Halloween is just around the corner and we aren’t ready to leave Mother Laurie and Daddy Michael just yet. We’re talking hot tubs from hell, negligent hospital employees and family drama for the ages. Happy Halloween II! 🎃🔪
Michael Myers strikes again (and this time he's striking community guidelines!) We've had some trouble behind the scenes with last years previously uploaded Halloween reactions, so we've decided to revamp and reupload these videos just in time for spooky season!

"It's giving Lesley Gore." I cackled.
"You don't know what death is".
One of best lines in cinema history.
Jaime did wear a wig for this film. She said her hair was fried from blow drying and that why she cut it so short and kept it short.
John Carpenter has admitted to being ashamed to coming up with the twist of Michael and Laurie being siblings. He always felt the reason why Michael was so effective in the first movie was because his killings seemed to be random and by giving him a motive, he was suddenly less scary
I could see that happening, but i get almost annoyed when a killer just randomly kills. I don't know why i get so annoyed, maybe because i can't simp over them once they lose that human edge, they don't care about relationships atp
Yeah well carpenter needs to drink more six packs because the sibling storyline actually worked and gave it impact it's a shame he hates it.
@@jdogjohnson382 It makes it less scary then picking a random. Hell in the new trilogy they almost included this one in the canon, but because they were siblings they decided to drop it.
@punkem733 and imo not making them siblings made the new trilogy pointless. Laurie was traumatized and obsessed her whole life and it turned out Michael never even cared about killing her or even really remembered her much. He literally needed to be brought to her house in order for them to come into conflict again. Michael having no desire to get Laurie specifically made it uninteresting to see them fight again. It was completely a one-sided obsession. Obviously the new trilogy has its fans and that's fine but for me H20 was the perfect ending to this franchise. They were siblings, Michael was obsessed with finding her, her paranoia was justified, and their final confrontation was cathartic because each of them had been waiting 20 years for that day to come.
@@kevinmarques7716 Everyone has differing opinions that that's fine. I saw H20 in theaters and loved it. As the years have went on I started hating it. This is something fans have brung up at all the conventions for halloween I go to, that the movie doesn't feel like a halloween movie. It feels like a CW dawson's creek production of halloween. The mask is as shitty as part 4, the alien CGI mask LMAO!!! They tried copying scream when scream was copying the original halloween (no Halloween, no scream) That in itself is fucking retarded, be proud of a popular franchise paying homage to your franchise, don't go copying something that is copying you lol
It's what I liked about H2018, no siblings, he picked someone to fuck with 40 years ago, she got away, for Myers it was out of sight, out of mind. To obsess over her or anything is a human emotion, and dude is not fully human. He was brought to her and he is a killer so he went after her as a person to kill.
That nurse was everything she had everyone in check and was doing her job
You guys are SO FUNNY. Always makes my day watching you.
“We love a woman who fallows the rules”
“Yes and Enforces them”
Loomis's mispronunciation of Samhain never fails to aggravate me lol
"Laurie Strokes" took me out. LOL. Also, that wig was very Leslie Gore!!
I bloody LOVE your commentary…binge watching all your videos!
Not them missing that Laurie and Jimmy already know each other.
Man Halloween 2 (1981) is a masterpiece. John Carpenter is crazy to think this was a bad idea to release a sequel.
PREACH!!! Micheal is a fucking beast in this one!!!
this wasn't a bad idea, but it was a bad idea technically beacuse fans loved michael so much the series now had to revolve around him, and they had to abandon the goosebumps-like stuff they were doing, the only example of this is halloween 3
Wes's "ew" when the dude was standing next to Laurie in the hospital bed lmfaoooo
9:37
Fun fact: the actor to play michael (the shape) in this film is named Dick Warlock. He is a carpenter regular, and has one of the best names ever.
I always liked the brother sister story, makes it more personal for Laurie. Thing I love most about the franchise is that it’s really a choose your own adventure. So many timelines to choose from!! 1,2 & H20 is my favorite!! 😂
It's scarier if he just randomly chose someone. Carpenter said he wised he never did that. Hell the new trilogy they only have the first movie as canon. They wanted to add this one, they came close but said having them siblings is what made them not include it.
@@punkem733 What is scary is subjective. I don't particularly find random killings that interesting in a movie. The dichotomy of the sibling relationship was far more intriguing to me.
