Night of Samhain, The

I have to say, this edit took the most guts of any Halloween edit. It’s not a simple idea and not one may immediately think of. This took creative to think of and ultimately construct. The cuts are flawless. Video and audio quality and editing is top notch. This is clearly a professional editor who understands the software. The story was told the best that it could be. I appreciated the favoritism of Halloween 6 producers cut versus the theatrical. My issue with the edit is that at the end of the day, these are two different films and they just don’t cross, as much as the editor made it close to possible. Knowing the two films individually I knew that and the outcome sort of happened as expected. It’s just two different films playing side by side sharing music. Overall I enjoyed it and recommend checking this out for a very fresh take on the series and professional editing.

It was unique to see two movies split into two story arcs that all comes together slowly at the end. The additional editing with the thorn symbol and the silver shamrock details appearing here and there was excellent. There were maybe a few audio hiccups due to some trims but otherwise it wasn't distracting. This fan edit to me strenghtens both films into a one big over the top horror fest.

I enjoy it very much. Great Editing. The commentary was good too. I liked you put the music & T.V. Halloween commercial to the 1995 movie, nice job. Also the bad guys monitors you put from Halloween 6 was great too. You can tell some of the clothing style between the movies but that's ok. Like you said on commentary you can tell the difference Halloween 3 was DVD & Halloween 6 Blu-ray but its a small difference. I can see the editing was a lot of work, Good job on it. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the edit.

A perfect way to enjoy the two scrappy underdogs of the Halloween franchise. As other reviewers have said, it does feel like a little like two movies running in parallel (the two different pronunciations of "Samhain" in each film is a giveaway, if nothing else), but by the end, it the two Celtic cult cataclysms dovetail intersect and it's a powerful feeling when the twin conspiracies seem to tie together. All in all a great edit -- an abbreviated, concentrated Halloween VI and a version of III that brings it closer to the fold of the rest of the Shape-centric franchise. Watching this will be an October tradition going forward in my house!

A mash-up that really works. The themes present in each film really work well together. The cult(s)'s plan seems more elaborate and fleshed out than in their respective individual movies.
The strongest point, to me, is that so much fat is trimmed from each film that you're left with a much more exciting version of each. There's never a dull moment.
One minor grips is that it still sort of feels like tossing back and forth between two films. I believe absolutely everything that could be done to make them logically run parallel was done, but in a proper film it seems like the protagonists would have run into each other at some point since they seem so close at times. And the way Loomis runs back into what should be a burning building at the end didn't work for me. But again, minor gripes and the way the ending is combined was great as well.
