Where Part 1 was scary as hell, part 2 combined slapstick black humor and cheesy atmosphere with ultra-gore frights. For the first time, audiences worldwide were treated to a brilliant concoction of humor and horror.

Each is worthy of the award, but there is one, that especially this time of year, October is fondly remembered; Heralding a new icon of terror...Michael Myers.

Each has something to offer but one, perhaps due to the subject and the director, did stand out. Its a unique film in its own right.
