IMPRINT COLLECTION #476 – From the mind of John Carpenter, the sequel to cultural phenomenon Halloween is packed with thrills and gore galore.
Scanned in 4K from the original camera negative, experience every bloodcurdling scream in UHD with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. PLUS, the fan-favourite Television Cut has been upscaled to high-definition Blu-ray. Packed with extended and alternate scenes, the Television Cut is Halloween II through a uniquely different lens, and a must-watch in HD for Michael Myers completionists.
Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they thought had been left for dead in the first film. It seems the inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the Haddonfield hospital. As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath’s actions.
