Grab the sheriff, find Dr. Loomis, and pile into the ambulance — we're checking into Haddonfield Memorial Hospital!
This week, Art and Erik explore every dark corridor of one of horror cinema's most understaffed healthcare facilities as they break down Halloween II (1981) — the bloody, immediate follow-up to one of the most successful and influential horror films of all time.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance return to pick up literally minutes after the events of the original, as Michael Myers continues his relentless rampage through Haddonfield. We'll talk hospital hijinks, Carpenter's reluctant return, Rick Rosenthal's direction, wig-watching with Laurie Strode, and how this sequel cranks up the gore for the slasher-craze era.
So lock the doors, dim the lights, and keep an eye on that heart monitor — Evil is still alive… and we're going scene by scene through every surgical scare and shadowy hallway.
