All, thanks for watching this one. I put so much work into this video, because if it's going to be my last about H6, I want it to be special. As for my cut...IF YOU OWN BOTH CUTS...feel free to send me a dm on Twitter or FB. I don't want to get in any legal trouble. Anyway, thanks for watching. Thorn rules!!
Lee, this is my favorite halloween movie..I agree with all your points. Besides the thorn cult it gets everything right.. H6 Michael is the scariest Michael, then H20 comes out and ruins him...Great work!!
Also the halloween series died with Donald Pleasence...IT has not been the same since...
Thank you!
I would love to see your cut of the H6.
Drumdums very great review michael Meyers was way scarier in this movie
The franchise hasn't been the same since Donald passed. Great review!
Completely agree Beth. Miss him terribly.
Beth S. ik, except the next 2, it got better
in many ways donald was the glue to this series
That’s why it’s so awesome to just hear his voice in 2018 or see just a glimpse of an actor playing him in Kills. Makes the viewer feel more at home & puts them on board for the rest of the movie
@@cazeycroland4 I have major problems with Kills, but I totally agree. Seeing and hearing Donald in the movie was *kiss* perfection!
The Thorn mythology was a brilliant addition to the franchise, it raised new questions and mysteries and I believe added to the mystique of Michael Myers. The idea that Michael appears when the constellation of thorn appears… man, that’s just epic. This movie is underrated and the Thorn mythology is under appreciated.
H6 is my favourite Halloween movie.
Same here. It's nice to see fans that like H6 (fpr me it's Producer's Cut) as much as I do.
@@valeriebreidenstein8362 Oh yeah, it is so underrated.
To my shame I haven’t seen the Producer’s Cut yet. I’ve got the Theatrical Cut and the Bobby Digital Hybrid Cut. The Hybrid Cut is my favourite version as of yet.
I will get the Producer’s Cut eventually. I don’t think it will top the hybrid cut for me though. Mainly, because the full ritual scene is a bit tacky (I watched it on UA-cam). Like, Wynn’s cape is going hard in the cheese department, which is cool, I’m down with that. But I would have handled the cult element in a more subtle way and toned down the Hammer Horror vibe the Producers Cut has. The Hybrid Cut gives you the best elements from both movies.
The fact that H6 has all these different cuts as well is awesome. Such a fun movie to be a fan of.
This movie has one of the scariest moments in all Halloween films, when the Mom is looking out the window and sees her son going into the Myer's house it's just soooo creepy because you know she has to go over there to try and save her son, but she also knows the danger. It's just so counter to normal horror movie cliches (where we see someone do something dumb for a dumb reason). Great review! I'd love to see your cut of the film!
That scene is so pulse pounding. We rarely get scenes like that in horror films today.
This is definitely one of my favorites. It is the only one that still scares the shit out of me. The atmosphere is perfect and Michael is terrifying. I love it.
Completely agree. There are some chilling moments for sure in this one.
I actually really liked this movie, a decent sequel & it's probably the most atmospheric of the franchise!!!! The look & atmosphere is perfect for a Halloween movie & i liked Paul Rudd & i liked seeing the older veteran version of Sam Loomis & it's an exciting thrill ride in my opinion. It was always such a rare film to find on video bk in the day out of all the franchise, a true Cult film. Another great video with heart & depth
I honestly love the cinematography and atmosphere is the darkest since the first and has some of the most amazing scenes…I kind of hate how people resist this film so much…
It's such a divisive movie but I love Halloween 6. I love the atmosphere and we get the most brutal and terrifying Michael Myers since Halloween II which is really great. I also agree with you about "And Fools Shine On" being such a great song. I'm really happy for this movie introducing me to Brother Cane.
I freaking love Curse of Micheal Myers!!!! I just showed it to my mom for the first time and she had her eyes covered through a couple of scenes and believe me that woman is not easily scared. Very underrated movie.
This was the very first movie that introduced me to the Halloween franchise and Michael Myers. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. Watched it with my older cousin during the daytime and holy crap I felt so nauseous and absolutely terrified as soon as Myers appeared from the darkness to impale that woman on the wall. I was immediately disturbed and addicted! The music, the mask, the kills, the setting/mood/atmosphere was super impressive to me at the time.
Stoked for Halloween Ends next month!
Yes Myers was scary as hell in this.
The hospital massacre with the strobe light flashing was AWESOME!!!! One of my favorite moments of the series!
