Halloween II (1981 film)
Halloween II is a 1981 American slasher film directed by Rick Rosenthal in his directorial debut, written and produced by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, and starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence who reprise their respective roles as Laurie Strode and Dr. Sam Loomis.
It is the second installment in the" Halloween" film series and originally served as a direct sequel to" Halloween"( 1978) until it was retconned by the 2018 film.
The plot picks up directly after the first film, with Michael Myers following survivor Laurie Strode to the local hospital, while his psychiatrist Dr. Loomis continues his pursuit of him.
Though Carpenter and Hill co-wrote the screenplay to the sequel, Carpenter was reluctant to extend his involvement and refused to direct, instead appointing the direction to Rosenthal.
Stylistically," Halloween II" reproduces certain key elements that made the original" Halloween" a success, such as first- person camera perspectives, and the film picks up right at the end of the cliffhanger ending of the original film and was intended to finish the story of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
It also introduces the plot twist of Laurie Strode being the sister of Michael Myers, a feature that would inform the narrative arc of the series in subsequent films.
Filming took place in the spring of 1981, primarily at Morningside Hospital in Los Angeles, California, on a budget of$ 2.5 million.
" Halloween II" was distributed by Universal Pictures, and premiered in the United States on October 30, 1981.
The film was a box office success, grossing over$ 25 million domestically, though it received mixed reviews, with praise for its performances and atmosphere, but drew significant attention from film critics who criticized its overt violence and gore comparative to the original film.
Originally," Halloween II" was intended to be the last chapter of the" Halloween" series to revolve around Michael Myers and the town of Haddonfield, but after the lackluster reaction to( 1982), Michael Myers was brought back six years later in( 1988).

Despite its title, the film is not a remake of the 1981 film of the same name and follows an original premise.
Picking up where the 2007 film ended and then jumping ahead one year," Halloween II" follows Laurie Strode as she deals with the aftermath of the previous film's events, Dr. Loomis who is trying to capitalize on those events by publishing a new book that chronicles everything that happened, and Michael Myers as he continues his search for Laurie so that he can reunite with his sister.
The film sees the return of lead cast members from the 2007 film Malcolm McDowell, Scout Taylor- Compton, and Tyler Mane, who portray Dr. Loomis, Laurie Strode, and Michael Myers, respectively.
For" Halloween II", Zombie decided to focus more on the connection between Laurie and Michael, and the idea that they share similar psychological problems.
Zombie wanted the sequel to be more realistic and violent than its 2007 predecessor.
For the characters of" Halloween II", it is about change.
Zombie wanted to look at how the events of the first film affected the characters.
Zombie also wanted to provide a glimpse into each character's psyche.
Filming primarily took place in Georgia, which provided Zombie with a tax incentive as well as the visual look the director was going for with the film.
When it came time to provide a musical score, Zombie had trouble finding a place to include John Carpenter's original" Halloween" theme music.
Although Carpenter's theme was used throughout Zombie's remake, the theme was only included in the final shot of this film.
" Halloween II" was officially released on August 28, 2009 in North America, and was met with a negative reception from critics.
On October 30, 2009 it was re-released in North America to coincide with the Halloween holiday weekend.
