With July in our rearview mirror, it's time for the Halloween spooky season. Well, at least if you're a die-hard horror fan. Spirit Halloween is about to open across the country, films like The Conjuring: Last Rites are hitting theaters next month, and we're starting to plan all our horror movie marathons. You aren't in this chilling season without John Carpenter's Halloween and Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield. Now, as the calendar gets closer to October, Youtooz has unveiled their latest genre figure.

Based on 1981’s Halloween II, Michael Myers is Youtooz's next figure. However, because this is based on the franchise’s first sequel, this slasher killer’s vinyl figure looks a little worse for wear. Specifically, Michael's iconic blue mechanic’s jumper is covered in blood. The figure also includes The Boogeyman’s weapon of choice, a kitchen knife. Yet, that's not the only item in Youtooz's Halloween II collection. They'll also be releasing a cute, and deadly, plushie of Michael Myers in the same bloody pose.

A Bloodier Sequel With Bloodier Merch

While the original 1978 classic will always be the most beloved film in the franchise, Halloween II comes close in terms of popularity. This has a lot to do with the sequel taking place on the same night. Also, actors like Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence returned to their respective roles alongside Carpenter as the screenwriter and composer. Cinematographer Dean Cundey came back for this hospital-centric nightmare as well. The film itself is known for ret-conning Laurie Strode and Michael’s relationship, but that hasn't stopped its rabid cult fanbase from loving it for the last four decades.

The '80s sequel has had a ton of merchandise over the years too, including Funko Pops, apparel collections, and action figures from NECA. Halloween II was featured in NECA's popular Saturday morning cartoon-inspired figure line, Toony Terror. Here, like most Halloween II products, Michael was sporting two bleeding eyes from the explosive third act of the film. Spirit Halloween has been the home of a ton of Halloween sequel merch like mugs, T-shirts, and bobble heads.

Where Can You Stream ‘Halloween II’?

Halloween II isn't currently on a traditional streaming service, but you can rent the film on paid VOD platforms like Fandango at Home. The film has also received multiple Blu-ray and 4K releases over the years. This collection will soon grow with a new 4K steelbook from Scream Factory releasing later this fall. Before your next scary trip to Haddonfield, you can pre-order the Youtooz Halloween II collection on their website starting on Friday, August 8th at 3 PM EST.
