**Hello, I wanted to finally get my Halloween Fanmix out there. It is called Halloween: The Doctor’s Cut. This is my first time submission and the first fan film I’ve made.
Brief synopsis:
It is Halloween 1 & Halloween 2 shortened and streamlined into one movie with additions from Halloween 1 Extended Edition. Additional music scores and creative changes supplement the narrative and film experience. The twist is that it focuses more on the relationship between Dr. Loomis and Michael rather than Laurie and Michael.
Intention:
To tighten up the entire story of the night he came home with the primary focus being on Loomis and Michael with less focus on Laurie and others. I additionally wanted to add more tension, suspense and a fresh sense of creativity to an already incredible story.
**CHANGEST LIST**
SPOILER ALERT
All changes noted are roughly within a second or two.

-Don't Fear The Reaper cover fades in and plays when ambulance drives away with Laurie and plays through the newly constructed end credits.
Although this is my first fanedit, I believe I have created a very fun, dark, eerie and fresh edit. Big changes have been made since the beginning. I have had great guidance through this entire journey and I encourage anybody who wants a fresh take one the original two films to ask me to see the edit. Scenes cut out, cut scenes added in, additional score and a fresh perspective on two beloved characters: Michael Myers and Sam Loomis.
