Was Halloween 2 any good?
Part II is considered the next-best Halloween movie... and I thought it was really quite bad. It doubled down on the violence but wasn't as well-made as the first film. Not a movie I would recommend to anyone or ever watch again.
Why was Michael Myers recast in Halloween 2?
They recast Young Michael because the original actor had grown too much. It would be jarring. They had to recast there.
Was Rob Zombie forced to make Halloween 2?
The film's director, Rob Zombie had absolutely no intention of making a sequel to his 2007 Halloween film. However, the studio decided to go forward with the sequel against Rob's wishes. He didn't want someone else ruining his vision, so he decided to come back and write and direct this film.
Is Halloween 2 scarier than 1?
Yes, it's bloodier than H1 overall, I even said that in my original post, but it's marginally bloodier than the original film. The kills in H1 take longer too, there's struggling going on. The hot tub kill in 2 is the only thing that matches the rawness of the original film's kills.

Zombie shows flashes of vision in the follow-up to his Halloween reboot, but they're smothered by mountains of gore and hackneyed, brutal violence.
The seemingly invincible Michael Myers tracks down Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital to finish what he started.