@@the_petty_crocker That's fine, not every person likes the same shit. I'm just pointing out how the guy who wrote that hated it, and the majority of fans do to. From talking to hundreds about this at Halloween conventions, they agree that a nutjob picking a random out of the blue is more frightening then him picking a family member. It means the next person could be you or your loved ones, but knowing he is after just his sister makes it less scary as you stay out of his way, he leaves you alone. You also know your loved ones are safe.
I hated the brother-sister story because it makes no sense and is inconsistent with the original movie. There's only a four year age difference between Laurie and Michael, so she would've been two years old when Michael killed his older sister, Judith, in 1963. There's simply no way that no one would know that Laurie was Michael's sister if that was the case. Also, if Michael escaped from Smith's Grove to kill Laurie because she was his sister, why does he spend most of the night stalking Annie, Lynda, and Bob? Again, it makes no sense and it comes off as a tacked-on plot twist.
@@the_petty_crocker The brother and sister connection was never really needed. Michael Myers still works as an emotionless, pure evil force without the sibling connection.
What I love about the Halloween franchise is that it's a 'Sliding doors' situation with 1978's Halloween as the starting off point . This movie is path #1 of what would have happened if we knew why Michael Myers was going after Laurie and what happened right after the showdown at the end of the movie. And I love that the music queues from the first movie are given an early 80s music make over with it being played on synths :)
I love the revelation of Michael & Laurie being siblings, it made him pursuing her more effective/personal than him just randomly being after her. it doesn’t hinder the franchise by them being siblings (others may beg to differ) it kept it alive and more interesting!
I didn't like it. It makes no sense. There's only a four year age difference between Laurie and Michael, so she would've been two years old when Michael killed his older sister, Judith, in 1963. There's simply no way that no one would know that Laurie was Michael's sister if that was the case.

I loved the sibling twist. It works for me in my trilogy (Halloween, Halloween II, and H20).

Loved the hospital setting in the movie Jamie Lee Curtis had to wear a wig for this movie, because she had really short hair
4:19 the way they’re simping over loomis 😭💕
I prefer the original ending, in which a sheeted person rises up on a gurney behind Laurie in the ambulance, startling her, and it turns out to be Jimmy, recovering from a major concussion. She smiles and says "We made it" or something like that.
Don't forget to watch the additional scenes for the TV broadcast of the first Halloween movie that John Carpenter shot while Halloween 2 was being filmed. They kind of add a little more details to Loomis and Michael's past.
The best trilogy that makes sense, even though the original mask or look-alike could not be used in the 4th film, my trilogy has to be Halloween, Halloween ll, and Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers as it makes sense to how it fits. Would of liked it to be simply called Halloween: The Return of Michael Myers, but it aint going to happen, so that's that! Halloween ll is brilliant, even though Carpenter doesn't talk if ever about it.
greetings Petty Pumpkins. I just watched a rare gem in the horror genre and i wanted to recommend it to you. It's called frogs from year 1972. I wont give the plot away but I will only say this. Hot men from the 70's, a very interesting new style of antagonist for a horror film, nasty old money snobs getting their karma served, gorgeous scenery. I hope you two get a chance to see this one in the future.
As an original franchise fan I love them being siblings
I hate the new trilogy so much with Laurie being obsessed with him and thinking he’s after her but her and her friends were literally just random kills to him.

39:15 - And according to the sequels, they both survive that exploding room because f**k it, money talks. 😅
Yes there are a lot of Easter eggs in the new Halloween films that David Gordon Green took from the original Halloween movies. The woman in the pink robe being one of them. Here, she just got her knife stolen. In Halloween 2018, a woman with a pink robe who is making a sandwich gets murdered.
@39:45 This scene actually managed to burn through Myers' flame protection.
I love Halloween II and its a bit underrated, great video too!
theres a version where we see jimmy in ambulance w laurie he lives too
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 I never noticed that she blinked. Very petty pumpkinish of you too notice.