Hell yeah!!
I love and salute you sir. Halloween 6 is my favorite entry aside from part 2. I thought the mask was the closest we got to the original. In the theatrical. The thorn cult is meaningless but to me. That's a plus. Michael slaughters all of the thorn cult members to solidify that he isn't controlled by anyone. I appreciate the producer's cut for giving more scenes to Donald Pleasence. The man that was happy to play the character of Dr. Loomis until his death.
Hell yeah Andrew. That laboratory slaughter is one of the crowning moments in the franchise....and truly shows what Michael is capable of.
2 and 6 are my favourites as well. Great atmosphere in both flicks.
I adore both cuts but the ideal version is definitely a mix of the two.
“Incredibly sloppy story” says Cody while his favorite sequel is Halloween 3 where the entire final act is filled with plot holes lol
Wow you are the first person I've ever heard say something positive about this one. I remember, after I first binged the series, that "Curse of Michael Myers" came out among my top 3 favorites. Then I started questioning my own taste whenever I looked and saw that I was pretty alone in liking it. I actually liked it more than H20 which seems to be heresy. I stopped caring whether my favorite films are objectively "good" a long time ago, but man it is still refreshing to hear positive opinions on this. Thank you!
Oh yeah I never bought into the hype of H20 even when it came out. Same goes for Curse with the hate. I love it and have always defended it.
Well six is better than five and Resurrection.
From when Kara sees her friend gets stabbed, till they get back into Tommy's house is freaking intense.
Agreed!
Definitely one of my favorite sequels and movies in general of all time. Gets waayy too much hate for what it is. Daniel Farrands only had good intentions and wanted to give Myers a reasonable backstory. This was the best Myers imo, with stunt guys: George P. Wilbur, A. Michael Lerner & Brad Hardin giving all their talents to the character, portraying him as a badass. Also one of the first and only times you ever see a very angry and power-walking (chase through the underground hospital) Shape. It never gets old. I at least wish they would've continued the story in comic-form or books, because I really wanted to see the rest of Danial Farrands' vision. Oh well, nice revisit/review!
Something about that walk @11:43 that gives me a creepy ass vibe. I know I'd be scared shitless if I saw him coming at me the way he did in that scene lol
Agreed. I think George and A. Michael Lerner both had great walks.
Halloween 4, 5, and 6 are still my favorite, the Thorn aspect makes them interesting watches
Hell yeah Thorn trilogy for life!
Amen brother
I wish they had done the planned sequel to the Pcut version as it was to get much deeper into the Thorn stuff!
Halloween 6 The Producers Cut is the best film in the franchise and i WISH they had done the sequel that was planned for it!
Oh wow. Better than the original?
I agree. H6 producers cut was the film in the series that explained everything. Love it
Oh how I wish they had done the sequel!
Yes I like it more than the original even. it has many simliar things and would have had more if they did not cut up Farrands original ideas
I agree I wish there was a sequel after Halloween 6 ending
The curse was the scariest and darkest if you ask me!!! Michael was brutal and the mask was the best and the creepiest!! If I see this Michael I’m like you I’m running and getting the hell away!! Another great review keep that shit up
Thank you Brandon!
I find this Halloween to be one of the better Halloween films in the series, it has solid acting, great practical gore effects, and a great soundtrack. Also I’ve always found Halloween Resurrection as a guilty pleasure, it’s a fun watch for me.
Oh man Resurrection does get me angry, but it's not the worst horror movie.
Drumdums I can agree with that. It would be great if it wasn’t for certain characters, I wish they didn’t kill Laurie right off the bat too.
I'm a huge Halloween series fan and surprisingly saw Halloween 6 just last night for the first time ever!!! I really enjoyed it. Maybe it doesn't make a lot of sense but the atmosphere, Michael Myers and cast are very good👌🏼🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
It doesn’t make sense to me on how this is my favorite killer and franchise but hate 90% of the movies lmao. That’s how you know you have one HELL of a character. I love Michael no matter what. Bad movies or not, it’s always been and always will be my guilty pleasure lol
I actually love just about all the movies for different reasons. Except Resurrection.
I almost teared up at the bit about Dr. Loomis. Rest his soul.
Yeah it's such a sad ending.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews yeah very sad nobody can do a better job as Loomis except for Donald Pleasant.
I agree that Meyers had the most dangerous ego in this film just straight up brutality. RIP Donald, there will never be another dr loomis as good as you.
