Halloween 2 (2009) Director's Cut

Look out for Ghost Mama and avoid death-magnet Laurie Strode because we are talking about Rob Zombie's much maligned Halloween 2 (2009). C/W: the dog dies.

The film has problems, but we're fond of its all-star cast (Brea Grant! Margot Kidder! Nurse Octavia Daniels!), as well as the film's surprisingly nuanced consideration of Final Girl PTSD.

Plus: MVP Danielle Harris and Annie's powerful death scene, human caricature Dr. Loomis, a misogynistic strip club scene, and all of the changes that makes the Director's Cut an improvement over the Theatrical Cut.
