Watch the Alternate 'Halloween II' Ending

Halloween II was not that really good. I was not completely disappointed, but not really pleased with it.

There was a lot that could've happened or could've been fleshed out, but I digress.

However, I just learned there was a different ending to the flick.

Bloody Disgusting has the alternate ending to this movie, but first, here's the original.


Here's the alternative ending


It's interesting. I like the song and love the "White Witch and Horse" image.

Folks preferred Death over a Killer Holiday Maniac


Maybe this is will convince Rob to leave the Halloween series alone. It came in 3rd place, the twice as stupid, The Final Destination hit number 1, with Inglourious Basterds holding on in 2nd place.
Warner Bros. and New Line's "The Final Destination" in 3-D was the destination of choice at the weekend box office, easily beating the Weinstein Co.'s "Halloween II" in grossing $28.3 million from 3,121 runs on the strength of the upcharge for a 3-D ticket.

"Halloween" grossed $17.4 million from 3,025 theaters to come in No. 3, behind "Destination" and the Weinstein Co.'s own "Inglourious Basterds," which held well and placed No. 2 in its second sesh.

I saw both failed Horror flicks in earlier screenings and I realized that Horror is in a State of Emergency.

I just saw Halloween 2 and...


I just saw Halloween 2... And I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I didn't completely hate, but I didn't love it either.

However, I will keep my review semi-vague by using pros and cons

Pros
  • Love the use of the mother and the White Horse. Throughout the movie, you see Michael's mother in a ghostly haze pulling a white horse. It's suppose to be a symbol peace in Michael's head.
  • Rob's use of music is always great.
  • You felt the small town aura of Haddonfield and chill of the fall season.
  • Love Danielle Harris... She will always be Jamie.
Cons
  • Laurie was no Sidney Prescott. She was a bit whiny and boring. But the actress playing her is great.
  • It's a year later and Michael is coming back. But where did he go? Why did he leave? It didn't make since for him to leave town for a year without completing his dark mission.
  • He's shot in the head! How do you come back from that?
  • I understands that Michael kills to kill, but it seems Michael was killing to eat up the spare time in the flick. Some of his kills didn't make sense for the story's sake. (i.e. The stripper club scene, the van scene and the hillbilly scene)
  • Michael spent a good chunk of the flick just walking to Haddonfield and killing folks along the way... And eating a dog for a midnight snack.
  • This movie made a mockery out the Dr. Loomis character. I was highly disappointed in how he was portrayed. He was like Gale Weathers from Scream.
  • I hate the giant version of Michael Myers, I wish he was just above average build.
  • Although they tried to give Michael a purpose for killing, it was easily lost half way into the movie.
  • The opening dream scene was way too long.
  • Laurie goes insane in the end, which could've been drawn out better.
  • The feel of Halloween was not there. This was far removed from the original, and that wasn't a good thing.
There was something not so complete about this movie. I left the theater feeling cheated and teased. It could have been better and we could've gotten more. I hope this is it. I think this re-imagining thing has ran its course.