RIP Donald indeed. Loomis was such a great character.
Halloween 6 has in my opinion the best atmosphere dont you love that blue tone to it Lee?
Hell yeah. That tone is perfect for the Myers mask.
I agree. It does have the best atmosphere.
Remember seeing this in the theater .. never minded this one . Definitely a cool lore filled Halloween
Yeah so glad I got to see it in the theater back in the day.
I absolutely adore this movie, it was the first Halloween movie that I'd seen.
It terrified me.
The gritty look to it suits it greatly, the chase scene all the way to the barn is my favorite chase scene in the franchise, the tweak of metal in the score really suits the look and overall tone to it.
As for Michael......my goodness, he's my favorite Michael, the mask, the way he walks, his mannerisms "kisses the air" perfect.
The surgery room kill is my favorite scene in the whole franchise, the lighting is out of this world.
You can see how tired Michael is of chasing Jamie for all these years, he makes sure there's no coming back for her.
I'm jealous bit happy for you that you got to see this in the theater.
Okay so after having recently revisited Halloween 6 after not having watched it for many years, I absolutely fell in love with the film; despite certain parts of the Curse Of Thorn storyline ruining the Michael Myers mystique for me. I totally agree with you about the portrayal of The Shape really making this film something special. And just like you said the atmosphere is also absolutely fantastic as are the kills and music. I too much prefer the theatrical edition of the film over the producers cut but your own cut of the film sounds pretty awesome Lee. This is a terrific revisited video...loved it!
Your third review of this movie... you really do love it. 😂
This movie has great lighting and atmosphere, acting, kills, an amazingly brutal Michael, great characters... technically, it is excellent. Regardless, the story is pretty bad in my eyes. I don’t like the idea that Michael is cursed, but I’d be okay with it if everything made sense. It doesn’t, though, and the plot is what keeps this from ranking it very high compared to some other sequels. I still enjoy watching it, though.
This is your best review of this movie, and you really went into great detail. These revisited reviews are so long and detailed, and I love them. So many years after you’ve started your channel, your reviews continue to get better. So glad I subscribed to you so long ago!
3rd and last. When you review movies, you never realize how much you learn along the way. And often times, the movies that we love the most are the first that we review, which I think is a mistake on my part. But I had to go back and get this one "right" once and for all.
Drumdums
Completely fair. Great review!
I am in late in seeing this video that would be awesome to see The Blue Myers Cut awesome job on creating these videos
Thank you! Just shoot me an email Drumdums@yahoo.com.
Lee two thumbs way up! This made my night. Great job editing this. I love Halloween 6 so much! And most of my opinions are right in line with yours! Thanks lee
I tried to make it special for you brother!
I was actually watching Halloween 6 the producers cut when I got the notification you uploaded this lol
Awesome!!
Wish they had done the sequel planned for the Pcut version
It was so much fun to hear about your hybrid cut! Awesome video and love Halloween 6! I prefer the producers cut except for the ending. The ending to the producers cut pissed me off because Michael getting stopped by rocks was stupid!😂 Also didn't like the fact that Michael is the dad of Jamie's baby
Michael being stopped by rocks is the dumbest thing ever haha.
Anjew Libby totally agree. It is pretty cheesy and the hardest bit to accept for me.
I wish I had the drumdums cut of the movie
Yeah me too it's very interesting to watch actually.
Halloween 6 is my ultimate guilty pleasure movie
I'm not ashamed of it at all. Love it!
Good to know people are still appreciating the Halloween films, great vid by the way
Brother thank you for the review I am part of the cult of Voorhees. You have helped me to understand the Halloween franchise I will go and sit down and watch all of them again thanks again awesome review
I love this franchise soooo deeply.
Great Video Lee! I’m glad you did another revisited on this movie also you should rank all The Actors Who Played Michael Myers.
Great idea!
YAY!!! I made it into the video! Lol thanks but so far I'm loving this revisited!
Hell yeah man. Love your energy in your videos! Thanks Austyn!!
Drumdums Thank you Lee!
I been looking for that Brother Cane song for years. Paul Rudds character was badass and had funny moments. That made this movie more fun to watch. Awesome video.
Thanks for watching!
When it first came out, it was my favorite Halloween. People hated on it because it was gory and tried to imitate Friday the 13th to much. While I never liked the Thorn subplot, the atmosphere, tone, etc was great!
