Vol 2
More Of The Night He Came Home
I'm continuing to focus on Carpenter and Howarth's Prophet driven scores and Halloween ii is no exception. There are lots of layers happening on this soundtrack and thus some of these patches might sound like they are "Missing something".
For this score, I personally feel that Carpenter and Howarth took John's original 70s score (done entirely on a Piano and Moog Modular System)and surpassed it. This score (and film) has a distinctly more gothic feel to it. The use of synthesized pipe organs sounds as well as more metallic sounding noise splashes really help give a strange sort of mixture of classic horror soundtrack as well as a semi industrial feel.
