My “hybrid cut” of Halloween 6

In case anyone’s interested, I made my own fan edit of Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. If you’d like to see it, leave a comment and I’ll message you the link. I only request that you already own the two official cuts on Blu-ray! Here are the main details of my cut:

  • T-Cut ending (with the Thorn dialogue between Loomis and Wynn from the P-Cut mixed in with some of the dialogue from the T-Cut).
  • Opening title sequence from P-Cut (mixed with opening credits from T-Cut so that it goes by quicker).
  • All of the extra Loomis scenes from the P-Cut (except for the end).
  • Scene from T-Cut when Jamie walks around in the barn and sees Michael lit up by flashes of lightning and disappears, then it cuts to the P-Cut so that Michael stabs her instead of drilling her to death.
  • Breakfast scene starts out with P-Cut and then switches to T-Cut when Kara’s dad slaps her (so Danny holds the knife to his grandpa’s stomach without hearing “the voice” or seeing Michael outside).
  • I fixed the part in the breakfast scene when Mrs. Strode mispronounces Kara’s name by replacing it with audio from a later scene where she says it correctly.
  • All death scenes are from the T-Cut (except for Jamie’s).
  • I removed all the “flash cut” editing from the T-Cut.
  • The song “And Fools Shine On” plays during the college scene and end credits.
  • During Jamie’s flashback/dream sequence in the hospital, I removed the shot that shows Michael about to impregnate her and replaced it with other footage, so now it’s a mystery who the father is (or maybe the baby is the result of a science experiment which is suggested at the end of the T-Cut).
  • I used the P-Cut version of the scene when Kara and Danny run away from Michael after being in the Myers house, which has the more normal “Shape Stalks” music, but I added in the shots from the T-Cut that show Michael lit up by flashes of lightning as he chases them.
  • Music from both cuts is used
  • End credits start out with the P-Cut then switch to the T-Cut so that everyone who worked on the film gets credit, regardless of which version they worked on.

I primarily used the Producer’s Cut Blu-ray because it’s better quality and looks more natural than the theatrical cut. Also, since the two versions have different color grading, I didn’t want to switch back and forth because it might look strange, so a lot of the theatrical cut scenes are actually the Producer’s Cut mixed with the audio from the theatrical cut. Some of these scenes are a little bit longer in the Producer’s Cut so I had to edit them so that they’d match the theatrical cut. I spent a lot of time making sure everything flowed smoothly, like blending the audio so that it’s not noticeable when it switches from one version to the other.

Funny, I have seen only the cut where the Thorn Cult isn’t explained (not sure which one that is) and I’m totally fine with it. I have no desire to see the other one. Even with this cut, the movie ranks among the best I have seen in my life. Seriously.

It has such a tense Halloween atmosphere that it falls into a category of very limited number of movies that kept my interest for the whole running time. Not a single minute excluded.
