Yes, I hated the Laurie/sister connection, too. But the worst thing for me about Halloween II was the beginning, when Michael falls off the balcony and merely GETS UP and walks away! The original ends on such an eerie tone, with his disappearing into the night after his tumble to the ground. Brrr. Halloween II ruins that moment almost from the get-go. I remember seeing the film on November 2nd, 1981--again, after Halloween--and I thought it was slow going, with the darkest hospital in creation. And all those murders! It just didn't work for me and still doesn't work. In my opinion, Halloween II ruined the story. Laurie never should've been his sister. That she was just a random victim was much more effective.
