257. Halloween II with special guest Gabe Munoz

"He was my patient for fifteen years. He became an obsession with me until I realized that there was nothing within him, neither conscious nor reason that was... even remotely human." We watched "Halloween II" with our friend Gabe Munoz and we'll be right back after we x-ray our entire candy haul. This movie wastes no time and picks up mere moments after Dr. Loomis (a frenzied Donald Pleasence) unloads 6 rounds into Michael Meyers at the end of the 1978 original. With all of our characters either unalived by Michael or under sedation in the emergency room, we get a whole new cast of Haddonfield residents to get picked off by "the shape". Is it to this movies detriment that OG Final Girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is in a hospital bed most of the movie? Maybe. Is her wig an even worse offence? Definitely. Original director John Carpenter may not have returned to helm this one, but he penned the script along with then wife and collaborator Debra Hill so the "bones" of the story and characters are there (spooky pun intended), but can Laurie's minimal screen time and Dr. Loomis frantic delivery save this one? The "Halloween" franchise has had its ups and downs but this kooky entry is a lot of fun and definitely worth the watch.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
