Brief Synopsis:
I love HALLOWEEN'18. But, when leaving the theater, there were 2 things that bugged me:
1. How was Michael captured in 1978? There's a missing link between Michael disappearing at the end of the original film & now being incarcerated for the last 40 years.
2. We don't see Michael's demise at the end. It's an obvious dodge for more sequels, when I felt like this could have been a very satisfying one n' done.
This edit aims to fix both of these issues & much more.
I've made many other alterations in order to Shape my ideal version.

Intention:
My goal was to create a version that feels more cohesive to the original film & delivers a more cathartic & definitive end to the story.
