Is the theatrical cut out already then? How do you know the workprint is better?


The workprint ends with...

...with Michael getting gunned down by (at least, I think) most of the Haddonfield police force after he gives Laurie up to Loomis. In the theatrical cut, he kills Loomis, then chases after Laurie AGAIN, and she retrieves Loomis' gun and gets caught by him, so she keeps pulling the trigger over and over again until she finally gets to a bullet that hasn't been spent yet, finally killing Michael. At least in the workprint version, it doesn't come off as tacked-on, but man, is it funny as hell, as opposed to the theatrical ending, which feels lame and tacked-on. It almost felt like Rob Zombie wanted to throw in even more twists in that ending, and for me, it doesn't work.
