What critics compared Halloween II to
There’s a nice nod (that unfortunately goes nowhere) to Erle C. Kenton’s The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and Halloween costumes drawn from Jim Sharman’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).
Having Laurie and new gal pals Mya (Brea Grant) and Harley (Angela Trimbur) attend a "Phantom Jam" party dressed as personalities from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is a neat, inventive touch.
(Spencer speaks from experience; her character doesn’t make it out of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II alive.)
But it’s only fairly recently that the horror genre has tackled what it means to survive a harrowing experience and what it does to those in the aftermath with movies like “Last Girl Standing” or Rob Zombie’s “Halloween II.”
