Set directly after the events of the first film, Rick Rosenthal’s sequel sets itself up as the slasher equivalent of \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eTHE\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eEMPIRE\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eSTRIKES\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eBACK\u003c\/span\u003e, making a family connection between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers while getting some good kills in at the same time. Carpenter and Howarth’s score is beefier and more intense than before, using layers of electronics to drive the audience to madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs before, Myers aka “The Shape” is propelled by that theme, souped up with a new and more powerful arrangement from Carpenter and Howarth. \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eHALLOWEEN\u003c\/span\u003e II is more overtly synth and is perhaps less focused than the original score, although that certainly means it’s nastier and more schizophrenic. The score also brings back the evocative ’Laurie’s Theme’, incorporating into a score full of harrowing musical effect, its synthesised howls and wails piercing your ears so that by the time ‘Mr. Sandman’ comes around, you’ll feel just like the final girl, delirious at having survived the aural ordeal. And that’s just when The Shape wakes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on Black Eco Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtwork by Paul Mann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic to the 1981 film directed by Rick Rosenthal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n DW007R -Artist-John Carpenter \u0026amp; Alan Howarth\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP COLOR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/18\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Carpenter \u0026 Alan Howarth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427958087864,"sku":"NSET15-DYU0-XH","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/john-carpenter-alan-howarth-halloween-2_lfadB.jpg?v=1777677710","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/john-carpenter-alan-howarth-halloween-2","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
