Halloween is just a few days away. I enjoy spending this time of the year pigging out on all the cheesy horror films running on TV all week long. Anybody that knows me also knows that I love me some "Halloween 6". Ok, so the plot is an incoherent mess. No big deal. All the plot holes give it an ambiguous mystique. Plus, the film’s flashy, edgy style makes it as effective of a horror movie as I can think of. And don't forget the kick-ass "guitar twang", perhaps the best version of the classic "Halloween theme" made. I spent most of my childhood trying to locate the rare “Producer’s Cut” version of the film, which fills in the plot holes and has something that actually resembles a plot. After about 10 years of searching, I finally bought it… only to realize that I preferred the insanity of the original cut.
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
While browsing the net a few months ago, I was horrified to learn that there is a whole separate cut of the film in existence. Dubbed, “The Platinum Cut”, it more closely resembles the theatrical version but with added gore and even more altered scenes. While the movie itself is quite exceptionally rare, a few scenes have oozed their way to the internet. The new version of the orderly getting his face smashed is THE MOST outrageous thing ever committed to film. Enjoy!