I love these reactions of old movies how people left doors open. I always remembered our doors was always unlocked. Neighbors, family and friends came in and went as they pleased. If they needed to borrow something. It was not till the 90’s anyone started locking doors and windows. There was really nothing ever happening until that time
Halloween 2 (1981) is absolutely and positivity one of the most greatest movies in the franchise as it's such a excellent sequel on so many levels. The concept and theme was more darker, eerie, spooky, frightening, mysterious, thrilling, haunting, suspenseful, and creepier than the original 😰😱 which works perfectly for the movie. It was such a nail-biting and intense rollercoaster thrill ride as it kept you on the edge of your seat. 😰😱 It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old.😍😎👍💯
For me the Sibling Timeline of Halloween 1, 2 and H20 felt like a good trilogy to me. While killing at random can be a good evil thing, killing with purpose felt scarier to me in a way with Micheal. The fact that Lori was the one who got away and his sister felt like this twisted motivation that made sense to a degree. Micheal fixated on her and took down anyone he saw as an obstacle to get in his way. We may not know the whole motivation behind it but i thought it was a good purpose to give weight to the themes of overcoming fear and growing stronger.
When Chey said Michael was about to cook the hot tub nurse like a hot dog, I almost fainted. 😮😂 Nice work, Pumpkins. 💜💜
I grew to hate the Michael and Laurie are siblings twist. I robs Michael of his ambiguity as to why he kills. He's better as a blank slate where we don't know what his motives are.
i always liked the idea of Michael and Laurie being siblings, because i love a good similar-but-opposite parallel between final girl and killer.
my personal headcanon was that Michael’s first kill was his older sister Judith, and therefore his murderous spirit cannot nor will not stop until he has killed his younger sister Laurie.
Now THIS is a proper sequel not one of the trash rebooted trilogy films, the sibling storyline is so much better then some dude chasing after some random girl, it's creepy as hell knowing that the family and life you thought you once had isnt your life at all, imagine growing up with a nice loving family only to find out you come from a family that has a psychotic killer in it who wants to kill you, i prefer this over what they did in the new trilogy, michael chasing after some random woman isnt scary to me.
Exactly! you summed this up perfectly.
You thought Michael was a menace in this movie just wait until you watch the 2018 movie and Halloween Kills he’s a straight up nightmare.
I think they have seen those
@@terogates1 they did?
I liked the sibling angle because it was a reason he was killing, trying to kill his last family member to stop the rage in himself.
Yea, same, having the sibling angle actually gave him purpose and i like when a slasher has actual purpose
It’s so cliche though. Make him a random killer than just kills to kill
@@kirstenrox234i feel like everything is cliche atp, like him eating a dog could be seen as clique
It’s kinda a let down because I find it creepier that he just causes her because he wants to there’s no reason but he doesn’t let anyone who passes by him live
@@ACinemafanaticwell, I don't think he knows killing his sis will stop the rage inside him, ultimately he chases his sister because he wants to. He definitely doesn't know the outcome of killing her
That was good. I like HALLOWEEN II a lot. I grew up with it so it's dear to me. Thanks for the reaction
When you guys said Jill we’re rooting for you it reminded me of Tyra "we were rooting for you we were all rooting for you
27:00 you almost killed me 😂 Love your reactions.
I think the sibling dynamic is what kept this franchise going so long, but the storylines involving Laurie with different offspring are what I feel messed up the franchise a bit. So it's not so much them being brother and sister that is the issue. It's more the various legs the franchise grew over the years just to keep it going. My favorites are 1,2, H20, and 3 Season of the Witch Even Though it has nothing to do with the rest of the series. So Yes ! I love this sequel 😆
Bloody love your reactions. I'm a huge Halloween fan and you both crack me up with your commentary.
Please please please tell me you will do the whole series with the whole 3 dfirrent timelines and the Halloween film WITHOUT MYERS lol. Keep up the great funny Work x your gay from England
He's not big at all. He's like 5'10" lol but makes it that much more amazing that a smaller guy is pulling off these superhuman feats. I was doing security for a movie set of argo overnight at a VA hospital like 12 years ago in the San Fernando Valley in southern cali, and for like a week I'd look around and kept telling myself this place looks familiar. Find out it's the hospital they used for the film at least the outside shots, interiors was two different hospitals. They remodeled it so it's unrecognizable, at least the front double, black door part and ambulance area, but the trash area where the kitten jumps on the guard still looks exactly the same.
