laurie is screaming incoherently and Buddy tries to calm her down. He gives her some coffee and tells her that he will go and get his car. When he returns however, Michael Myers is right behind him and stabs the security guard to death. Laurie screams and begins running. Michael is right behind her. Suddenly, she wakes up. Laurie is in her bed after having woken up screaming. It is October 29, one year after the initial incident. Laurie is living with Sheriff Brackett and his daughter Annie, who likewise survived the wrath of Michael Myers.

Both women still bear the scars of his rampage. Laurie takes some prescription pills and goes downstairs to have breakfast with Annie and Sheriff Brackett. She mentions how she had another nightmare, but does not want to talk about it. After breakfast, Laurie goes to see her psychiatrist, Doctor Barbara Collier.

She cannot get Michael out of her head. Collier reminds her that even though Michael is dead, he still lives on in Laurie's mind. Laurie mentions that she misses her parents, but when Collier asks her about it she wants to change the subject. Laurie also mentions how her friendship with Annie is deteriorating. She says that her scars are a constant reminder that everything is "her fault".

Laurie sees a Rorschach painting in Collier's office. She notes the shapes of two white horses in the center of the print. Meanwhile, Doctor Sam Loomis, having fully recovered from his previous injuries, has now reshaped his personality and his image.

This book details the events of where Myers killed several people, nearly murdering Loomis himself. Sam and his publicist Nancy McDonald attend a press conference and Loomis gripes about the blown up publicity still that McDonald is using to promote the book.

He sends her off to get him some tea before attending the conference. Laurie works there with her new friends Mya Rockwell and Harley David. Harley talks about going out to the Phantom Jam for Halloween night.

At the press conference, several reporters posit some pointedly uncomfortable questions to Sam. They ask him if he feels any personal responsibility for the deaths caused by his failure to help Michael Myers.

One reporter makes the suggestion that Myers may even be alive. Michael Myers is still at large and no less dangerous than ever. After a failed reunion to reach his baby sister at their old home, Laurie Strode is immediately taken to a hospital to be treated by the wounds that had been afflicted by her brother a few hours ago.

However, Michael isn't too far off and will continue his murdering 'Halloween' rampage until he gets his sister all to himself. Family Is Forever. Rated R for strong brutal bloody violence throughout, terror, disturbing graphic images, language, and some crude sexual content and nudity.

Did you know Edit. Trivia John Carpenter was offered a cameo in the film by Rob Zombie , but he turned it down. Goofs at around 7 mins When Coroner Hooks and Gary Scott have a car accident, you can pause a few frames before the crash, and clearly see that a small explosive detonates in-front of the bumper before they hit the cow. Quotes Laurie Strode : [yelling outside her house, drunk] Hey, world! Crazy credits Stills of crime scene photographs of Michael's murders are shown over the credits.

Alternate versions The Director's Cut runs 14 minutes longer minutes. Among the changes: The opening scene with Laurie walking and Loomis being placed into the ambulance is longer. The hospital dream scene has an extra sequence of Laurie attempting to cross over a pile of bodies. More dialogue with Laurie and the psychiatrist. Laurie looks at a framed inkblot on a wall and says that it looks like a white horse. Loomis' press conference is expanded.

Loomis discusses Michael's Oedipal complex, as well as the idea that Michael perhaps saw Loomis as a father figure.

Added sequence where Laurie runs a bath and begins to freak out. Laurie stopping to play with a pig on her way to work is removed. She instead goes to the psychiatrist and tells her about playing with the pig we see a few seconds of it, now in flashback , and how it triggered a nervous breakdown of sorts.

When the shrink denies her more pills, Laurie freaks out and swears. The scene where Annie finds Laurie drinking a beer in her room has been expanded: They have another fight. I love this idea! I know, right? They do a nice homage scene to Halloween that I thought was done very well. I actually think Halloween II is okay.

After that, though, I dunno. It just depends on how much you like slasher movies or how much of a completist you are.

Halloweens and then 8 are just embarrassing. I never could. Friday has the more interesting history of the three and actually more fun to watch as a franchise marathon. More interesting the difderent directions they took and budget constraints as well as film rating board disputes.

Why is there always a bell ringing? Like on the ocean or a river? Idk the reference. Does anybody? You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

They never intended to make a sequel One odd commonality between the three biggest slasher franchises — Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street — is they were never intended to be franchises even though their first films all feature endings which seem designed to set up a sequel.

Poltergeist 3 did it 7 years later? Well, shut my mouth. These scenes include: Dr. But not me. Lynda visiting Laurie at her house before departing to babysit.

Found at Halloweenmovies. Sadly, life imitated art when a murderer claimed to have been influenced by Halloween II Richard Delmer murdered an elderly couple in Fullerton, California on December 7, , stabbing them 43 times. Friday the 13th Part 2 came out the same year and it posted a similar film-to-sequel fall-off.

So, no one was expecting another history-setting performance from Halloween II. All they really wanted was extreme profitability which they got and maybe some bragging rights by making more than any other horror movie that year which is exactly what happened. Something in-between?
