Halloween 6: The Producer's Cut

[Guest El Satanico]

I've been contemplating buying a DVD copy of this version of Halloween 6 on ebay for awhile now.

 

I've been wondering if it's even worth buying, so I've been looking for an opinion from those who have actually seen it.

I don't know anything about a producer's cut...but The Curse of Michael Myers is just awful. Far and away the worst of the series.

[Downhome 0]

I've seen it, and it is not worth it at all. It's horrible, very very bad, don't waste your time.

 

The only reason to watch it is that if you are a hardcore Halloween fan, like I am. Only watch it just to say that you did, don't expect something much better than the actual released version.

Get it.

 

The production cut of "The Curse" is outstanding and SHOULD have been the film that was released. It fills in all the holes.

 

The quality may not be great but it's a better film by far.

Yep, I haven't seen it but I've been told that it tells the WHOLE story. Unlike it's edited counterpart that was released in theatres here in the US.

Damn it.

 

Now I don't care if it's good or not...and I want it.

Yeah I wasn't expecting great picture quality since it's a bootleg with unpolished deleted footage.

The thing is, some of the copies have very good quality while others look like they were shot through a keyhole and skip for some reason.

 

You need to find one of the good quality ones and that is harder than expected.

I will admit that it explains a bit of the story, but the way they did it and the ending just, I don't know how to put it. I just hated it.

 

Do you already know the ending, etc...?

[Guest El Satanico]

Who knows if the DVDs on ebay are good copies, but for $15 total I'm not that worried about it.

 

Besides, I'm expecting the worst, so It's not like I'd be disappointed by the picture quality.

There's sites that explain The Producers Cut, so I have the ability to read about the movie itself.

 

I never had that much of a problem with the cult thing, if that's why you hate it.

This webpage is supposedly the best version of the uncut film: http://onegoodscare.com/h6_procut_dvd/index2.html

 

They pop up now and again on Ebay so keep a lookout for them.

no way Curse is worse than the fifth one.

"Hey, let's catch Myers in a NET!"

"Then we can have an old guy hit him with a stick! That should stop him!"

"But...he survived an explosion...and getting shot...and a fall down a mine shaft..."

"...you're fired!"

I never did understand the ending, but it makes sense that it was changed from the original because of Donald Pleasence's death. The ending in this cut is better but its still ultimately stupid.

Far and away the worst of the series.

Halloween Resurrection

Far and away the worst of the series.

Halloween Resurrection

I stand by my statement...although Resurrection and H20 are awful. Actually, once you get past the first two none of them are very good.

This guy's good to deal with, and just got in Halloween 6

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

The only thing H20 has going for it is the fact that it completely ignored Halloween 3-6.

 

I haven't even seen Resurection though and I really don't have any urgent desire to do so.

If you want to see Busta Rhymes doing Kung-fu and beating the life out of Michael Myers then Resurection is for you.

 

Oh and a NEW WAY for Myers to defy death.

 

I'm sorry I always had a problem with this. The only explanation they EVER give is Myers is "crazy". I don't care HOW crazy you are, you get shot in the head then you are dead.

I don't care HOW crazy you are, you get shot in the head then you are dead.

lol. Reminds me of that line from From Dusk Til Dawn. "Psychos don't explode when the sun hits them, I don't care HOW crazy they are!"

Basically, this tells what happens in the original unreleased Halloween 6:

 

 

WARNING: Spoiler tags aren't working for some reason so spoilers below!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HALLOWEEN The Curse Of Michael Myers was released to audiences in a very different version than originally intended. The original cut of the film has become known as the "Producer's Cut." Although this version has never been released to the public, many fans have tracked down bootleg video tapes to see what happened in this earlier version. They come to find the "Producer's Cut" is almost an entirely different film!

 

For starters, the opening titles themselves are quite different. The entire original cut was not filled with fast-flashing montages, as Joe Chappelle's final cut was. Dr. Loomis performs the opening voice-over, instead of Tommy Doyle.

 

The film then flashes back to the finale of HALLOWEEN 5. We see Jamie enter the police station, and watch as Michael is shoved into a van outside. The Man In Black kidnaps her, and leaves the police station in explosive flames.

 

Jamie escapes with the baby, and finds her way to the farm. But instead of Michael grinding her up, he simply stabs her and leaves her for dead...but she lives. Jamie ends up in the hospital, where she spends a good deal of the film.

 

The next morning, the Strodes are having breakfast. As John slaps Kara, we see Danny look outside the window and see The Shape. Dr. Wynn's voice echoes "Kill for him."

 

Several of the scenes are longer takes than those seen theatrically. A small, but effective, scene is shown as Kara leaves for school. Her parents watch her through the window, and John disowners her, saying "She's not my daughter anymore."

 

Kara arrives at school, and walks around campus. We see The Shape watching her.

 

Meanwhile, Jamie is still in the hospital. She dreams about Michael impregnating her (YUCK! INCEST!) while held in the clutches of the Thorn cult. Sadly, the Man in Black appears in her room, tells her "Your work is finished now, Jamie," and shoots her.

 

The film continues like the theatrical version, without an exploding head, though...many of the scenes paced differently. The plot remains the same until the Thorn members take Kara prisoner - after which the theatrical ending is totally dropped. At Smith's Grove, they have Kara tied up on an alter, where Michael is to perform his final sacrifice by killing the baby Steven and passing the curse of Thorn onto Danny.

 

In his office [in a completely different take of the scene], Dr. Wynn explains to Loomis how he protects Michael, and how he must pass on his duties to another...to Dr. Loomis! During the sacrifice, Tommy sneaks in, dressed as a cult member. Kara reveals that the baby is Michael's. Tommy suddenly takes Wynn hostage, which allows Kara, Danny, and the baby to run for it. Trapped in the hospital by bars, Tommy takes out his supply of rune stones and arranges them in a special circle. He cuts himself, and adds his own blood to the circle, hoping to cancel out Michael's evil rune with thorns of goodness. Sure enough, he manages to stop Michael dead in his tracks as Loomis comes to the rescue to free them from the gate.

 

As Tommy, Kara, Danny, and the baby drive off to safety, Loomis returns inside. As he unmasks Michael's body, he finds Wynn beneath the mask! As Dr. Wynn utters "it's your game now, Dr. Loomis," the Thorn appears on Dr. Loomis' wrist! Sam screams out in terror as Michael walks away, now dressed as the Man In Black.

The spoilers confuse me..............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Why did they turn Michael into a nutcase killer?

 

-So he really is an immortal monster that can't be harmed?

 

-When he unmasks him to find Wynn.....what happened to Michael? Where does Michael go now that he's not the killer? B/C before he seemed to be a monstrous zombie....so he can't be normal again.....can he?
