Halloween II (2009)

Nov 17, 06:45 AM

The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective returns to finish off Rob Zombie’s Halloween duology with Halloween II (2009).

Family is forever.

On tonight’s episode we return to Rob Zombie’s Haddonfield where we get a front row seat inside the mind of Michael Myers; a mind filled with white horses, flashbacks, and more David Lynchian imagery than an episode of Twin Peaks. It’s Halloween II…again.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to drink the Halloween II kool-aid are fellow cinephiles and Rabbit in Red Lounge regulars, Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Halloween II is a gorier, yet somehow less disgusting sequel (at least as far as the white trash element is concerned); we breakdown the differences between the Theatrical slash job (no pun intended) and the Unrated Director’s Cut; and finally, Sam Loomis morphs from a man who wanted to protect the world from Evil into an asshole who only cares about the benjamins and how good he looks on TV.

And so concludes our trip into the mad mind of Rob Zombie. The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective will return with an all new reboot as we tackle the final(?) leg of our journey through Haddonfield with David Gordon Green’s Halloween. See you then, kiddies!
