Halloween 8 b WORKPRINT 2002

PLEASE SEED & LEAVE COMMENTS, + FEEDBACK ON ALL MY STUFF YOU DOWNLOAD, THANKS & ENJOY



INCLUDES BOTH original & remastered version In the rough cut, the opening credits were different. The film's original opening featured footage from a home video of the Myers', featuring Peter and Margaret Myers in 1962 with their three children, Judith, Michael, and a new-born Laurie, having fun in the back yard of their house. Michael can be seen in the clips trying to divert the camera away from him, as he does not want to be filmed. However, Peter manages to get him to face the camera, and zooms in on Michael's face. The shot continues zooming through Michael's "black" eyes and opens up in the sanitarium hallway. This whole sequence is to the tune of an old fifties song "Darling Angel". Also, the ending was different. Instead of taking Michael to the morgue, a woman CSI starts to investigate in the ruins of the Myers house. She leans down and shines her flashlight down into a dark crevice and Michael jumps up at her. She screams and the credits start rolling.

Comparison between the uncut workprint (title: Halloween - The Homecoming) and the uncut Theatrical Version by Highlight (title: Halloween - Resurrection; FSK 18, rental DVD). The Homecoming-Workprint is pretty similar to the finished Resurrection-cut. There are only little important changes and not a single violence cut in Resurrection. But there are other, earlier versions.



You can tell the Homecoming-Version was not really finished yet. The Soundtrack is almost completely different and uses the music from its predecessors. Apparently, the scoring of the voices and sound effects wasn't complete, either. The footage of the Homecoming-Version was extremely bad and had many image- and soundjumps. So it was not easy to make exact time designations for the workprint. To prevent confusion, I decided to leave it out and only took the timecodes of the Resurrection-DVD as a clue.

0:00:



Homecoming starts with a home video of Myers, the camera slowly approaches the demonic face of little Michael. In the background, the song from the original Halloween plays. The Resurrection-Version only rolls in the opening credits here.

The length of the video is roughly 42 seconds.

In the Resurrection-Version, Michael walks down the hallway

for nine more seconds.

Before the line "We're in!" in the Resurrection-Version, the blonde

"No!"

The screen with the e-mails looks differently in both versions. The

text in the mail differs in both versions

20:45:



In Resurrection, Sara's friend slanders about her (voiceover) as

she enters the door, Homecoming misses this. There is no footage

missing, though. 49:25:



In Resurrection, the guy says "I can be a camera" to the girl,

Homecoming is silent here. Footage is identical. 51:52:



The scene with the two Michaels was changed in its effect. In the

Homecoming-version, the wrong Myers directly turns startledly,

while in Resurrection he turns 2.5 more seconds slowly and

then startledly.

53:25:



Only in Resurrection the redhead calls her boyfriend: "Hey Jim!",

then she takes a few steps toward the hole and says: "You gotta see

this!". In Homecoming, you don't hear anything, again. 0:57:52:

different for a few seconds. 0:58:32:

the darkness and pulls the screaming woman into the abyss.

He shouldn't have said that!
