Tell me the difference between the theatrical version and the producer's cut version.

Watching both versions, the difference is quite big, especially the ending is completely different.

In the theatrical version, Jamie hid the child in a cabinet, and then was killed by an electric drill on the spot after encountering Michael in the basement. In the cutting version, Jamie was stabbed by Michael in the barn but did not die. The next day, Dr. Loomis found him and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but was shot and killed by a black-clothed cultist in the hospital. .

The clipping version said that the child was born to Jaime by Michael X, who was instigated by the cultists (a few shots hinted that the child was Michael's.) The theatrical version did not have this content.

The biggest difference is the ending, since the Kara family was captured by the cult, the plot was completely different. In the theatrical version, the last protagonist and his party fight Michael in the hospital, and the final scene in the cutting version is a cult altar. In the cut-off version, Kara was sacrificed on the altar by the cultists, but Tommy suddenly appeared and rescued Kara and the baby and child. After that, facing Michael's pursuit, Tommy defeated the magic with magic and released it with the rune. He escaped after being cursed by Michael, who then captured the cult bishop (Doctor Wayne) and fled after changing clothes with him. Dr. Wayne passed his thorn rune to Dr. Loomis before he died; theatrical version Michael slaughtered the cult doctor in the operating room (this scene very induced photosensitive epilepsy), Tommy and his party were chased to a laboratory, and then compared with the use of magic to counteract the cutting version, the theater version directly physical During the exorcism, Tommy picked up and beat Michael with the big iron pipe, and made up for it a few times. Finally, when Dr. Loomis came, he found that Michael was gone again, and then Dr. Loomis screamed (it is estimated that the doctor is dead, After all, the actor has passed away and can no longer appear in the future), and the movie is over.

In general, the plot in the cut-off version is more complete, and there are fewer bloody scenes; while the theatrical version is more exciting. (There are a lot of bloody scenes missing in the editing version. For example, in the movie version, Cara’s father was electrocuted by Michael, but there are no headshots in the editing version. In addition, there is no such thing as Jayme being drilled to death by a drill bit and massacred in the operating room. plot), but the dew point shot has both versions.

In addition, there are some differences in details. In the editing version, there are more scenes and dialogues that are irrelevant. For example, at the beginning, Danny had a nightmare, and Carla made him a little joke like "the devil go away", etc. and so on

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers quotes

  • [Opening narration]

    Tommy Doyle: When Michael Myers was six years old, he stabbed hs sister to death. He was locked up for years in Smith's Grove Sanitarium, but he escaped. Soon after, Halloween became another word for mayhem! One by one, he killed his entire family, until his nine-year-old niece, Jamie Lloyd, was the only one left alive. Six years ago - Halloween night - Michael and Jamie vanished. Most people believed them dead but I believe someone hid them away. Someone who keeps Michael, protects him... tries to control him. If there's one thing I know, you can't control evil. You can lock it up, burn it, and bury it, and pray that it dies, but it never will. It just... rests awhile. You can lock your doors, and say your prayers, but the evil is out there... waiting. And maybe, just maybe... it's closer than you think!

  • Beth: We are not going to allow the powers that be tell us what to do anymore. For years Halloween represented everything wrong with Haddonfield, but Michael Myers is gone. There is no Boogeyman.

    Barry Simms: Dang Tim! Does she get this riled up in the sack? I bet she wears crotchless panties and barks like a dog!
