  • Two hosts object that the sequel mythologizes Laurie while giving Jamie Lee Curtis almost nothing to do; alternatives include killing her early or moving her to another hospital.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Halloween II The Rewatchables

Laurie’s absent adoptive parents may be worse than the Home Alone parents; Brackett and every Haddonfield adult also fail to protect children.

  • They never appear despite their daughter being stabbed, hospitalized, attacked again, and transferred after dawn.
