As we told you earlier this morning, Best Buy is currently listing a January 11, 2022 release date for their Halloween Kills 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release, and it’s pretty safe to assume that’s also the release date for the standard 4K, Blu-ray, DVD releases. That’d mean we’d be getting the movie on Digital in December, and we’ve got an update on that release for ya.
According to Amazon’s website, the Halloween Kills Extended Cut will be released Digitally on December 13, 2021! We have no official details at this time, but David Gordon Green did recently tease that an extended version of the movie with an alternate ending was on the way.
Speaking with Collider last month, Gordon Green revealed this extended alternate cut.
“This is the director’s cut through and through, but there’s an additional scene that we filmed that was scripted. And actually I think is a pretty brilliant scene. So we’re going to do an extended version on the DVD, just so people can see an extended ending that’s different and cool,” Gordon Green told the site. “We ended up lifting it when I became more confident of where we’re going to pick up in the next movie; it didn’t feel authentic to where we’re going to go. So we lifted it. So we just said, we’re kind of coming up with, okay, then if we lift that, where do we end? And it was actually Couper Samuelson at Blumhouse, he was just, let’s just end when it’s over. Lights out. He mentioned it, he was like remember in Rogue One, when you wanted the movie to end? When it was a Darth Vader going ballistic at the door.”
Gordon Green continued, “It’s part of the movie. It’s just not part of the appropriate momentum of…I think it was cool in its own right as watching a one-off movie, but knowing where we’re going to exactly where we’re going to pick up which, you’ll know in a year, it wasn’t the right look in the eye that we needed to give the audience.”
Additionally, we’re hoping to see an additional shot of Michael Myers that was cut from the theatrical/streaming version, notable because it features ’78 star Nick Castle as The Shape.