Such a great review man. Loved it. I gotta get that cut off of you somehow.
Thanks Mason!
And neat work on your hybrid cut!!!!
Thank you!
Oooh hell yeah this is what I needed after a long day, brings backs memories to the first Halloween 6 vid is when I found this wonderful channel
Awesome man! Glad you enjoyed it.
The film has grown on me over the years, I hated it when I saw it in theaters. I do like the Producers Cut a lot more. It makes a lot more sense. In the theatrical its debatable whether Micheal was ever part of the cult. In the Producers we see him standing with the cult, plus Loomis is a more central character.
New subscriber here. Love the videos, been binge watching them the last few days. Gotta say, Halloween 6 is super underrated. Just watched it today and forgot how intense it was. Might be in my top 3 for the Halloween franchise behind the original and 4.
Halloween 6 captured the Halloween sprit the best out of all the sequels including Halloween 2018 .
Damn straight!
I love this movie so much it’s one of my favorite Halloween movies too
A Micheal Learner is a close second favorite Myers for me
I think this is my favourite in the series, due to the potential it had and what could have followed (I personally saw Steven growing up into being Michael's anti heroic counterpart, wanting revenge on Michael and the cultists for what they did to Jamie).
My personal opinion is that both cuts have things that work and things that don't. For example, I like that Donald Plesance had more of a role in the Producers cut and the emphasis on the Strode family.
What I liked in the theatrical cut was how the curse ultimately played out like a Red Herring; it was nothing more than a theory that Tommy came up with but is never verified and it gives way to Michael being pure evil as usual (I came to this conclusion by seeing both cuts side by side and noticing all the specifics that made Michael out to be a puppet being ommited in the theatrical version).
I'd also say that Michael's evil is emphasized when he kills Jamie in the theatrical version, as he not only does it in a brutal fashion, but he does while mocking her previous attempt to reach out to him. Hell, in that version the cultists all turn out to be some kind of ruse while Wynn was just a guy fascinated by Michael's evil.
This is my favorite Halloween 💯
It's awesome.
Hey man, I loved Michael Myers in this one too, he was so damn menacing and downright terrifying, all the way my favorite Michael Myers
25:13. You watch Halloween 6 more than the original and Halloween 4? 💔😔
You should be punished, locked in a room, and forced to watch Halloween: Resurrection on repeat for saying such blasphemy! I'm only kidding. Seriously, though, I'm glad that you love H6. Thanks for another awesome video! When it comes to horror movies on UA-cam, you're the best!
Hahaha I'm part of the cult of Thorn!!!
Being forced to watched Halloween Resurrection is ruthless. Where is your mercy?!
Drumdums I am such a fan of this film will I got the curse of thorn symbol from Michael Myers tattoo on my arm
I came back to watch this again because I really enjoy your enthusiasm for Halloween 6 and I also wanted to make a comment about something you said which I completely agree with. And that is that the theatrical cut stands on its own apart from the others. That is definitely true and I think that’s a major factor in why there are two cuts of the film. The Producer’s Cut relies heavily on the previous films, with elements like the flashback of Jamie in Halloween 5 as well as some dialogue that references events in Halloween 5 in more detail. Also the music is very similar to the original, as you pointed out. In this respect, it can be argued that the Producer’s Cut is more of a proper follow-up than the theatrical cut.
However, I feel that the theatrical cut fulfills two roles very effectively. And that is being a proper sequel with just enough backstory while still being able to stand on its own. I think the forces behind the theatrical cut felt like the film would be too bogged down and tied to the last one for general audiences to be able to enjoy it.
This line of thinking makes perfect sense to me and I believe it is a huge reason why there are two cuts. We know they wanted to add some intensity and make it less cheesy but they also removed certain things that would tie it to the previous films. Like the number 6 in the title, the Jamie flashback scene, dialogue referencing past events that isn’t really necessary, and the score that resembles the first film. I really enjoy the music for the theatrical cut. It really gives it a nice 90s vibe, especially the song “And Fools Shine On,” which I love. It really fits the film well. Whoever decided to use that song had a stroke of genius. I can’t completely put my finger on it but for some reason it works perfectly in the film and also in the end credits. I wish this song were on the soundtrack. I own the expanded 2 CD soundtrack but I also just ordered the original 1995 CD release because I’ve heard it before and I really like how the music flows together. The 2 CD set is cool because it has everything but for some reason there’s something about the original condensed release that I like a lot. I think I’ll add “And Fools Shine On” to it to get the full experience. ;)
Anyway, back to the movie! I feel that changing the last 15 or so minutes was brilliant. The P-Cut ending is like a soap opera that greatly diminishes the film. If they still wanted to go in that direction with the reshoots, they should’ve given it a very dark, creepy, gothic look and had Myers massacring all the cult members before attacking Wynn. It would’ve still been bogged down by a lot of cult stuff but it would’ve been way more effective. As it stands, I’m perfectly happy with the theatrical ending and the lack of information we are given. I just assume Wynn was trying to harness evil by performing rituals and doing genetic experiments.
