Ten years after his original massacre Michael Myers escapes while being transferred to a new Hospital and returns back to Haddonfield to go after his only living relative, nine-year-old neice Danielle Harris.

On his trail again is Loomis (Donald Pleasence) while Myers slaughters anyone in the way and it leads up to a seige in the sheriff's house while a lynch mob runs around wreaking havoc.

Of all the sequels this is probably one of the best ones because it has some decent suspense, manages a couple of cool deaths and is entertaining. Plus it uses John Carpenter's original score fine (it's never too cloying).

The only real problems are a couple of plot/continuity discrepencies; like when Loomis is thrown through a school door's glass Myers looks like he has blone hair and why nobody in the cab of a pick-up would notice everyone in the back being stabbed and tossed off onto the road. Other than that it's a satisfying sequel.
