We’re back! And our Halloween edits:
THE SHAPE: A combo of H1 (1978) and H2 (1981). It has re-scores from the Halloween soundtrack from 2018 & H:Kills (2021). But to make it even darker and more gruesome, Maniac used new sound effects and Tyler Bates’s music from the Rob Zombie movies. The atmosphere is heavier and more sickening now. The pace is tighter and a lot of bad stuff from H2 has been removed, And Myers’s eyes are blackened out! H1-H2 has been done many times before by countless editors, but this is something special 😉.

THE SHAPE RETURNS: A streamlined and re-scored edit of Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers (1988). It contains H1-H2 flashbacks to make a better connection with the first films and let the story come full circle at the end. Plus new Loomis’s monologes.
• Michael Myers’s actions and presence are more suspenseful and sometimes done off-screen (limited shots of his poorly made mask and visible shoulder pads under his costume).
• Cut a number of obnoxious scenes or lines and fix some errors.
• Change the aspect ratio to 2.35:1 (in the vibe of H1-H2).
• New sound effects; new music by John Carpenter from David Gordon Green’s 2018-2022 trilogy plus a few tracks from various Halloween chapters. Maniac did a tremendous and difficult job to achieve it.

Special thanks to LastSurvivor for an insightful feedback 😃.
So you have THE SHAPE and THE SHAPE RETURNS to create one story. Or each of them can be viewed as stand-alone movies.
Happy Halloween from us. More info on:
