SCREAM FACTORY GIVES 4K UPGRADES TO THE FIRST TWO "HALLOWEEN" SEQUELS WITH THEIR LATEST STEELBOOK RELEASES!

Ugh! Just when you thought you already had the absolute best copies of HALLOWEEN II and HALLOWEEN III in your collection, Scream Factory bursts your bubble with their latest duo of Limited Edition Steelbooks! All of the extras have been ported over from the standard editions we all already own, but now each disc comes with great new cover art and a BRAND NEW 4K transfer of each film! DAMN YOU SCREAM FACTORY! DAAAAMN YOUUUUU!

HALLOWEEN II (1981)

Synopsis: Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they left for dead in the first film. But the inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the Haddonfield hospital. As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath's actions. Written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween II is a spine-tingling ride into the scariest night of the year ... more of the night "He" came home.

Working with the salesman's daughter, Ellie, Daniel traces the mask to the Silver Shamrock Novelties company and its founder, Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy).