Cop that hits the kid wearing the myers mask is the guy playing Michael, who has maybe the greatest name ever in Dick Warlock. The kid he bumps into as the kid plays the radio is his son. Guy the news lady is talking to to get the parent's permission is Dana Carvey first time he was on camera for anything. Yes her hair was a wig. She was doing another movie with a different haircut.
This is my favorite horror sequel, followed by Friday the 13th Part 2 and Psycho II. 🎃🔪🖤
I never liked the twist with Michael and Lorey being related I thought it was more scarier that the only reason Michael was going after lorey in the original movie was just because she went up to his house to put the key under the floor mat it just felt more creepy that way
Too hard on Jimmy! He was a good guy, and him and Laurie know each other. Jimmy said that to Bud when they were in the back of the ambulance with her.
What is so funny about this film is that Micheal is only 5 foot 7 inches. They just use amazing camera work to make him look so damn tall but in reality he is a short dude. I know I have met Dick Warlock a few times in real life.
Not many people know is that Halloween 2 was supposed to be the end to the Myers story it was a Two-parter "Boogeyman" story. Part 3 was about Witches. Every HALLOWEEN they were going to release a DIFFERENT THEMED HORROR but the audience didn't understand the whole idea behind Carpenter and Hill's Anthology Series so when the Myers saga ended and "Season of the Witch" began people were confused about the loss of Micheal which is why part 3 didn't do so well for so long (but now it has become a cult classic & its one of my PERSONAL favourite horror movies) and many years later when the new "Halloween" movie came out Part 4 They decided to resurrect Micheal somehow and the rest is history...
I really hate the sibling connection. What was so chilling about the first film is that we don't know why Michael has fixated on Laurie. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Evil can strike anywhere, even in the heart of an ordinary young boy. When we're the victims of violence, we don't always know our attacker's motivations, nor would it make anything less horrifying. It seems to be random. Giving Michael some kind of motivation takes away from his boogeyman mystique.
And if you look closely, Michael Myers is not portrayed as huge and hulking. He's actually more slender and feline than big and lumbering. He's slipping in and out of the shadows and jumping out of corners... he couldn't do that if he were this giant thug in a mask. This is something I feel subsequent movies get wrong about him. They turn him into a linebacker with a knife and that's really more of a Jason look.
You’d be surprised how quiet someone big can be ( I’ve snuck up on people unintentionally and I’m 6’1)
Lmfao not a kid with a Michael Myers mask walking around with a trick r treat bag and them thinking it was the actual Michael Myers 😂😂😂😂😂
It wouldn't have been the worst disguise, hiding in plain sight, ya know
The costume makes no sense.
MM had just appeared in (t)his outfit for the very first time.
At this point, nobody would have dressed like him.
"Lolligagging"
The reason why lourie couldn’t scream was because how scared she was scared
@31:10 I wear my hospital robes reversed. I figure I can best direct hospital foot traffic that way. :)
As a mayo lover, i am offended by the mayo slander but i'll stay subscribed out of spite so you'll know that every time you post a video, a mayo eater will always be in attendance.
15:06 waiting for y’all to clock her wig.. and then 15:18 🤣
Are you going to rewatch the whole series? The original line of continuity with Dr. Loomis is a lot of fun.
i love this movie !
The Michael and Laurie brother and sister (pump up the volume) twist is horrible. I find it more terrifying that he just chose her randomly and then in part 2 he's on a mission to finish what he started.
I’d love to see you react to “The Fog”, “the Prince of Darkness”, “Raw Head Rex”,
Why would mr stroud worry about the lawn they was at the Wallace house. 😂
Thank you for covering the franchise. I love the original Halloween movies. I hate the new David Gordon Greene films. Anyway, Petty Pumpkins I love your channel and always look forward to your shows. 👻❤😉
Pt 2 USA cult favorite. Love it💯🙌🏼❤️
the constant gasping xD
Big 14 years old Halloween 4 fan film 🎞️
❤❤ 2:15
This is the funniest commentary to Halloween 2..I can't🤣 Also, I thought I was the only one that noticed dead Annie blinking👀
2:30 - Yeah, regarding that movie. I didn't leave screaming, rather left feeling like the movie had a pretty good ending, but its preceding 90% was mediocre.
Loomis is not dead!
Halloween Kills was good. Perhaps for some not as strong as 2018, but it was solid, plus it was good to explore the wider town.