So all of these changes really help to make the theatrical cut of Halloween 6 its own entity. You could watch this film having only seen the first couple and it would make sense. Hell, I think someone could watch it without ever having seen any of the others and it would still make sense. We’re given just enough backstory to be able to figure out what’s going on without getting bogged down in the details. It’s still a great, creepy slasher film with awesome atmosphere. Anyway, didn’t mean to make such a long post. But I just really enjoy your videos and I share your love for this movie! :)
I agree. This movie really does stand on it's own. It's very unique and sticks out from the pack. Thanks for coming back man! Really appreciate that!
I have to say I picked up the TOTS H6 mask the other day and I think it's one of their better ones. I love the hair, sculpting, and paintwork on the mask. I'm glad I added it to my collection.
Dude, since watching this video over a year ago I've become a huge Brother Cane fan! They've got some killer songs, but And Fools Shine On is an absolute classic🙌
Yeah me too. I've always loved And Fools Shine On so much.
Good video Lee! :D
I adore the H6 Producers Cut. The ending is a little lacklustre, but it does fit with the film as a whole well enough so I accept it in a way. The atmosphere is the best of all the Halloween films. This film has totally stood the test of time despite the madness of its production. I honestly love it more than the original. 4-6 are my favourites. I'd love them to continue from 6 but I don't think it will ever happen.
Also, I honestly wish Danielle Harris was in this film. She's criminally underrated by the people behind this franchise.
Edit: So cool you did your own cut btw. I do wish the Producers Cut's ending had more vamp like the theatrical. It's the one thing it's missing alongside Danielle. Want to also say I agree that JC Brandy really did a good job as an older Jamie.
I always wonder what it would have been like with Danielle in the role. But yeah I didn't mind JC at all.
Danielle Harris ought to be in every Halloween film, the fact they didn't cast her as Laurie's daughter in the 2018 film annoys me a lot.
lee, this is the first Halloween movie
I ever watched and is the iconic movie that got me into horror and to be a huge Michael fan! I believe it’s the first horror movie I actually ever watched! I also hold this movie near and dear to my heart, like yourself! Would love to watch your cut! I absolutely agree with everything you said.
Lacee Kunik Shoot me a dm on Twitter or FB @Drumdums Lacee. I’ll hook you up. I think you’ll dig it.
Drumdums awesome!!! Thanks Lee appreciate it! I messaged you on FB. 🎃
Yes, I’d watch reviews and the movie itself over and over again. So good 👍
Thank you!!
Wow. What a great review, Drumdum! Probably one of your best. Think I may somehow get my hands on your hybrid edit.
Thanks Alex. Shoot me a dm.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews i actually own the producers cut and i thought it was decent not bad but could have been better.
I've always loved this movie, It will always have a special place in my heart.
What I love about this movie is one , the tone, It has such a dark and brutal atmosphere with great gore which leads into another great thing about this movie, the kills.
It had great and creative kills, Michael is just terrifying and brutal in this movie especially in the operating room scene.
I also really enjoyed the characters mainly Tommy , Dr Loomis, and Kara, I know most people don't like Kara, but in my opinion I think she was a enjoyable character.
I also love really dig the score , I love the electric guitar beat and eerie feeling it gives off.
Finally, I can not forget to talk about Myers, as I said before he is just absolutely brutal in this movie. George P Wilbur brought such a eerie vibe to his portrayal of Myers and I actually really love the mask.
This movie is my third favorite sequel and I agree it is the most underrated sequel in the franchise.
I'm am happy this movie does have fans.
I’ve only seen the Theatrical Cut, and for that version, I find it to be a hilariocity. It’s so bad that’s it’s hilarious. Really despised this movie, but maybe one day I’ll watch the Directors Cut and end up liking it. Who knows? Glad you found enjoyment in it though!
