Synopsis:
John Carpenter's Halloween Revisited: The Final Cut is the second part of a planned four-part fanedit series focusing on the storyline established in the recent H40 timeline, starting with Halloween 2018. This project presents a "canon" compliant, alternate extended version that lines up not only with the edits of this series but also most of the known continuities of the franchise: whether it is the H40 timeline, H20 timeline, or original timeline. I am proud to present: John Carpenter's Halloween Revisited: The Final Cut.

Additional Notes:
Instead of using any of the surround sound mixes based on John Carpenter modifications for the THX Edition, I created a hybrid mono mix using the mono theatrical mix from the Criterion Collection LD for Halloween, scene-specific audio for the TV version moments from the Extended Edition, and sequence-specific audio from Halloween II. I also created a Mono 2.0 mix from this new hybrid mono mix. I sourced the theatrical mono mix from my own personal copy of the Criterion Collection LD and synced it up to the Scream Factory 4K prior to this project, and decided to incorporate said sync-up for inclusion. The stereo mixes of Halloween: Extended Edition and Halloween II were mixed down to mono specifically for this project. The TV Version footage presented in this edit was upscaled from 480i to 1080p and the framerate converted from 29.97 fps to 24 fps using Topaz Video AI.
