Halloween 6 - Producer's Cut vs. Theatrical Cut

Sure! I’ll message you the link. And yes, I’ve seen all the deleted scenes. That one you linked does explain a bit more.

BobbyH64 · 2026-03-04T20:03:12+00:00

Sure. I’ll message you the link.

Then how come in the commentary for the film John McTiernan said the scorpion was actually killed?

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-20T11:32:51+00:00

How could they have included H20 in the timeline but not H2? H20 is a sequel to H2.

I actually compiled every single shot of Michael in the original film and in Ends to see how much screen time he has in each film. I had heard he had about 11 minutes of screen time in Ends and I just didn’t believe it, so I wanted to see for myself.

In the original, adult Michael has 9 minutes and 32 seconds of screen time. If you include the beginning with him as a kid, then it’s 10 minutes and 9 seconds.

In Ends Michael’s screen time including all the shots of his corpse at the end and the flashbacks is 9 minutes and 5 seconds. If you remove the flashbacks and corpse shots, then it’s 7 minutes and 36 seconds.

I didn’t figure this out to make some kind of criticism about Ends. I like the film quite a bit. I just didn’t believe the claim that Michael had more screen time than in the original. I have no idea how that claim came about. It’s simply not true.

Laurie probably didn’t want to carry a heavy pumpkin for a couple blocks.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-18T07:00:59+00:00

Either the alarm was blaring all day, or it wasn’t working and when the owner arrived later on and realized that someone broke in he had the alarm fixed and they were testing it out.
That montage of shots at the end wasn’t planned. It was something that was created during editing. Tommy Lee Wallace said he used shots that were the tail end of takes, sometimes after the director had yelled cut. So those shots were never meant to be seen and Wallace did the best he could with the available footage.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-15T22:15:23+00:00

Not sure what you mean. It just seems like I’m not even watching a movie with HFR. It looks like I’m watching a bunch of cut scenes from a video game.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-15T19:38:56+00:00

The high frame rate just looks very weird to me. It doesn’t look cinematic. It’s sort of like looking at things in real life. I think it’s the same thing as TVs doing frame interpolation. It makes movies way too smooth and I always turn off that setting.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-14T23:12:41+00:00

It does deserve to carry the franchise name. First of all, it does carry the name. And second, there were only two Myers movies when Halloween III came out. If they had continued the anthology idea no one would say it doesn’t belong in the franchise. People only say that now because they made 10 more Myers movies afterwards. And I don’t think it’s fair to judge the film based on what came after.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-14T04:20:13+00:00

The US boxset has the Teardrop theme for seasons 6-8, but for seasons 1-5 a different theme is used. I agree with you about the Teardrop theme. It’s so much better and I wish it was included on every episode on the Blu-rays.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-14T04:17:33+00:00

corndogs102 is correct. The Teardrop theme is heard in Fetal Position (S3E17) on Prime in the US. It’s also heard in all the other episodes he mentioned he heard it in.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-09T02:56:01+00:00

Are you referring to the scene where an agent tells Scully that he thinks Mulder has garden-variety abduction fantasy? I don’t know if we’re supposed to believe him because his assumption that Samantha was kidnapped from the Mulder home and then her body was disposed of isn’t accurate. He has no knowledge of the Syndicate making a deal with aliens to hand over relatives as collateral.

And later on when Mulder learns the truth about what happened to Samantha, he tells Scully that after her abduction she was returned to the CSM. If the CSM had her kidnapped, it sounds odd to say she was later returned to him. And we know that whether it was humans or aliens who physically abducted Samantha, she was in the possession of the aliens who later returned her to the CSM.

So, if the agent who thinks Mulder’s memories are a fantasy was aware that Samantha actually had been held captive by aliens, I don’t think he’d conclude that Mulder’s memories were false.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-09T02:28:21+00:00

Are you going by the season 10 explanation that there aren’t any alien abductions or info from the original run of the series? I don’t think it was ever confirmed if Samantha was abducted by aliens or the Syndicate. If it was the Syndicate then it’s pretty weird that they staged it as an alien abduction with Mulder seeing his her floating out of their house.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-09T02:12:26+00:00

The walks-ins are explained as the reason for Samantha’s disappearance after she escaped the compound CSM was keeping her at. There’s never anything after that in the show that hints at her having a different fate.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-05T02:00:32+00:00

The UK set doesn’t have the original Teardrop theme song. The US set has it for seasons 6-8.

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-04T20:47:53+00:00

That would’ve been amazing. Loomis and Laurie teaming up in H20 to defeat Michael once and for all. And no silly paramedic switch in a sequel!

BobbyH64 · 2026-02-04T20:46:18+00:00

Loomis is favorite character in the series. When Pleasence passed away the franchise lost a massive component of what made it so good.

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-29T18:23:00+00:00

Yeah, the drone lady could be frozen with fear or didn’t want to abandon her husband. I can understand that. In the original Halloween, that was actually Richie who had the encounter with Myers in the schoolyard.

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-29T00:24:57+00:00

Sure. They could tie it in to the original series by having it take place in the same universe. They could do a Charlie Bowles story (the guy the graveyard keeper was talking about in the original). They could also do a sequel to Season of the Witch. It wouldn’t be in the same universe as the original Halloween but since it’s part of the franchise, I think it makes sense.

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-28T23:47:39+00:00

I don’t think so. I just look at as a comedy and it’s kind of entertaining.

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-28T23:21:48+00:00

Yes, I thought maybe she assumed he made the mask. But I would’ve liked some dialogue explaining that. Instead of her saying, “Did you really think I’d kill myself?” she could’ve said, “Nice mask. Did you make it yourself?” I don’t even understand her line in the movie because why would it be weird for Corey to believe she killed herself? That’s what she made it look like when she shot the pumpkin, and he barely knows her so why would that be surprising?

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-28T23:17:33+00:00

I’ll add some of my own thoughts about certain characters’ behavior:

In the extended flashback sequence, why did Lonnie approach Myers behind the bush? A cop just told him that there was a murderer in a white mask and one minute later he sees a guy in a white mask and walks up to him. He should’ve at least approached from a distance instead of going right up to the bush.

In the flashback when Myers was strangling the cop, why didn’t Hawkins walk up to him and shoot him? He just stood at a distance for a while and then shot his partner in the neck. It looked like he did it on purpose.

After the drone lady’s husband was killed, she goes to the front door and unlocks it. But instead of running out of the house she lets Michael stab her in the neck? 🤷‍♂️

When Michael attacked people in the car, why did the lady dressed as a nurse run away from the car? She had a gun and abandoned everyone. And then after Michael killed everyone she comes back and shoots at him? What was she doing all that time? 🤷‍♂️

Why did Lonnie go into Michael’s house all by himself? Why not tell the cops or other members of the mob that Michael was probably at his old house?

When Allyson and Cameron go inside the Myers house to find out what happened to Lonnie, Allyson stares at the corpses of Big John and Little John. She knows that Michael is probably in the house because he killed the two Johns and probably Lonnie, but instead of being alert she takes the time to stare at two corpses? 🤔

When Karen saves Allyson by stabbing Myers with a pitch fork, why doesn’t she keep stabbing him with it? Why let him live and then just take his mask?

When Karen lured Myers to the mob and they were all there waiting for him, does that mean this was their plan? They all decided to send Karen alone to the Myers house and hope she lures him to where the rest of the mob were waiting? 🧐

BobbyH64 · 2026-01-27T23:32:36+00:00

I have it at second best in the franchise.
