Info: Halloween (2007) - workprint leaked

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.

Have you ever heard that part 3 was apparently filmed first with Gleason playing the Bandit? But it sucked so bad they refilmed almost the whole movie. Apparenlty his estate has it and it probably won't ever see the light of day.


That I heard.

I would also direct you to this guy, who's a trader with lots of TV versions. That's quite a comprehensive list.

Alien Appendix #3: The Alien Archive (Released)

Please bear in mind this is not being typed through gritted teeth - but I just have to quickly address this.

This project is *not* one of the those that is announced with hoopla and never happens. Believe me, I for one bemoan the myriad of projects that are announced thusly and never materialize.

The difference with them and this is that there are 3 discs of material related to this project that both Jonno are I have sweated over and spent literally 100's of hours working on.

A further disc will follow, no doubt but when *we* are ready to work on it, not just when people decide it's time to kickstart our evidently lazy asses.

My fanedit/life ratio needs to be addressed, since the last release (that was Jonno's baby and easily the best of the 3) I've also finished 4 discs worth of Dawn of the Dead Volume 2 discs and the Taxi Driver preservation. I appreciate that no-one is holding a gun to our head to do these but it's very easy to be an armchair spectator without knowing just how much time and care goes into these.

So apologies if I need a bit of break from it all but I will take the above positively that interest is still out there for more, and as long as people are equally prepared to be forthcoming with material that they promise and don't put us to expense to track down said items when they never arrive then I'll contact Jonno and see what we can rustle up for disc #4.



Holy crap, I didn't even realize anyone responded to my post. What I meant to say before is that there are a lot of projects that fall by the wayside. I know that your work is some of the best on the forum, hence why I keep downloading the Appendices, because they have such a level of care about them. However, for every project like this that comes along, there's always someone with new ideas who gets a lack of support from other members. You could look up past posts and see great ideas for projects that never came to fruition.

Anyway, I'm interested to see what you've got going for the next project.

Final Post. Ever. No more. & Something for you shitbrains to think about...

Hmmm...reminds me of my old days at the StarTrek.com forum...there was this fellow named Wolfie. Real crazy fellow, spammed a lot, did it practically every day, then, by some random coincidence, someone found his Myspace, and learned he was autistic and confined to a wheelchair. In spite of everything that he did, we all still felt kind of bad for him. He was a little messed up, but he was nice when you got to know him. It's a shame that Zigfried went off the wall so much.

Rebel Assault II and, Jedi Knight Dark Forces II cutscenes

Man, it seems Lucas wasn't only scamming us with the trilogy. I picked up "Star Wars: Dark Forces Part II - Jeni Knight: Special Edition, and it was only a 3-level demmo of the game! Lucasfilm doesn't only not know what restoration means, they have no clue what a special edition is either.


How true it is. My aunt gave me a copy of the "Lucasarts Archives" for Christmas a few years ago. I had never seen one of the sets before, which claimed to be 1 of 4 packages with 6 Lucasarts games on them. As it turns out, half of them were demos. The only real games I got were X-Wing and Tie Fighter (and Star Wars Yoda Stories, if that can even be called a game; more like a non-stop mini-game with no end), and demos of Jedi Knight II, X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter and Jedi Knight: Mysteries Of The Sith. And these things cost $45.00 when they came out? Madness!

This site is evil. Pure evil. It was created for a good cause, to get the Original Theatrical Versions of Star Wars on DVD. But then evil shitheads like VBANGLE and ROB turned it into an unfriendly, offensive shithole.

I decided to read the last few posts in my other thread just to see if you guys actually turned a new leaf. But you didn't. ROB called me dipshit, and someone else actually felt comfortable about it. That's when I condemned you all to burn in Hell. People, whole websites, that encourage mean and offensive behavior are devoted to evil.

I suffer from Autism and OCD. But the fact is, that the majority of people on the Internet have ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING RESPECT for people with disabilities. One person even labeled this site autistic-proof. That's how evil this site has become.

Sure, I got a lot of great stuff from this site, Star Wars and the Thief and the Cobbler DVDs. But they were from good people, who actually cared about people like me. But thery're gone now, probably because you fuckheads scared them off.

This site is yet another example of how evil people can really be. And what's worse, they can do it right in the comfort of their own living room, and they don't have to worry about a fucking thing.

From this moment forward, I will never join any forum just for fun. If I join a forum, it will only be for something I need.

A message to VBANGLE, the stalker who haunted my entire time here:

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO FUCK OFF AND DIE.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS SHIT FOR BRAINS.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS.

YOUR FUCKING SKULL IS SO FUCKING THICK THAT NOTHING CAN GET IN IT, ONLY OUT. I CONDEMN TO GET WHPPED, BEATEN, BURNED, AND TORMENTED TO ETERNAL FUCKING DOOM.

And anyone who tries to speak up for him, I condemn you to the exact same fate.

I leave for-sure absolutely positively permanently. This site has already given me enough bad memories, and I don't want anymore. I won't come back even to read this thread, so don't bother to respond. If you do, I condemn you to the same fucking fate as VBANGLE.

Auf Wiedersehen you fucking Nazis.


On your mark, ready, set, let's go

I know, you know,
You went psycho when my new joint hit

Gotta get jiggy with it, that's it!
