John Carpenter's sequel continues exactly from where the original left off with Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Charles Cyphers and Nancy Stephens all returning to their roles although the guy playing Michael Myers - who has much more screen time - is clearly not the same one. A storyline about Laurie being Myers' sister adds a bit of meat to the skeletal plot but viewing the film is really just a matter of seeing how Michael manages to despatch those who get between him and his quarry.
Jamie Lee Curtis ( as Laurie )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Jamie was clearly a bit older and had changed her hair colour since the first film so there's a ten minute gap between the reprise of the first film's climax and Laurie's next appearance to mask the discontinuity.
Pamela Syusan Shoop ( as Karen)
Sex : Karen starts to have sex with her boyfriend in the hydrotherapy pool
Death : Michael boils her head in the overheated pool. :
This was Pamela's final film role.
Gloria Gifford ( as Mrs Alves )
Sex : No
Death : Michael straps her to a gurney and drains out her blood, Actually, she'd be unlikely to die in the film's timeline.
Gloria has been a working actress since 1978 in film, TV and the theatre. In the last two decades she has become a prominent acting coach working for the American Film Institute in the US and her own Actor's Academy in Milan.
Tawny Moyer ( As Jil1)
Sex : No
Death : Stabbed in the back with a scalpel
Tawny was a model and a bit part actress in films and TV from 1978 to 2001. She also worked as a sound engineer on four films in the nineties.
Ana Alicia ( as Janet )
Sex : No
Death : Michael drives a hyperdermic needle into her brain
Ana was born in Mexico but moved to Texas at a young age. Her acting career began with a run on Ryan's Hope and this was her first film role. She made her name in Falcon Crest from 1982 to 1987 and worked in TV for another decade before retiring into private life. She made a brief comeback on M<ecican Tv in 2015.
Nancy Loomis ( as Annie )
Sex : No
Death : Already dead
Nancy agreed to reappear to play her corpse for one scene
Anne Bruner ( as Alice )
Sex : No
Death : Michael cuts her throat with a bread knife
Anne-Marie Martin ( as Darcy )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Although Anne-Marie plays a named character with dialogue , her name does not appear in the credits. This was her last horror role.
