“Halloween’s End” almost has two strange and different endings

It’s been nearly three years since then The end of Halloween I’ve closed the book on reboot movies, but there’s still more to learn about them.

according to Disgustinga book that was recently published New Wave of Horror: 15 Years of Blumhouse Written by David Schilling reveals an alternate ending to the film’s ending Ends. In the theatrical version, Laurie Strode defeats Michael Myers in her home, then disposes of his body along with her granddaughter Allison and the people of Haddonfield in an industrial shredder. But there were different versions of that ill-fated tiff, and the reboot could have ended in a darker or more self-referential place.

This has been likened to a “conversion”, and she admitted it was perhaps “too dark and deep to satisfy the hunger of this 40-year journey”. As a result, she asserts that it would be better for Lori to be with Frank and have a happier ending.

But interestingly, Curtis also discussed the original ending (when it was titled Halloween dies) where Lori and Michael fight in a mask factory to manufacture his mask for the spooky season. In her words, this could have been the film’s way of saying: “We’re all monsters if we put on the mask. “We are not just Michael, we are all of us, if we wear the mask.” The location was ultimately “too intellectual for this ending”, but she stands by the intent and believes the ending they filmed which shows Michael’s mask in her house had a similar impact.

As BD pointed out, The end of Halloween exit David Gordon Green In 2023, he said he wrote an ending that was to take place in a factory owned by Silver Shamrock, a new company featured prominently throughout Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Despite loving the film and “wanting” to make the reference, he cut it because it would have just been fan service for a subset of viewers who understood the reference.
