I just watched the Director's Cut last night. It is the workprint, but it is NOT THE WORKPRINT; make sense? It's a combination of the two. It includes all the scenes in the workprint that were NOT in the theatrical, PLUS it also has these that were in the theatrical, but not the workprint:

3. A scene of Brackett pulling up alongside the girls as they walk home. Brackett offers a ride, which only Annie accepts.
4. The graveyard scene with Sid Haig.
7. Loomis buys a gun
9. A scene where Brackett explains how he knows who Laurie Strode’s real family is (a much needed addition as it is never explained in the workprint how she came to be with that family or how Loomis would know where to find her).

PS.
Monster Mash is not used in the introduction.
The death of Laurie's mother is more brutal, as opposed to the workprint version.
Bob is killed inside the house, as opposed to outside in the workprint.
The Laurie-shoots-Myers ending is the chosen ending, not the police-shoot-myers ending.

SO YES. There are three distinct versions... the Director's Cut being the most complete. Enjoy.

Wow, thanks man.

The reason I wanted to know, is because I didn't see the theatrical version, only the workprint. So of course, I want to see the one I haven't yet.

Thanks again. :)

Halloween: It was'nt that bad was it?

Watched this last night. I've noticed over the last few months its come in for a lot of flak on the forums. I did'nt think it was that bad. Sure you only had about a teaspoon of the suspense from Carpenters version & there was buckets of glop flying all other the place but with Rob Zombie at the helm it was pretty much what i thought it would be. Too be fair i'm no fan of slasher movies, once you've seen one group of dumb fuck teens get hacked & slashed the genre is pretty exhausted. Given a choice i'd watch Carpenters Halloween over RZ but it was nowhere near as bad as i was expecting from some of the rabid comments on this forum. I'm wondering if i should give THE FOG remake a chance or should i quit while i'm ahead?

It was better than I thought it was going to be. Actually, it was pretty damn good. I think what made it work was it was half prequel/half remake. The prequel was the best part, seeing Michael growing up in the insane asylum, and seeing Danny Trejo as the security guard. The remake portion was good, but definitely didn't live up to the original (then again, did you expect it to). What I thought was going to be my main problem, Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, didn't bother me much. It's not that I don't like McDowell, but I didn't think anybody could take on the role of Dr. Loomis besides Donald Pleasance (R.I.P.). But, he did a pretty good job. It's not fantastic, or even that memorable. But, for a remake, it was pretty damn good! I'd give it a 4/5.

I'll agree with YJ as far as the new Halloween. I liked the backstory of Michael Myers.....you almost felt bad for the crazy little bastard.The second half is just a "stalk & slash"....nothing new there.

As far as The Fog remake........I didn't like this one at all.It had NONE of the atmosphere of the original.

Yeah the first act was the best part of the film. by the way i was joking about THE FOG remake. Heard it was terrible PG 13 horror shite.
