Writers John Carpenter and Debra Hill return to Haddonfield for more scares from the iconic slasher, Michael Myers.

"By the standards of most recent horror films, this - like its predecessor - is a class act." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Halloween II, which opens today all over the country just in time to make you swear off pumpkin pie forever." - Rex Reed, New York Daily News

"It is, after its fashion and in its narrow way, a brilliant film." - Stephen Hunter, The Baltimore Sun

" 'All-New! MORE Of The Night He Came Home,' read the posters, which should give you an idea where this thing was coming from." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia

"An example of a perfect slasher film, heightening the thrills with gratuitous flourishes of sex and violence." - Rob Freese, It Came From Hollywood

Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Hallowwen II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they left for dead in the first film. The inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he talks 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.

Plus a PansyVision short film: Frankenstein Created Pansexuals

Directed by Richard Griffin (Flesh for the Inferno)

Well, we finally did it. We finally broke our host's brain with this week's movie Frankenstein Created Pansexuals from 1981. We didn't even think it was possible until now. And we promise to break you with this one as well. Trust us... you'll love every insane second.

We also have a very special interview with the director of the movie, Martha Appleton. She goes into detail with all the juicy behind the scenes info about the making of this berserk movie.
