These are the differnces on the FX version

On the FX Network Premire, there are several additonal scenes added for running time, and a lot has been edited.

Scenes Added:
Marion looking around her house is extended.
Jimmy taking a look around Marion's house is extended.
Michael stalking Marion is extended.
Cops are shown bumbling around outside while Marion is chased by Michael.
Intro to Laurie is differently Paced.
a quick view of the town and school is shown before Laurine and John have breakfast.
a reference joke to Psycho made by Charlie is shown as he walks with John to school.
Michael is shown watching the Mother and little girl during the restroom scene.
Charlie and John are shown talking while they walk the California town outside the school and Michael follows them in his car.
Molly is shown walking through the school halls after getting the roses off the dish lift.
Laurie is shown watching the buses leave while on the telephone before the Psycho homage with Norma.
Laurie walking the school halls at night and walking the school grounds.
Adam Arkin chasing the Shape is slightly different.
John, Charlie and Molly are shown sneaking in through the kitchen window and get stuck while John sees Michael coming into the school. Adam Arkin carves a pumpkin while he opens up to Laurie about his past; lead in for Laurie to open up to him about Michael.
Michael and Laurie stalking each other at the finale is extended.
Extended ending shows Michael's car following far behind Laurine but ends where Laurie chops off the guy's head.

Edited Scenes:
The decapitation at the end of the movie. It cuts to the credits and Halloween music right after she swings the axe, meaning that if you've never seen the workprint or theatrical cut, you wouldn't know whether or not she did indeed cut Michael's head off.
The scene of Michael gettng pinned by the van against the tree has been cut out. It cuts to the van catching on fire. This becomes a goof though, as when Laurie looks at the van, there is no fire, but it starts up again.
The sequence where Laurie is driving down the road with Michael in the body bag in the back has been lengthened. It uses some shots of the van driving down the road twice.
The scene where Michael chases after John and Molly cuts out the shot of the knife going into John's leg when Michael stabs him.
Will's death has been edited. It only shows Michael go up behind him, then cuts to a shot of Laurie looking at him. His body is then thrown down on the floor.
Scenes with the f-word and/or s-word have been dubbed over, or taken out completely.

i haven't actually got round to watching this version yet

Halloween 2 - The Ultimate Cut
Using the additional scenes from the TV version. The Ultimate Cut blends these scenes into the uncut theatrical version creating the longest cut available! the on;y two drawbacks i have seen with this version is that one scenes shows the TV station logo for a few seconds and an alternate version of one scene is show after the original scene. other than that, great stuff! fullscreen only

Halloween 6 - Producer's Cut Composite
Again using the Workprint version and theatrical version. this version of Halloween 6 blends the workprint scenes and original Donald Pleasene voiceovers into the theatrical cut of the film. widescreen

Halloween H20 - FX TV Version.
Shown a few times on FX on the USA. this version contains additional and alternate scenes. It has been edited for language and violence though. fullscreen

Halloween - The Homecoming
This version is the original workprint version of Halloween : Resurrection and was used for test screenings before release. it features a never beginning scene which shows an 8mm film showing the entire Myers family in the garden and a very spooky Micheal looking direct into the camera. i beleive there are little alterations throughout the film. italso has a temp score and features the CSI woman ending where she gets pulled to the manhole. widescreen
