Its solidness felt comforting, reassuring. On the way, she stopped at her bed, reached beneath the blanket, and withdrew the knife that Allyson had left for her.

Laurie turned and slowly walked toward the front of the recovery room. Here’s how the novelization ends, after Michael kills Karen Strode… Maybe that’ll show up on the special features of the DVD.” It’s just like they ended thirty seconds early or something. It doesn’t change anything about the ending at all. Waggoner recently explained to Bloody Disgusting’s Jason Jenkins, “The ending is the same as in the movie, except in the script it goes on just a touch longer. And wouldn’t ya know it, the novelization indeed does have an extended/alternate ending. In his deceased sister Judith Myers’s old bedroom, Michael seems to kill Karen Strode, and the film cuts to black from there.Īs David Gordon Green notes, an “extended ending” was not only filmed but also originally scripted, and that last bit is interesting to note because writer Tim Waggoner based the official Halloween Kills novelization – which is now available – on the movie’s script. In the version of Halloween Kills that’s now playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock, Michael survives a seemingly un-survivable assault from the residents of Haddonfield, massacring the mob and returning to his childhood home. It’s just not part of the appropriate momentum of… knowing where we’re going to pick up in, which, you’ll know in a year, it wasn’t the right look in the eye that we needed to give the audience.” “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,” he continues. “It’s part of the movie. 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.”

And actually I think is a pretty brilliant scene. Gordon Green explained, “There’s an additional scene that we filmed that was scripted. That reveal came in a chat with Collider last month. In all likelihood, this new extended version of the sequel to Halloween 2018 will be available digitally and physically.īut what can we expect from the “Extended Cut”? 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. Ahead of the Janurelease on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD (plus a Best Buy Steelbook!), David Gordon Green’s Halloween Killswill be released Digitally on December 13, 2021, with an “Extended Cut” of the movie being previewed by Amazon.
