While I think the general consensus is that the 1981 sequel pales in comparison to the original (outside of that insane Ben Tramer scene, of course), Halloween II really shines with its soundtrack. The duo of Carpenter and Alan Howarth take the original film's iconic sparse piano notes and give them an updated synthesizer reconstruction, creating a deeper, more menacing sound. And the use of The Chordettes' classic Mr. Sandman track adds the prefect unsettling kiss at the end of an exceptional horror soundtrack.

So good! They take what we know, them tell us it is going to get darker. Such great stuff, and still has the ability to transport me back to the 80s and being scared witless. 🎃
Joe, that slow intro still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!! It really is timeless and soooooo good!
