What strange power made his arm into snake, made him puke snakes?

This is never explained but i borrowed that line partially from the movie The Reptile (1966).

Also can someone tell me what was the deal with the gas station attendant n his hidden creature?

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs n didn't enjoy it then. In fact, i still find part one better.

This one is very boring.

The first kill happens around the 55th min n that too nothing scary or gory bah it. The effects are very lousy and add to it the atrocious editing where u can't make out wots going on.

While the first part was based on Color Out Of Space, this one doesn't have anything to do with the first part or the book.

The lead female character is so mean that she leaves the small girl all alone in the house knowing that the girl's parents are killed by her boyfriend's hand cum snake.

In Stepfather, Jill Schoelen was 24 but she played a 16 year old in it and her nudity was a put off n uncalled for.

But here in Curse 2 we dont get to see her nude inspite of an offscreen sex scene n a lousy shower scene.

The plot - A man is bitten by a snake and somehow his bitten hand undergoes transformation into a hideous snake monster, which kills everyone who comes closer to him. The man tries to run away from his girlfriend to protect her but the girlfriend pursuits him n puts herself in danger while the local sheriff, his deputies n the town's doctor (Pinocchio nose fella) wants to track and destroy the monster once and for all.

The movie has a lil gore but tension, suspense, atmosphere is totally missing.

Not really a sequel

The only thing better than a sequel is one that's in name only. That's exactly what The Curse II: The Bite is all about. It's really a movie called The Bite, which was directed by Fred Goodwin, who is really Frederico Prosperi, whose only other credit is producing the nature on the loose movie The Wild Beasts.

The film came to be after the success of The Curse. Producer Ovidio G. Assonitis and his company TriHoof Investments started making this film and another called The Train, which also became an in-name-only sequel as well called Beyond the Door III (AKA Amok Train).

Our heroes are young lovers Clark (J. Eddie Peck, the star of Lambada) and Lisa (Jill Schoelen, who is one of my favorite unheralded scream queens with roles in The Stepfather, Cutting Class, The Phantom of the Opera, Popcorn, When a Stranger Calls Back and Chiller) whose cross-country trip has taken them right past an abandoned nuclear test site crawling with mutant snakes. Clark gets bit and starts to slowly mutate into a snake himself.

Luckily, Lisa has some help from a sheriff (Bo Svenson) and Harry Morton (Jamie Farr) a traveling salesman who is also a doctor of sorts. He tries to treat the snakebite and uses the wrong medication, which pushes the mutation further as he furtively seeks the couple out to save them as much as he's trying to save himself from a malpractice lawsuit. Why is a travelling salesman also a doctor? That's just how the world of this movie works.

Also, if you ever wanted to see a movie where Jamie Farr has conjugal relations with trucker women, come on down to Curse II: The Bite!

There are some great Screaming Mad George effects in this, as well as an astounding scene where Clark tries to use his hand in a Biblical manner on Lisa. His mutated snake hand. Man, I was screaming at the television! Stick with this movie because while it starts off slow, but it gets ooey, gooey and great by the end. And by great, the kind of great when Italian filmmakers are let loose in America. You know what I'm talking about.

This worked out so well that a movie called Panga became Curse III: Blood Sacrifice and Catacombs was retitled Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice.

Weak Italian horror production has no connection for original Curse film

Typically cheap Italian horror production that cashes in on the success of another horror film. This "sequel" bears no connection to the original "Curse" film and is instead a story about a man bitten by a radioactive snake who then spawns killer snake-like creatures. That premiss might have been a campy good time, but this film is a boring slog. Jill Schoelen, J. Eddie Peck, and Jamie Farr provide a few familiar faces on screen, along with Bo Svenson as the Sheriff and Sydney Lassick (Cheswick from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") in smaller roles. Only watch this film if you're in the mood for a bad old school horror film (which I'll admit that I sometimes am).
