Opening Remarks: I wasn't a fan of the Halloween series, but I
had seen the first film many years ago on television. I decided
to buy this DVD partly because it was only $9.96 and partly
because I wanted to see it.
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Movie Quality: Quite frankly, Halloween II is awesome! This is
one of the scariest films I have ever seen. This movie is much
better than Halloween: H20, which I saw after I saw this film.
Anyways, this film picks up immediately after the first film
ended. This is an excellent idea that is rarely utilized.
Anyways, Michael Myers is still trying to kill Laurie Strode. We
find out why in this film. Anyways, this is one of the scariest
films that I have seen without being overly gory. It's just a
blast!

*****************************************************************************
Video Quality: This disc looks awesome! The film is presented in
all of it's 2.35:1 Widescreen glory. The video is super crisp and
clear and it just plain looks awesome!
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Sound Quality: The sound has been remixed in Dolby Pro-Logic
Surround and it sounds great. You will be scared on certain
occasions because of the rear sounds. This disc just sounds
awesome.
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Extras: The only extras on this disc are subtitles and Production
Notes. There are English, Spanish, and French Subtitles. The
production notes are like 4 pages long and are pretty cool to
read.

*****************************************************************************
Improve: More extras.
RIYL: Other Halloween films.(I have only seen Halloween,
Halloween II, & Halloween:H20)
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Overall Opinion: This disc is worth a whole lot more than the $10
asking price. This is a great disc with one of the best looking
transfers and a great soundtrack. Just buy this disc!
