The use of the hi-low parts of the sound spectrum makes this a thrilling listening experience. The clicking sound in “The Shape Stalks Again” makes it feel like a bomb (Michael Myers) is going to detonate by song’s end. “Michael’s Sister” uses the theme from the first film with the upper register to highlight the counterpoint meaning. This high sound, which sounds like steam billowing out of a boiler, is carried out even further in “Flats in the Parking Lot.” Alves” is more low-key, though an incredible penetrating frequency of notes will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This is the scene where Michael stabs the scalpel into Laurie’s pillow (she is of course not there). The low drone mid-way in that is jointed with the whispering high-pitch sound is creepy.ĭeep-seated drums hit while “The Shape Enters Laurie’s Room.” The shrilly keyboard notes make the track ultra-suspenseful. This music gives the sensation that the water is burning-hot. For me, there’s some real fascinating score moments like where MM forces Karen (Paula Susan Shoop) into the boiling Jacuzzi. “Still He Kills” is 4 ½ minutes of the stingers that back Michael Myers psychopathic rampage. Though it’s certainly melodic, the high-airy notes create cinematic anxiety and the clang of metal during the moments the main theme stop, amplifies this. The flute tone in “Laurie and Jimmy” makes it probably the most underrated cue on this soundtrack. The way the Halloween theme travels through a tunnel-like effect is a great choice in “He Knows Where She Is.”

I think it’s absolutely sensational that Alan Howarth has put together this Limited Edition CD (1000 units), because he’s giving us a chance to hear the complete score for Halloween II.Īlan Howarth’s involvement with John Carpenter is felt right from the get-go, as his talent with audio opens up the “Halloween II Theme.” A huge, deep sounding organ broadens the original Halloween motif and the composers add synchronized keyboard lines, layer upon layer to construct an awesome sound that represents “more of the night he came home.”