Either a # the characters in these films who don't somewhat notice The Shape out of the corner of their eyes are incredibly/unbelievably dumb or he's got a Supernatural Ability/Edge that/which causes them 2 ignore him however way y'all look at it otherwise they would've at least noticed him out of the corner of their eyes!
The thing is, i walk by a room a thousand times a day that has shadows that look like a person but i always ignore it because if it is someone, they'll sooner attack me if i acknowledge them and i fool myself into safety when i go to my room
John Carpenter later regretted the plot twist making Laurie Strode turn out to be Michael Myers' sister, mostly because it makes no sense. There's only a four year age difference between Laurie and Michael, so she would've been two years old when Michael killed his older sister, Judith, in 1963. There's simply no way that no one would know that Laurie was Michael's sister if that was the case. Also, if Michael escaped from Smith's Grove to kill Laurie because she was his sister, why does he spend most of the night stalking Annie, Lynda, and Bob? Again, it makes no sense and it comes off as a tacked-on plot twist. It was also unnecessary, as Michael needed no ulterior motive for pursuing Laurie in the sequel other than because she was the one who escaped him in the first movie.
I think that Michael Myers killed her friends as to scare her, tramatized her, and set up a trap for her. He is really smart. He knows that the two girls that are Laurie’s friends. I like the plot twist of them being siblings. It makes more sense why he is after her. It doesn’t make sense for it to make it random. He would of killed other people. I find it scary that your own family member is hunting you down to kill you. I be scared if my friends or family wanted me dead than a stranger. That is my thought on it.
@@sheriepeters6485 Nah, you forgot that Laurie wasn't Michael's sister in the first movie. That was a plot twist added into the sequel
Not a fan of the Michael and Laurie sibling twist; it gives more soap opera than horror.
Halloween Kills has a funky soundtrack like this one, it was released two years after the 2018 one but is a direct continuation of the same night like this one, it shows the townspeople more like this one, and Laurie spends the whole time in the hospital like this one.
You know I didn’t realize that till they pointed it out annnnnd now I find it interesting that I like Halloween kills but haven’t liked Halloween 2 that much but it’s the opposite for others, 🤔🤔🤔 I never noticed how similar both are before tho!
@@terogates1 Lol im the same; guilty as charged!! I know the script in Kills is cringetastic, and the whole hospital mob scene was laughably bad, but the kills are great, Big John and Little John are great, I LOVE what they did with the Myers place (even if ol Michael did not) and theres plenty of Halloween imagery. THIS film however, BORING! Catatonic Laurie Strode? No thank you. Endless shots of hospital corridors? medical staff you couldnt give two flying fecks about? I actually kind of hate this movie to be honest. Horror movies should not be this dull.
It was a wig..Jamie Lee wore a wig because she prefers shorter hair ......in real life.
Trowma
I want to go to a hospital and ask for the baby department 😅
Yo, why was the below headline "Run for your life" Lol That basically summarizes the theme of all horror films. Stop doing dumb stuff and run! Run like your life depending on it!
Hate the sibling plot, gives him a motive making him less scary
I hate the way Americans pronounce Samhain, and Im not sure why Loomis talks about an evil spirit and Samhain to Marion, but theres no excuse for a Brit like Loomis to do it. For one thing, Samhain isnt even Irish for Halloween, Its Irish for November, and its pronounced Sow ann, not Sam hain. Oiche Shamhna (pronounced 'eeha how na') is Irish for Halloween night.
Please, please, please react to Halloween: H2O next.
Is this a re upload?! Cause I swear to God this is an old video? 😅
It is! We made a community post a few days ago explaining why if you’re interested! 😊
please watch halloween 4!
You should post Halloween 4 11:28 1988
Me vs Jamie
U 2 funny Lol
Lol i never thought of the gross breathing in the mask. Thats what i hated about Covid; all those filthy masks that people were breathing and coughing into, and discarding everywhere, and touching all the time. They were so disgusting, and the irony was they were for sanitation.
I love Halloween 2 but the twist of Michael being Laurie's brother wasn't needed. I still don't know why Carpenter felt so pressured to give Michael an actual reason for being so obsessed with Laurie. Michael is psychotic. He doesn't really need a reason for doing what he does. He's an evil, insane person. That's it. It still didn't take away my love for it or H20. I just think it being a random creepy obsession works better.
