WHY DID JOHN CARPENTER HATE HALLOWEEN II? (The Halloween Franchise Part 2)

Part 2 of the Halloween franchise retrospective. In 1984, John Carpenter publicly expressed his feelings on Director Rick Rosenthal’s 1981 sequel to his own classic movie, declaring it to be ‘An Abomination and a Horrible Movie.” Over the years, John Carpenter has never had any time for Halloween II, a movie generally regarded as one of the best movies in the franchise, and one of the best slashers of all time.
Therefore, we’re trying to answer the question: Why did John Carpenter dislike Halloween II? And does it still stand up as a sequel to one of the greatest horror movies of all time?
