What did ya think of the alt. ending to Zombie’s H2 film???
I think it makes more sense this way. At the end it comes full circle and they die together.
Yeah it made more sense and it was way more intresting!
Did Laurie become like her brother? or did she just walk out and picked up the knife becuse that way she knew that the cops would shoot her if she try to murder Loomis?
It could have been Suicide… It could have been a try to a cold blooded murder? who knows…
or its just me thinking to much? haha anyway it was a good ending for the movie 
this ending had much more impact and didnt have that scene of Laurie walking out with Myers mask on, which i thought wasnt handled as good as it could have been would have been cooler to have her sitting in the shack next to Michael with the mask on, or holding it in her hadn staring at it…
Complete crap.
Yup i agree ! I love RZ H2 ! but the alt ending was stupid…(Michael unmasked,Talking) Im sorry but no f**king way…Theater ending was 10 times better.
steven
Id say him taking his mask off to face Loomis and speak is better than him taking off his mask and crying ALA H5… 
Well you got a point there lol.
she didnt die
still shows her in the loony bin
I had mixed feelings about it, its “RZ’s vision” so whatever but i think they should have just ended with the overhead shot of everyone laid out, instead of showing her in the hospital…or are they leaving it open for H3??? hmmm
She wasn’t realy in an asylum. That was in her dying mind as she was fading out. Look at the large open halls that lead to the bed. Not a locked door in sight. Proves that as she died she was out of her mind. Perfect ending.
I have no problem with an H3, but i dont want them to touch this story. Just do a standalone Myers story like Nightdance, people will dig it and it will work.
It was no accident that Zombie made the Loomis character flawed and unlikeable…
In the final scene of the Directors Cut there are so many layers of emotion working toward the climax. Loomis finally gives into his conscience and redeems himself too little, too late. When Michael attacks Loomis it is from years of pent up vengeance and anger. Michael holds Loomis responsible for everything. For neglecting him, being tempted by fame and making a fortune off of the Myers family misfortune.
He is so full of rage that when he does utter the word “Die”, (speaking for the first time in the entire series) unbeknownst to most fans Zombie has given the audience, with that one word, a cinematic moment so full of power and meaning that most fans overlook it in favour of complaining that Michael should never speak.
Then when Laurie stands above Loomis and prepares to plunge the knife into him it too is in response to believing that Loomis is indirectly guilty for destroying her life, her family and her friends by neglecting Michael. Every action by Loomis in this movie has brought the characters to this moment. Therefore Loomis being intolerable throughout has a clearly defined purpose and isn’t just Zombie trying to make his character different from the Loomis of the original series. The Directors Cut ending really was more satisfying as it brought all three characters to the same fate through death.
i like to think of laurie dying with michael and loomis at the end, and that last white hall scene was just one last thought or vision in her half crazed fading mind.
even if that story is never touched from there, i dont like to think of laurie being that far gone and psychotic with the possibility of becoming a killer herself.
so i just prefer to think they all three died and write that last scene off as lauries ‘dying vision’.
amen spooky! you got a way with words bro…tell it like it is! 
Glad to know the ending now…lol
Also between us Zombie Halloween fans, This version of Laurie and Annie are far more interesting than Jamie Lees ever was. However that is no fault of Carpenters, Carpenters film is a masterpiece, the sequels, not so much. Rob had the opportunity to try to tie everything together much better because of all thats been established.
YES
haha we already know what you think.
Both endings i found pretty good actually. The whole speaking Michael i kinda get that, i dont have the biggest problem with it at to tell ya the truth. But in the Theatrical with Laurie dawning the Mask was a bit silly looking. Both had its ups and downs. but still quite good.
But i just wished in the end of the DCut Ending they had “Lauries Theme” playing rather than “Love Hurts” lol
first time i saw it i hated the theatrical ending.
after thinking though, i kinda like it. from a Horror standpoint it’s much more striking than just knowing the Shape is still out there. Instead Laurie, the girl we’ve followed to hell and back, is apparently to become the Shape herself. to me, that’s more horrifying, and this is a horror movie. Say what you like about it, RZ has truly made this Halloween his own, completely diverged different from the original.
now, i haven’t seen the DC ending yet, but from what i’ve read, i think it works too. It wraps up the story is the Myers family, and i can see why people would be happier with Laurie dying than with her succumbing to her brother’s curse.
