Synopsis:

My edit of Halloween (2018) aims to tighten up the pacing while eliminating some of the more polarizing elements of the film like Sartain wearing Michael's mask. I also made a point to eliminate some of the more cringeworthy lines throughout when possible and added in a deleted scene to help with a bit of character development. Doesn't reinvent the wheel but also not a minor edit that took an hour to do.

Intentions:

Halloween (2018) may have been my most anticipated movie of all time. While I left the theater thrilled with the movie I had just seen, the faneditor in me never feels completely content. I knew there were pacing issues and some mind boggling choices made. There were also some lines that made me roll my eyes instantly. I anxiously awaited the movie to have a home release so I could create a definitive version for myself and hopefully for others as well.

Change List:

1) Trimmed opening scenes in Smith's Grove. Dialogue now plays over the opening titles. 2) Cut Aaron yelling "SAY SOMETHING" to end opening scene. 3) Used a different section of the Halloween 2018 main theme to play over the opening credits. 4) Cut Ray saying he got peanut butter on his penis. 5) Trimmed Ray talking about a guy getting Allyson pregnant. 6) Cut Dave saying the phrase, "cold blooded murderlated." 7) Cut Laurie referring to Michael as "The Shape" at the restaurant. 8) Cut entire scene with hunter and son stumbling upon the bus crash. 9) Cut Hawkins finding the hunter's dead body at the crash site. 10) Added in deleted scene with Allyson and her friends at school on Halloween morning. 11) Cut scene with Laurie breaking into Karen's house. 12) Added breathing sound effects from Halloween (1978) while Michael is stalking Vicky outside her window. 13) Cut Vicky trying to scare Julian by having a fake conversation with the boogeyman. 14) Edited out Sartain wearing Michael's mask. 15) Trimmed Bahn Mi sandwich scene. 16) Cut Laurie saying "Happy Halloween Michael" before attacking him.
