I used to binge-watch the entire Halloween series every October (except for part III: Season of the Witch, because for some reason the filmmakers decided it would be a solid idea to make a Halloween franchise movie without series-antagonist Michael Myers in that one.)
Incidentally, I have seen a few interesting variations of badly stitched-together versions of Halloween 6 (which you, the casual Halloween watcher, will possibly, but not likely, remember as the one in which we abruptly discover that our boy Mike is actually some kind of golem controlled by a cringy druidic cult known as The Cult of Thorn.)
Every version I've gotten my hands on has around 60% to 70% of the footage in a state that looks fairly on par with what you'd expect from a film made in 1994, but as the movie drags on, both the story and production quality of the film degrade rapidly. In addition, the movie is riddled with continuity errors and presents a thematic "gently caress it, just leave production equipment in the shot" aesthetic. There are multiple endings depending on which version you get - each and every version of this film ate poo poo from test audiences, so they just kept filming alternate storylines and endings post-post-production and never got it anywhere near right.
Posting about the flaws of Halloween 6 made me want to find out more about what went so wrong with this movie. To my delight, the Wikipedia page for Halloween 6 is a treasure trove and really sets the table for how this film was hosed before it even started filming. It's worth a read for any Halloween franchise fans.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween:_The_Curse_of_Michael_Myers
Just a few of many choice quotes:
"In 1990, screenwriter and long-time Halloween fan Daniel Farrands set out to write the sixth entry in the Halloween series. Farrands gave his horror film scripts to the producer of Halloween 5, Ramsey Thomas; impressed by his writing, Thomas set a meeting for Farrands with executive producer Moustapha Akkad."
"Evil Dead II co-writer Scott Spiegel was hired to direct the film with a new script being written by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino's script involved Michael Myers and the Man in Black fleeing Haddonfield together and going on a road trip down Route 66 while murdering people, but he was never officially hired and Spiegel later departed the project. Tarantino's rejected screenplay bears a resemblance with his screenplay for Natural Born Killers, which he was pitching to Miramax Films at the same time as he was writing the screenplay for Halloween 6."
"John Carpenter was asked to return at one point and proposed setting the film in a space station, but Moustapha Akkad rejected his proposal."
"Phil Rosenberg was the first writer hired for the film. His script, titled Halloween 666: The Origin, was hated by Akkad, who tossed the script across his room after he finished reading it."
"According to Farrands, there were around ten different drafts of his script written between June 1994 and the October 1994 film shoot, and much of the finale that appears in the theatrical version was not written by him, and had been written and shot in post-production under the supervision of Dimension Films."
"In early 1995, after filming and editing was completed, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (an R rated movie) was given a test screening in New York City to a group which "consisted primarily of fourteen-year-old boys." During the Q&A afterward, one of the audience members expressed great displeasure at the ending of the film, which entailed a Celtic ritual and the passing on of the "Curse of Thorn" to the Dr. Loomis character. As a result of the audience's disapproval toward the film's finale, the movie was rushed back into production, this time without Donald Pleasence, who died on February 2, 1995.
"Reshoots took place in Los Angeles, California in the summer of 1995. A. Michael Lerner replaced George P. Wilbur in the role of Michael Myers, as the studio executives wanted him to appear less bulky. (lol) This resulted in continuity errors as the last third of the film features a slimmer Myers."
"In addition to the re-shoots prompted by the poor test screening, the film also underwent significant editing in post-production, resulting in brisker pacing and a "flashier" cinematic style that favored "blood and guts," but, according to Farrands, ultimately resulted in a "more confusing" movie. According to writer Farrands, the stylized flash cuts prominent in the final theatrical cut of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers were not originally intended, and he likened the style of the final product to an "MTV video rather than a Halloween film." Composer Alan Howarth similarly called the final product a "fix job," with numerous elements of the production being in flux both during and after principal photography."
Halloween 3 is great regardless.
i'll read the rest tomorow

I find hundreds of people every day who haven't seen it because its may be too scary.
