- "The Nightmare Isn't Over: The Making of 'Halloween II'" (44:55, HD) features interviews with director Rick Rosenthal, producer Irwin Yablans, filmmaker Tommy Lee Wallace, cinematographer Dean Cundey, actor/stunt coordinator Dick Warlock, costume designer Jane Ruhm, co-editor Skip Schoolnik, co-composer Alan Howarth, and actors Leo Rossi, Ana Alicia, Tawny Moyer, Lance Guest, and Nancy Stephens. Initial sequel plans are charted by Yablans, who wanted to get back to work right away, encountering a hesitant John Carpenter, who moved on to "The Fog," resulting in a lawsuit against him. Also reluctant to participate in the follow-up is Wallace, who hated the script, rejecting a directorial offer. Getting the gang back together from "Halloween," sacrifices are highlighted, with Cundey turning down "Poltergeist" for "Halloween II." The hospital location and its sound problems are detailed, along with time spent with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance. Performance choices are examined, including Warlock's work as Michael Myers and his attention to safe stunt work. Kills are analyzed, and the ending is debated, with an alternate ending attached to the feature without Rosenthal's prior knowledge. Going into the "too many cooks in the kitchen" argument, the interviewees mostly seem pleased "Halloween II" came out a well as it did, and Howarth inspects scoring offerings, working over Carpenter's original music.
