Proving John Carpenter's maxim that "You can't kill the boogeyman", this second installment in the Halloween series picks up exactly from where the original movie ended. It is still Halloween night 1978, and despite Dr. Loomis' best efforts, Michael Myers (a.k.a. The Shape) is still at large in the sleepy town of Haddonfield - Illinois. Having failed to kill Laurie Strodes (Jamie Lee Curtis) the seemingly indestructable Myers pursues her to the Haddonfield Clinic, where she has been sent to recover from her injuries.

Michael then continues his murderous spree until he finally confronts Laurie and we learn the horrifying truth behind his motives. First time director Rick Rosenthal seriously ups the gore and body-count (with some help from John Carpenter) in this taut 1981 sequel that was scripted and produced by Carpenter and Debra Hill. Originally intended to be the final and concluding part of the series, fans know that this was just the beginning! Enjoy more of the night he came home...
