halloween6-producerscut

Halloween 6 producer's - the version of this movie that was eventually released, was substantially differant to the version they had originally filmed. Following the death of the main star Donald Pleasance shortly after filming had finished. The director Joe Chappelle decided to re-film the ending, but after doing so also decided to re-structure and re-edit other parts of the movie.The original version, known as "The Producers Cut", has never been released, but there are bootleg tapes in circulation in the USA. Those who have managed to track down copies have discovered that the original version was virtually an ENTIRELY differant film.
In this alternate "Producers Cut" the intro would have
contained a flashback to part 5, showing the man-in-black
bundling Myers into the back of a van and abducting Jamie,
just before the Police stationexploded. Also, the voice
during the begging titles was originally by Dr Loomis
and not Tommy. In the scene where Myers confronts
Jamie in the barn he didn't originally kill her by impaling
her on farm machinery, instead he knifed her and left her
for dead. The part of the film where Dr Loomis and Dr Wynn visit the crime scene, in the producers cut the scene is extended and we see Jamie still alive, lying on a stretcher. The nurse tells them "only god can save her now" (if you look, just before the scene cuts in the theatrical version, you can see her being loaded onto the stretcher in the background)Jamie then
spends most of the film lingering in hospital, we are shown a
nightmare she's having of Michael impregnating her and thus
explaining who the father of her child is (Isn't that insense or
something?). She is later shot dead by the man-in-black,
telling her "your work is done now Jamie".There are also
additional scene's showing Michael stalking the Strodes
and other scene's showing the man-in-black following
young Danny about. Danny also hears voices saying "kill for
him". The rest of the film carrries on more or less the same as the theatrical version, minus the exploding head. The only other exceptions being that some scene's are longer or paced differantly.

The most substantial plot change was the ending. When Loomis confronts Dr Wynn in his office, in this version Wynn tells him how he and his "Thorn" cult members look after Michael and how he wants to pass his duties onto Dr Loomis. After one of the cult members knocks Loomis out, instead of Tommy wandering off and finding Kara locked in a room. Tommy spots one of the doctors at smithsgove dressed in their cult robes, and so mugs him and takes his costume. Kara meanwhile is tied up in the main ceremony chamber, where they are preparing to sacrifice Jamie's baby and pass the curse of the "Thorn" from Myers to Danny, but Tommy Jumps Dr Wynn and holds a knife to his throat. Having free'd Danny, Kara and the baby they make a run for it, with Myers close behind.
Rather than locking themselves in a room then and attacking Myers with a syringe then beating him with a pipe as they did in the theatrical version, they find themselves trapped behind a gate. Tommy stops Myers by casting a circle of rune stones and adding his blood to the circle. As Myers crosses the circle of stones he is stopped dead, as his evil is cancelled out by them. Dr Loomis then appears and opens the gate, letting them out (the scene where Loomis opens the gate is the only original scene left in the theatrical ending).After Tommy drives off to safety with Kara and the children, Loomis returns inside to "take care of buisness". All that happens next in the theatrical version is we see Myers disgarded mask and hear Dr Loomis screaming (presumably being set about by Myers). Instead we see Loomis enter the building, where he comes accross Myers who is lying in the circle of rune stones. He removes Myers mask, only to find Dr Wynn beneath it, Wynn grabs Loomis's arm and the mark of the "Thorn" cult appears on him and Wynn says "It's your game now". Loomis cries out in terror and we see Myers leaving the building dressed as the man-in-black, then the end credits roll (in the theatrical cut the only part still remaining from the original is the sound of Loomis screaming).
