Synopsis:

I edited Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) into one 97 minute movie, with a new prologue that explains how Michael "became" Captain Kirk. William Shatner was kind enough to provide the voice of The Shape (via dialog samples). I also added a funky new soundtrack.

Intentions:

I'm a huge fan of John Carpenter and Willliam Shatner. I thought: Michael Myers wears a Captain Kirk mask... Why not put Kirk under the mask as well?

Change List:

added Darth Awesome disclaimer at beginning new opening credits added William Shatner dialog throughout added new diegetic soundtrack throughout added Star Trek theme over two scenes Halloween is shortened to 60 minutes added Star Trek episode #52 playing on TV added a scene from the extended TV edition, setting up Loomis' diagnosis that Michael Myers "is Captain Kirk" cut Laurie at school cut Tommy at school cut Loomis at payphone, finding dead body cut girls' long walk back from school cut Laurie's long walk to Annie's car cut entire sequence of Annie being hunted (changing clothes, getting stuck in the laundry room, etc.) cut "what's the boogeyman?" scene cut Loomis scaring kids cut Brackett and Loomis waiting at house cut Laurie's "long walk" across street New seamless transition into Halloween II Halloween II is shortened to 35 minutes Cut Loomis warning neighbor "you don't know what death is!"

Additional Notes:

I approached Kirk Kills like it was a "lost film" from 1982. What if Michael Myers was obsessed with Star Trek and thought he was Captain Kirk? I had to change the timeline to accommodate this. I moved the events of Halloween forward 5 years, so that young Michael could be exposed to Star Trek during its original airing on TV (1967). The rest of the film takes place in 1982, so I picked songs that would have been playing on the radio in that year. All the songs on the soundtrack parallel the action in some way, and they play counterpoint to the somber tone, turning it comedic. Michael never speaks, so I knew I would have plenty of opportunities to insert 'ADR' lines via William Shatner samples. I streamlined the flow of Halloween and Halloween II, eliminating scenes that didn't allow Kirk to quip or kill (his two favorite things to do).

Other Sources:

I used a scene from the Halloween extended TV edition and two brief clips from Star Trek TOS. I sourced my Captain Kirk dialog from the original TV series and the first 6 Star Trek films. I added several new songs to the soundtrack, which play in diegetic fashion -- via car radios, etc. I used music from Steve Miller Band, Grover Washington Jr., Blue Oyster Cult, George Benson, Bad Company, Marvin Gaye, A Taste Of Honey, Donna Summer, Dazz Band, Scorpions, Rockwell, and Air Supply.