I'm actually surprised that Halloween 6 never really produced any merchandise, especially at this point after 20-something years. I'd love a Curse of Thorn t-shirt, mug, etc. Give me a good shirt with a picture of A. Michael Lerner's Myers walking toward the camera like in the hospital-chase scene. I'd buy the shit outta that. This movie is so underrated and it only gets better with age.
Hell yes finally!!!! Love this movie so much. First of all thanks man once again for including me in this video. It truly means a lot and it feels great to be a part of this. Also how do I get a copy of your cut of this movie? I would love to see it. You made so many great points especially about how everyone still talks about this movie so much and I never hear anyone ever mention H2O in at all. I’m glad it gets the love because it really is a special movie and just has this amazing feel to it. The feeling is hard to put into words, but I get excited every time someone mentions this movie and of course when I watch it. As always man great work. I’m glad you completed what you wanted to say about the film. Thank you lee for taking the time to make these revisited I love them.
I'm glad you used the word "feel" because I get more of that emotion out of this movie than any other. In so many ways. Thanks for the Stardust review bro.
Halloween 6 Was A Great Movie
Yes it was Linda.
Great review Lee! Yes! Halloween 6 is definitely one of my favorite sequels too. It very underrated in my opinion. It had a good score, awesome mask, awesome character's, and just a great movie. I loved even as watching it as a little kid and still do. Yes, there is a couple of problems in the movie and it's not as good a few movie's in the series but I still enjoy the movie. I even love the Producers Cut. My rating for Halloween 6 on a scale of 1-10 is about an 8 or 8.5.
I wish they had done the sequel planned for the Pcut version
Lee you so get this fucking movie. I love it. The theatrical blows the producer's cut away! what you said here are the things i have been trying to tell people. and they just don't get it. i will get them to watch your video and maybe they will understand.
Av been waiting for this cos this is such a great and interesting movie. I love this film for every reason you mentioned.
it never bothered me that JC Brandy played Jamie as much as i love Danielle Harris her character was only 8 or 9 years old in H5 so when you get to 15 years old you would look different. Her death scene in the barn still creeps me out watching it so god damn scary and the ending of that scene is well just brutal.
The film's atmosphere and mood is brilliant. The cinematography is amazing and Michael Myers in this film is so scary when i saw this when i was 12 for the first time it reminded me of the original a lot. Def the most brutal Michael Myers Lee i agree and only second to the original. i won't get into Chris Durand lol (i liked him). The kill scene with the nurse is my favourite in the whole franchise. the look on her face seeing what is about to happen just makes it even better lol. The score also fits perfectly with the tone and atmosphere. it's a great score.
And while am not a fan of thorn or what it represents i think the concept of the idea was good. you need a story and what Halloween 6 actually does is make you believe that Michael is influenced or controlled but he is actually not. The scene at the end where Michael is slaughtering Wynn and the rest of his thorn cult is not only epic but emphasises to the highest degree that you cannot control Michael Myers. it was simply a theory Wynn had. Like a different perspective of evil that Loomis got from him. You never hear Loomis talk about Michael and thorn he just talks about Michael like he always does in Halloween 6. And the producer;s cut does have good scenes like you say. When Loomis is talking about his stroke and also the scene at the beginning when Michael is about to chase Jamie and the gates open letting him out showing that he was held prisoner by Wynn.
love this film. Glad you can see it for what it truly is. you named every single thing i love about this freaking movie.
Negatives - Mrs Blankenship? lol
Great write up man. I can tell you're passionate about it too. Awesome!
I love Halloween 6, its arguably the scariest Halloween in the original franchise and Michael mask is probably my 3rd favorite. Not to mention this is the first time we ever see Michael as brutal as he is. This was all before Rob Zombie had his chance at the franchise. I really need to watch season of the witch. I heard great things about it.
Oh yeah man Season of the Witch is classic. An annual watch for me.
One thing we’ll never know is what the reshoots would have looked like had the great Donald Pleasence not passed away and actually have been included in the theatrical reshoot scenes. That would probably have been the best version
Halloween 6 is an 8/10 for me. Very enjoyable! Definitely recommend it!
Btw, you should do a ranking of the Michael Myers actors! It's very hard to judge who's the best one out of Castle, Wilbur and Courtney and even Mane. I'd like to see who you prefer. I know for sure Durand will be last for you lol, even though I personally think Shanks and Loree are worse than him.
