The soundtrack was released via cassette tape and LP record. The film has a stellar 80's rock soundtrack, as should be expected from a movie that features a radio station as an important part of it's plot. However, over the years it's become a true cult-classic and a favorite of fans of the franchise. At the time of it's release it wasn't received very well by fans, mostly because they expected a repeat of the original. Rather than attempt to duplicate the feel and atmosphere of the original, which would've been nearly impossible mind you, Tobe Hooper decided to take the sequel in a completely different direction with over the top personalities, a dark sense of humor and gore galore, which was probably the very best thing he could've done with it. I could probably quote every line from the movie to be honest. I've probably seen this film more times than any other over the years, as it was one of my go-to movies whenever I found myself bored when I was a little boy. I was fortunate enough to meet Bill Johnson and the late Lou Perryman as well, at that same convention. He's always down to earth and doesn't mind doing impressions of his characters for fans. I've met Bill multiple times at conventions, the first one being the 2004 Cinema Wasteland in Strongsville, Ohio. The amount of energy and just sheer craziness he put into the role was exactly what the movie needed. The character that really makes the film fun to watch though, was that of Chop Top, played by Bill Moseley. Jim Siedow also returned to reprise his role as The Cook.
