When the new Halloween came out in 2018 I absolutely adored the movie, however after the made the full trilogy it became apparent that they had no idea what to do past the 2018 movie as the trilogy doesn’t work at all. Kills was fairly disappointing and its attempt at social commentary was hackneyed and cringey, and while I really enjoyed Ends as a finale to a trilogy it was a complete failure focusing on an entirely new character and barely featuring Michael Meyers. However there are still lots of things I did like about the 2 sequels, so I’ve decided to edit all three of them down into a single long movie. Most of the edit is going to be focused on 2018 and Kills, with a heavily truncated Corey free version of Ends as the third act.
I cut out a bunch of dumb jokes from 2018, such as making Alison’s dad way less of a joke, and removing the dumb cops and there sandwich discussion
I started with a trimmed flashback sequence from Kills, before transitioning into the Halloween 2018 title sequence, and opening on the extended scene of Laurie in the shooting range removing the asylum sequence and the podcasters driving up to Lauries house.
I cut out the Dinner Scene and the Bus Escape scene. I really like both of these, but the dinner scene is just reinforcing what’s already been established about the family’s relationships, and we also have a scene of officer Hawkins arriving at the aftermath of the bus scene as well.
Cut Podcasters at Judith Meyer’s grave and of Hawkins at Hospital with Sartain
I added the deleted scene of Allison jogging and seeing the dead dog.
After Alison is found after Oscar’s death I cut to a condensed version of the bar scene from Kills to reintroduce the characters from the original film
After Sartain drives off with Alison and Michael I cut to the Cameron finding Hawkins and calling the ambulance
Rest of 2018 plays without much editing just some minor trims here and there
Kills edits
Cut Karen in the Morgue
Slightly trimmed Sandra’s husband’s death scene
Cut out Alison and Karen’s questioning, as well as implication Michael isn’t after Laurie.
I cut out the entire subplot with the escaped mental patient and the hospital
Little John, Big John and their deaths have been removed.
Cut out the Marian, doctor, and nurse kills, leave in them finding their bodies
After Karen’s death I cut to the first scene after the credits in Ends, Then after Laurie washes out the burnt pie we cut to the grocery store scene.
After the grocery store we cut to the end of the movie where Laurie makes it look like she’s going to commit suicide.
It really is Michael that Laurie shoots down the stairs.
I cut immediately to Alison stopping her car to hear about Laurie’s supposed suicide and then play out the Ends till it’s over, removing all references to Corey.
The edit is a bit longer than I would’ve liked at 2 hours and 43 minutes with credits.
If you’d like to check out the edit leave me a PM.
