"Halloween: Hell and Horror in Haddonfield
The Whole Bloody Story of the Night HE Came Home
PANSY ALERT: This movie still scares the piss out of me. Didn't stop me from taking on the challenge.

Dark_Jedi wanted a version of Halloween and Halloween II that flowed seamlessly as one film. Even though I had both films in my collection, I put off this edit for a long time due to the pansy alert you read above. Once I committed to the project, I started with the official Extended Edition of I, that includes the shot-for-TV additions AND all the graphic violence and nudity. They don't hurt the film in my judgement. Right where the credits roll, I spliced the movie. Two problems ... the audio was in the middle of the Halloween theme and the second movie starts with a reprise of the ending events, with a synth-heavy Halloween theme playing after Loomis' "You don't know what death is" line and the opening credits for II.

Fortunately, the video was easy to cut around and it became an issue of the audio. Enter creative liberties. By running the closing credits' music over the scene of Loomis in the front yard and The Shape in the back yard, not only do they time perfectly to end when Loomis hooks back up with the sheriff, but this great synth drone from H2 mixes in perfectly when Loomis realizes Michael is still on the loose after being shot. It gives the scene a much more ominous presence.

I would have used the extended edition of H2 if a similar official widescreen release existed. But it doesn't, so H2 is only the theatrical cut.

Then, at the end, I simply ran both sets of closing credits over looped editions of the closing theme(s).

I never did like the "Mr. Sandman" closing of H2, but it is part of the film. So I decided to make it available as the default audio option. But the real jewel was re-using the closing music from H1 as the ending for H2. It ends the film with the Halloween theme that Carpenter himself did, and it lets us hear Michael's breathing through the mask as we watch his body burn. This also sets up the sequels in typical slasher-flick style.

In the end, you see the entire story of what happened in Haddonfield, Il. on October 31, 1978 until dawn the following morning. It takes about 3 hours 8 minutes wo watch, including credits. If it scares the bejeesus out of you, then you share my dread. Just don't let the Boogeyman get you! Muwahahahahahhahaha!"
