I'd love to get some opinions, but I personally thought this sequel was better then the first. My reasons:

A. Killer Soundtrack

B. General '80s feel to the film (my fav movie decade)

C. Faster pacing.

I noticed many like the first movie more (arguably better cast and slower more intense build up), but to me the first's pacing is just WAYYYY too slow, even for a movie as short as it is.

Regardless, I'm dressing up as the hooded man this Halloween to scare the kiddies!
