Halloween 6 (Producer's Cut)
Okay to start, this version is way better than the one that was released in theaters. Although I don't remember much of that version, I do remember it being disappointing. This producers cut in my opinion has to be one of the best in the series, aside from the first of course.
For those of you who don't know much about this cut, it has about 45 mins of unseen footage, like a different beginning and ending. I don't know why exactly they didn't release this version to theaters, because I'm sure if they did they would have made more money. These cuts are kind of hard to come by, but if you talk to the right people or check eBay you might find a copy. The copy I had wasn't the best quality, but I could still see what was going on and that's all that mattered to me; although, it would have been nice to see it clearer.
Anyway, the changes that is in this film make the plot more interesting and keeps you in suspense through most of the scenes. It's interesting on how they explained Michael was so unstoppable. Makes sense I guess. A lot better than some dumbass demon inside your body, like in Jason Goes to Hell. Now that's a waste. Watching this film just made me realize how badass Michael Myers really is. Having watched this it got me really anxious on the upcoming sequel; which brings me to another point. If you see this film and think about the ending of H2O it would make a lot more sense on how Michael can return in a part 8. I think those of you who've seen this know what I'm talking about.
I also really enjoyed this film because it seems darker than the previous films. I don't remember how the version that was released in the theaters ended, but the ending to this one was excellent -- Makes you wonder how different H2O would have been if this version was released in the theaters. Probably would have stayed the same actually, since they ignored the previous sequels anyway.
OVERALL
This film has to be one of the best in the series. If you're a fan, I suggest you do some hunting for this version. You wont be disappointed.

This film is definitely still one of the worst in the Halloween series but it is an astounding improvement over what was put out.
For many Halloween fans this was the holy grail to get in the series due to its rarity.
Its the 2nd worse film in the series, the commercial cut is the worst. But its still a fun if unusual little movie and a bad Halloween is still better than most other series films.
i love the remake i think its masterpiece!!!

frustrated horror fan =(
But they also sell other cool rarities, like the Fantastic Four movie, The Video Dead, both series of Spaced, and all sorts of stuff.
