‘Halloween Kills: Extended Cut’ Will Have “More Thrills and More Kills” in Addition to an Alternate Ending

Ahead of David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills coming to 4K and Blu-ray in January, the film will first be released digitally on December 14, in the form of the brand new Extended Cut!

“Survivors of Michael Myer’s rampage form a vigilante mob and set out to hunt Michael down, once and for all. The Extended Cut has more thrills, kills, and an alternate ending.”

What can we expect from the alternate ending? The novelization may answer that question.

Gordon Green told Collider last month, “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. 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.”

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.”

In addition to the alternate ending, the Extended Cut’s listing on iTunes notes that deleted/extended scenes, audio commentaries, and featurettes will be included. Thanks to writer Matt Serafini for these new insights (below). Matt lets us know that Gordon Green recorded one commentary, while the other features stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer.

One interesting thing to note is that Amazon lists a December 13 date for the Digital Extended Cut while iTunes lists December 14. So we may be getting it one day early via Amazon…
