Halloween II is a 1981 horror film and the second installment in the Halloween series. The film was directed by Rick Rosenthal, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, and is a direct sequel to the first film. Set on the same night of Halloween 1978, in the fictional American Midwestern town of Haddonfield, the seemingly unkillable Michael Myers follows his intended victim Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to a nearby hospital while Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is still in pursuit of his patient.
