Welcome to The Movie Asylum: You Don't Have to be Crazy to Riff Here but it Helps!
In their very first riff, riffers James Rosenthal and Ben Rosenthal enlist the help of guest riffer Steve Lutz to tear into Halloween 2. For those who just couldn't get enough of a murderous mime in a bleached William Shatner mask there's good news: Michael Myers lives to slash another day in this lighthearted romp of a film. That wacky Dr. Loomis and his best friend Sheriff Brackett are back to wander around aimlessly while our hero Michael Myers kills a lot of annoying, useless people. Unfortunately, none of them is Shia LaBeouf.
Written and performed by James Rosenthal (James of LinHood), Ben Rosenthal (MechanicalTorgo), and Steve Lutz (Steve-O), with additional writing by Mike Hirsch (dignan) and Christian King (Sideswipe) of the Rifftrax forums, this riff is fun for all of you aspiring psycho killers out there! Just don't kill us. We love our lives too much!

Very funny!
The audio needs a little work but overall I laughed.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Re: The sound. I knew that this was an issue. It's one of the big reasons we're selling this for only $0.99. I can tell you that the audio quality will be much improved on all of our future riffs. So, we hope that you'll stick with us!
I enjoyed this one. The riff gets a 4/5. Audio 3/5. Like the previous poster mentioned a few minor audio issues. Just a suggestion, you might want to make sure your dynamics are a bit more even.
With that said, still a great riff and worth the price of admission.
Well done! I had a lot of fun watching this, to me it matched Mike and Kevin's riff of Halloween. I look forward to checking out your other iriffs.
Did you write those or are they part of a song? Can you post the lyrics? For me it was one of the best parts of the riffing.
Hey BratPrince,
Glad you enjoyed the dramatic Stalking Theme!
The song was, indeed, written especially for this riff. I've posted the lyrics to the forum here, along with the lyrics to the "lost song" that didn't quite make the cut for the final script.
Thanks for giving our little iRiff a shot (or seven)!
-- Steve-O
I rewatched it and did what u suggested by singing the second version of the lyrics. It was a great performance but I really wish you could edit it so you are louder. Will you be doing any more of the series?
I personally would LOVE to do Halloween 3 at the very least. But I'd pretty much only be willing to do it if Steve-O wanted to join us again. So, PM him like crazy on the board and demand that he riff another one!
Also, you might want to keep your eyes on that Halloween 2 thread. You might be seeing a special announcement in the next week or two.... :-)
I give you guys a lot of credit ... my friends love it when I riff on movies but I don't have enough to do a whole movie. I would love to do The Exorcist :-) and a few others (a few of the Hammer Dracula's to name a few) come to mind. The remake of The Amityville Horror I could see you guys doing.
ps Who did the actual singing for the track?
