Other Info: Halloween 2 had a $2,500,000 budget with director, Rick Rosenthal, and Producer, Debra Hill. This time around the crew was alot more prepared for the making of the movie. More so than Halloween 1. The hospital scenes were shot in Morningside Hospital (Pasadena, California). John Carpenter did not want to direct the sequel because he felt that he had already "did the film" and did not want to direct another movie of the same series. Carpenter instead, settled for writing the film, which grossed $25 Million (Less than Halloween [1978])
