Halloween 2: Did It Actually Understand Michael Myers?

Halloween II picks up on the same night as the original, with Michael Myers still hunting Laurie Strode. But while the sequel continues the story, it also changes Michael. He’s more brutal, harder to kill, and the reveal that Laurie is his sister gives him a clear reason to target her. Did Halloween II truly understand what made Michael so effective in the original, or did it begin turning The Shape into a different kind of horror villain? In this video, I look at what Halloween II gets right, what it changes, and how those choices shaped Michael Myers for the rest of the franchise. #Halloween2 #MichaelMyers #Halloween
