Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Halloween II (2009)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Daeg Faerch, who played young Michael Myers in Rob Zombie's 2007 Halloween remake, was signed to return for the sequel but was recast after filming briefly in Georgia because he had grown taller; Chase Wright Vanek took over the role.
- Halloween II stands as the last Halloween film made by Dimension Films, which lost the rights to the franchise in 2015.
- Rob Zombie used John Carpenter's original Halloween theme music only in the final scene of Halloween II, after he and composer Tyler Bates tried inserting it elsewhere and decided it "just wouldn't feel right".
SPOILER
Rob Zombie, known for filming multiple versions of sequences, shot an alternate ending to Halloween II in which Loomis and Michael Myers crash through the shed the police have surrounded and Michael stabs Loomis in the stomach, telling him "Die!".- Zombie acknowledged that filming in Georgia gave the production certain tax breaks, but he said the real reason he picked the state was that the locations he had planned to use were still experiencing snowy weather.
