I think Halloween II retains some suspense that the original had even though there is some silliness.
I did like Loomis line, “Samhain isn't goblins or evil spirits. It isn't witches or ghosts. It's the unconscious mind. We're all afraid of the dark inside ourselves.” The Halloween franchise aside from the original film is not ripe with lots of thought- provoking things but there are installments where there will be things that jump out as an interesting extrapolation.

If my 10-year-old self was watching this, it would be off the charts in the scares factor. Heart beating, snake surprise, creepy crawly nasty – all that stuff is still there and present, despite being a bit muted by today’s standards [it still scores high for me].
Time is precious, but I strongly encourage if you have a moment, check out Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It has more thematic depth than Temple of Doom.