This movie is trapped on an island and unicorn that is how good this movie is
I love H6 so much haha.
This film has grown on me because of you, Lee...
I HATED this movie for a long time, but after rewatch a few months back, I really liked it! But I still have a lot of problems! The Thorn concept is still dumb, but I ignore it now, so it doesn’t bother me as much. But the acting is great, Myers is terrifying, the kills are amazing (even Jamie’s death, I’m ashamed to say😢😢😢). The score is absolutely awesome, and this film is really good! I’d give it an 8/10. In your case, it’s a low Purchase Worthy. Great revisited review, Lee, as always!
Halloween 6 is my favorite movie from the Halloween franchise based on the kills and how vicious and brutal Michael Myers was and because it was the last movie I ever watched with my granddaddy who showed me Halloween when I was 5 years old.
The atmosphere is phenomenal in this movie I fucking love the atmosphere in this movie
Agreed Grayson!
For a Halloween sequel it’s cool..it’s a fans movie in a way but definitely not one you’d show to someone who’s never seen the original. The original keeps the mystique of Myers and the body profile/movement and mask are absolutely perfection...but the mask and movement fits this movie
Great job with video Lee! I always thought that most of the fans and other people who saw this film were either confused or pissed off due to all the story changes and problems theatrical cut had that they didn't pay attention on how some other parts of the film were actually well directed, like all the creepy atmosphere. I like Producer's Cut more but i would still prefer if they kept death scenes from theatrical version, which i always thought were very cool.
Agreed. This one definitely veers from the norm in the franchise, but I like whats presented. This movie is more of an "experience" than the others to me.
Incredible job on this vid Lee. I can tell you worked your ass off on this one man. We all appreciate it very much bro.
Thanks so much Troy! I was exhausted after haha.
Haha I bet man
Totally agree that 6 is best myers. H6 was my fav growing up. Also just saw the producer cut for the first time ever yesterday after hearing about it for years.. didnt like it as much as theatrical, but agree with u on the first 2/3 having great character scenes. But immediately i thought wow it would be cool to see like a spliced cut with best of both. Then i find this!! You are the man sir!
I was 16 when this came out this was first halloween film I watched .When I watched it I was lost in storyline but loved it .i remember everyone watching started scream MICHAEL at opening because we so excited
That's awesome man! Nothing like seeing a Halloween movie in theater...especially back then.
Thanks for doing this Lee, great job! I absolutely love the Halloween theme music in this movie. Love Part 6!
One of my favorite themes!!
The Michael in this one might be my favorite one. The performance and costume is great and it is one of the most brutal and angriest Michaels, which is shown well in the lab massacre. He also comes off as a antihero in this, considering how many of his victims are jerks. That radio host, the Strode dad and the evil doctors in the aforementioned massacre.
great video! very well said throughout lee!
Thank you!
And fools shine on!!!!!!!! Love your vids man. I could listen to you talk about Halloween 6 all day. My favorite sequel.
Thanks so much man!
Love the video i love this movie, both cuts i would love to see your cut. Thank u for putting my 30 seconds in, i still feel like a goober not knowing stardust doesnt rotate.
Haha no worries bro. You were awesome!
All i got to say about this movie is Michael Is vicious as hell and one of the better masks and Michael's.
Hell yeah!
In the Theatrical Cut right after the lab massacre, Michael's movements after that scene was one of the scariest things in the series to me when I first saw it.
He's even jogging at one point.
Yeah A Michael Lerner really nailed the walk.
Great job Lee! I am digging that song!
Thank you!!
Awesome review of this fantastic movie. This was the first horror movie I saw in theaters by myself after I turned 17. This movie frightened me. It was a long walk across a dark parking lot to my car that night.
Haha that walk must have been brutal!
Yes it was. In fact I walked my dogs after watching your revisit last night and admittedly was freaked out.
This video came up on my suggestion on youtube and have to tell you this movie is the scariest feel of the thorn trilogy and one of my favorites that score scares the shit out of me the guitar theme wow i get those feels like hes out there in the dark love both versions
I've always avoided this movie because of it's reputation but your review made me interested in checking it out
Oh definitely check it out. It's one of my favorites!
The chase music that goes DUH.....DUHDUH....DUH....DUHDUH is probably my favorite of the franchise. The electric guitar interpretation in this movie is very cool, later in the film during the chase right after the surgery room slaughter, they play that electric guitar squeal with a drum roll behind it. its fuckin sick man
Agreed. That's one thing I love about 6. It's definitely a product of the times.
