Night of Samhain, The

What should have been an impossible edit was made into an amazing piece of art. A marvel if the modern fanedits. It’s difficult to see how these films could fit together, especially when they’re technically considered to take place in two different universes. LastSurvivor has made a high quality edit and ties together two stories in a way that just makes sense. The connection of Samhain and the occult weaves these two stories into one, when initially it seems as if they’re completely separate. The edits are high quality, the musical themes help keep it together, and the payoff is absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend!

I commend LastSurvivor on crafting such a unique take, combining parts 3 and 6 of the Halloween franchise to make something that was greater than the sum of its parts. While the two films gel in terms of tone and theme, the lack of narrative connections or characters between the two does make for some jarring moments, augmented by the clear difference in style between each film. I suggest the fan edit for the experience alone, but Halloween 3 on its own is on my preferred watchlist.

This might very well be one of my favorite fan edits of all time! I absolutely LOVED this!

It's remarkable how well the two films parallel and compliment each other. From both starting on a rainy night, making the events feel so close together, to the ending infiltration of cult operated facilities. It's almost like they could cross over any second! And though they never meet, this still feels like one vast story! The pacing of this fanedit is really incredible. The custom made intro (and ending) credits set the stage for an epic story, and the use of music and expert sound mixing throughout the entire film make the transitions between scenes feel seamless. While it takes a little getting used to, it eventually doesn't feel like you're simply watching two movies playing simultaneously. The way LastSurvivor highlights the parallel story beats from each film is brilliant, and I think really elevate both individual stories. Danny watching the Silver Shamrock commercial is a beautiful touch that provides a satisfying cross over moment. As does the edited security monitors to show where the Cult of Thorne are in their progress.
It's a shame that we won't ever see a proper sequel to the producer's cut ending of Curse of Michael Myers. But somehow, by pairing it with the ending of Season of the Witch, the combined bleakness and loss of both somehow gives a stronger sense of finality.

Like many, I always make a point of watching something from the Halloween franchise around the holiday every year. This year, I watched a series of fan edits instead, to experience the franchise in a new way. I've always liked Season of the Witch, but have often skipped it in franchise rewatches, but that will likely never happen again thanks to this edit!

This is my favourite kind of fanedit - a creative and ambitious execution of a clever idea. The twin storyline strands never entirely converge, of course - the footage doesn't exist to allow characters from the two films to meet. Despite that constraint LastSurvivor has done excellent work here in weaving the two films together such that both storylines plausibly run alongside one another, with a lot of work on the audio side to complete the illusion. As many others have said, great work!

This is such a cool idea and well executed. Crosscutting between the two films is very smooth and well-paced, bringing out the best in both. Seeing scenes juxtaposed in new ways reveals connections between H3 and H6 that weren't as evident before. A fun way to revisit two of the more overlooked entries in the franchise. Great work!
