I don’t consider Halloween II a Carpenter movie, even though he added some reshoots. It’s a Rosenthal movie. That said, I still would not put Halloween II at the same level as The Fog, The Thing, or even Escape from New York, Prince of Darkness or Precinct 13.
its hard for me to do a top 3 as i rate most of john carpenters films as equal
apart from the obvious halloween
they live
the fog
the thing
Halloween
Escape from New York
Assault on Precinct 13
Only 3!!! Ok I would say Halloween and Big trouble in little china and shit…the thing and the fog! only three isn’t fair.
Halloween
Halloween 2
Vampires ( sorry but I liek it)
Dont be sorry man!you cant beat James Woods as a fearless vampire killer!