Lee, you know I absolutely love this movie! I just wanna know what it was like to see this movie in the theater?!?! The atmosphere and music in this movie is crazy..I could only imagine what it was like in a theater with the surround sound.
It was so damn cool seeing this in the theater. The crowd was really into it (even though the theater was only half packed). I just remember feeling a chill of sadness at the very end when you see the mask and syringe on the ground.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews thank you for the response! I’m so jealous I never seen it in theaters. The first Halloween movie I got to see in theaters was rob zombies H2 and that was a crazy ride.
I love Halloween 6 definitely in my top 5 Halloween movies
Hell yeah!
definitely an underrated movie,i even like the mask and the switch to the gray jumpsuit, I really enjoyed your drumdums cut of the movie and that was a badass drum cover!
Not going to lie, saw this on acid in the theatres when I was 17. And it scarred me for life. This is my favorite Halloween, the theatrical cut Trump's the producers cut because Michael cannot be controlled and the kills were top notch. As you mentioned the atmosphere was perfect and that Michael scared me more then any other Michael in the series. I hate h20 for not continuing that story. my top 3 in order are
1. Halloween 6
2. Halloween 1978
3. Halloween 2
Completely agree on the theatrical cut. I'm glad they made it more psychedelic.
I actually never minded the exploration of the 'thorn' story line and the explanation
behind Micheal's madness. "Whenever it appears, he appears". lol
Micheal was truly the most brutal in Halloween 6. If you look at the kills across
the series, H6 has some of the most memorable in my opinion.
The electrocution of the stepfather in the basement comes to mind.
When he foams at the mouth and his head explodes, with the flashes
from the electrical current, like a strobe light showing Micheal's eyes behind his mask.
And also the hospital scene is brutal. Or the scene of Micheal slaying the boyfriend
and the showcase of his viciousness in slow-motion through the POV of the telescope.
Just... he was brutal in H6.
There was the Raining Red scene.. etc...
I was a fan of the electric-guitar Halloween theme which I believe only worked for this installment but it's very catchy and well done. I ended up buying the soundtrack.
I liked Micheal's walk in the film. As he moved forward intimidatingly with his fists
clenched by his sides.
Pleasence's last Halloween film that he starred in.
There's also many flaws in the film too of course.
The casting of Jamie probably being the most controversial, but overall,
I think 6 is one of the more scarier Halloween sequels, maybe the scariest.
Agreed on all your points man. And I never had an issue with Thorn either. I actually dig it.
Yeah I agreed Gorge P Wilbur and A Michael Lerner they're the creepiest and scariest Michael ever if I have both the theatrical and the producers cut and if they're were a Tupelo con and both actors were there actually I would bring my Michael Myers mask I wish I had all three and the thorn film I would ask them to sign them.
I'm so glad someone else really enjoys this movie besides me. For years when I was growing up, I never watched it for a couple reasons. The first is that, for some reason, they would skip over H6 when they would do any type of marathon on tv. It wasn't in the blockbuster near me. I had read reviews of it online and most of them bashed it as the worst Halloween ever made. So I finally bought it on ebay just so I could complete my collection and know how the Thorn story ended. What an under rated movie! Paul Rudd played a grown up kid with PTSD very well, and George Wilburn is second only to Nick Castle because of how quick they walk. You can really feel danger as he is pursuing people in those hallways in the 3rd act. He doesnt walk like a zombie and make it unrealistic that he always catches his prey. I actually enjoy both endings (producers and theatrical) but i wish they could've meshed the two. I wish they left it the same as the theatrical up until Loomis says goodbye to Tommy, but then show Loomis go back into the building and find "Myers" on the floor where Tommy had beaten him, only to unmask him and find out that Myers had gotten up and killed the man in black and swapped places. Then have him yell and cut to that long dark hallway with Myers in the coat to end the movie. I love that shot and wish they could've found a way to keep it in. Keep up the good work with your videos!
i like the main theme i like the sort of punk rock vibe to it some people dont like it and thats their right but i love it
I just oredered the Producer's cut today I can't wait to view it.
Awesome! I prefer the theatrical, but having the P cut is almost a miracle.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews i have a video suggestion bring your wife or son on, I'd love to see them talk with you, I'm going to buy Halloween 2 next the original
