HALLOWEEN II 1981 VERSION MY OPINION & SPOILERS AND ROB ZOMBIE

This film to me completes the first film.  I love the first one but I also love this film as well.   Now technically speaking "Halloween II" should of been the end of the "Halloween" & Michael Myers.

The reason why the  "Halloween" films should have ended here is because it was disclosed that in this film that Michael was stalking Jamie Lee Curtis because she was his sister. That was the last great moment in the entire franchise!

 I didn't mind this new angle on Michael and Laurie.  However now that we learn that Michael only goes after siblings it made making anymore movies without Jamie Lee Curtis problematic. Besides at the end of this film Michael & Dr Loomis die in a huge fire!  However that was changed of course for later sequels.

When John Carpenter and Debra Hill still had control over the "Halloween" films  we got in 1982  the Micheal Myers-less Sequel "Halloween III" which was good but fans wanted to see Michael Myers and 6 years later he came back but this time he went after his niece.    In future installments he went after distant relatives.  Later Jamie Lee Curtis returned for "Halloween H20" and a cameo for "Halloween Resurrection"

When I herd they were remaking "Halloween" I thought great this time they will make Myers attack anyone for any reason .  Well Rob Zombie fucked up.  HE copied the errors that the original producers did.  He made Michael attack family.   Then again whoever thought it was a good idea to have Rob Zombie do a remake should of been shot anyway.

Now the longest dry spell we had between "Halloween" films is 6 years.  It was 6 years between "Halloween III" and "Halloween Iv".   It was 6 years between "Halloween v" and "Halloween VI".   This year will mark the 5th year without a  new "Halloween" film however there is rumblings that a new "Halloween" film is coming in 2015.  Funny it will be 6 years since the last "Halloween" film.


UPDATE  IN OCTOBER OF 2019 JOHN CARPENTER AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS RETURN TO THE FILM FRANCHISE  THAT MADE THEM LEGENDS. 

IT IS SAID TO BE IGNORING ALL THE SEQUELS AND THE ROB ZOMBIE SHITSHOWS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FILM!
