Although Daeg Faerch, who portrayed a young Michael Myers in the 2007 remake, was initially signed on to reprise his role for Halloween II (then known as H2), after filming briefly in Georgia as young Michael, he was later recast because he had grown taller. He was replaced by Chase Wright Vanek.
This is a great classic horror film that reinvented the slasher genre, although it is pretty inappropriate. For example, teens have sex under sheets, with moaning too. Afterwards, the girls breasts are shown including the nipples. Teens make out.
The Bottom Line: You're Never Too Old for Halloween
So, whether your child wants to trick-or-treat until they graduate high school or they're over it as soon as they enter middle school, both are okay. Just make sure everyone is having fun and enjoying the tradition.
Generally, people consider ages 12 to 16 the cutoff for trick-or-treating but that varies widely. A 2021 survey by YouGov showed people were divided on the question.
Child psychologist Michele Borba tells SheKnows that while there's no one-size strict age cutoff, most kids naturally decide between 12 and 17 that they feel too old to participate in trick-or-treating.
Not violent but a lot of blood is shown and very gross. Michael stabs a nurse in the back with a scalpel and lifts her off the ground. No blood is shown but fairly graphic and very disturbing. A teenage girl is shown being injected in an extreme closeup, not graphic.
If you are very queasy or do not enjoy a movie with a lot of blood, guts, and gore, do not go and see this movie! Plus, the scene where the dog gets killed and eaten may be very sad to animal lovers.
The original film was very scary but not excessively gory; this film notably increases to level of gore but unfortunately it isn't as scary. This is because once Myers gets into the hospital it is just a succession of characters we don't really care about getting brutally murdered.
Connor Lloyd Comes Face To Face With The Serial Killer Michael Myers For The Second Time On a halloween night a year after the first brutal attack, after seeing Michael standing out his wind...
Laurie Strode is taken to the hospital, and Dr. Loomis continues to hunt down Michael with the help of the police. Michael continues killing the citizens of Haddonfield and heads to the hospital to kill Laurie.

As with Chesapeake, several other Virginia cities and towns have trick-or-treat age limit laws in place; among them Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Norfolk, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, York County andHampton. Many of them prohibit trick-or-treating after age 12.
“You are never too old!” Aneisha McMillan, of the Halloween Costume Association, told FOX Television Stations. “I live in a quaint little town in Michigan and my kids range from 7 to 24, and all of them will be trick-or-treating.”
"There is no age when kids 'should' stop trick-or-treating, but after graduating high school many enjoy other ways to celebrate Halloween," Sheryl Ziegler, a Denver family therapist tells TODAY.com. "The decision to stop is based more on behavior than age." If your older child loves trick-or-treating, that's OK.
Some people see it as “weird” or “immature,” while others see it as a threat to their children's safety. In some cities, it has even become illegal to trick or treat past a certain age.
Some kids are ready to ditch the tradition as soon as they hit the teen years, while others hang on a bit longer. A poll by the Today Show found that most adults support kids trick-or-treating into their teen years, with 46% of respondents saying kids are never too old.

Carpenter and Hill agreed to participate in the new project only if it was not a direct sequel to Halloween II, which meant Michael Myers would not be the focus of the film.
Simply put, Halloween III doesn't fit with the story of any other movie in this series. It's a separate story altogether, and it's a disappointment. If you're looking for another bite of the scary saga of The Shape, go straight to Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. You'll be glad you did.
