He became an obsession with me, until I realized there was nothing within him, neither conscience nor reason, that was even remotely human. An hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him and then he just got up and walked away. I am talking about the real possibility that he is still out there!''"

''Halloween II'' -- the first sequel in the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series, released in 1981 -- picks up directly after the events of [[Film/{{Halloween1978}} the first film]].

to:

''Halloween II'' -- is the first sequel in the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series, written and produced by Creator/JohnCarpenter and Debra Hill, directed by Rick Rosenthal, and released in 1981 -- 1981. It picks up directly after the events of [[Film/{{Halloween1978}} the first film]].



Producer/co-writer Creator/JohnCarpenter intended this film to mark the end of the Michael Myers story, and [[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch the next film]] in the franchise did something completely different altogether. Two of the ''Halloween'' sequels pick up after the events of this film: ''Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' serves as a direct sequel to the events of this film with a new protagonist, while ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'' ignores ''Halloween 4'' (and its two sequels) to continue the story of Laurie Strode.

After having shot escaped killer Michael Myers six times, Dr. Loomis believes he has saved high school student Laurie Strode, who has survived the violent rampage of the psychopath that tried to kill her. Loomis heads out of the house to find nothing on the ground but an empty spot, leading him to believe that Michael lived through the gunshots. While paramedics take Laurie to the local hospital to recover, Haddonfield police and Dr. Loomis search for Michael, unaware that he has learned of Laurie's location -- and that he has a hidden reason for wanting to kill Laurie...
