This sequel in name only is a disappointment, offering a more straightforward anthology approach than the first film, owing more to the V/H/S franchise or The ABCs of Death than anything.
A woman gets stood up on Halloween. She sees a figure outside her window in a pumpkin mask and discovers a VHS tape on her doorstep, framing this anthology of 8 bite-sized horror tales from an assortment of writers and directors. This one is a mixed bag containing more rotten apples than razor blades, although there are a couple of promising shorts which mostly end up feeling anticlimactic.
While this sequel does not feature the character of Art the Clown, he would go on to return in the first of his own standalone series of films, one year later...
