Sex & Nudity

Moderate

After a woman leaves a man sings "(...)sit on my face"
Around 49 minutes in, a woman is seen in a towel, which she eventually lowers to reveal her breasts. She fools around with a man (we see his bare butt once) in a hot tub. Later, she's killed and we see her breasts again. This is the only scene of nudity and the entire sequence lasts nearly four minutes.

Violence & Gore

Severe
88 of 124 found this severe
A character slips on a pool of blood he did not see because of low light. He smashes his head on the floor and is knocked unconscious. Later when he comes to, he tries to drive a car, but is too woozy and falls unconscious again.
A huge and fiery explosion is set off by gas leaks in a room. One character is implied to perish, and another character's fate is uncertain. The latter is shown walking out, completely aflame, before collapsing.
Although very bloody compared to the first film, it really isn't that bad. All of the kills are done with practical effects, and this is an early '80s movie, so the effects are very dated.
A teenage boy in a Halloween costume is chased by a police officer before being hit by a police car which crashes him into an ambulance, causing the ambulance and police car to explode, killing the teenage boy. We see his body on fire with blood spots, but this scene is more crazy than disturbing.
The teenage girl who was previously stabbed to death is shown lying dead on a stretcher with blood on her neck.
Two members of hospital staff begin to have sex in a hot tub before the heating is turned up in the hot tub by a killer. The man gets out to investigate before the killer silently strangles him to death with a cord. He then approaches the woman and repeatedly shoves her head into the hot tub, scalding her as she screams in pain. He eventually pulls her out dead and all of her skin is shown peeled off in an extremely graphic and disgusting way.
A security officer investigates a storeroom in the dark before opening a door. A killer jumps out from the doorway before hitting the officer on the head with a hammer claw. Some blood spots are present on a nearby pane of glass.
A woman runs into the bodies of a killer's previous victims.
A nurse enters a room to find a doctor dead in an operating chair with a syringe in his eyeball. Although in dark lighting and not particularly bloody, this scene is still gross.
A man finds a nurse dead with her blood drained through an IV. Not very violent as the blood is unrealistically red but gross and creepy.

Profanity

Moderate
63 of 109 found this moderate
Fuck and shit are used alongside lesser profanities.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
75 of 103 found this mild
A character is seen smoking briefly.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
61 of 105 found this severe
In addition to showing far more blood than the original, many of the scenes in the sequel take place in a hospital environment, including a couple of operating rooms and very graphic medical depictions. Depending on the viewer, this may be cause for more phobic responses than anything in the original film would.
