Writer/director Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween was a divisive and controversial film – but the follow-up that Zombie brought the world in 2009 may be even more divisive and controversial than the remake. In the latest episode of our video series WTF Happened to This Horror Movie, we dig into Rob Zombie's Halloween II (watch it HERE), one of the craziest sequels in the Halloween franchise. Check it out in the embed above!
Halloween II stars Scout Taylor-Compton, Tyler Mane, Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, Brea Grant, and Angela Trimbur. The synopsis:
A year after narrowly escaping death at the hands of Michael Myers, Laurie Strode is at the breaking point, pushed to the edge by Dr. Loomis' revelation that she's Michael's sister.

Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?
