Following the original script for the Halloween (2018) film, shuffling around a lot in the first 2 thirds and adding back deleted scenes to fill some gaps in the story, I've tried to restore the film back to how it was originally structured. There's a lot of changes that I don't exactly know how to detail, so I'll type out both the theatrical and script scene orders in the hopes they make sense for comparison sake.

Nothing has been cut besides one line from Oscar to allow for a bit of a better scene transition and the last half of the cop-sandwich talk because the script has one line for that scene instead of an entire 2 minute back and forth.
A lot of stuff has been rearranged hopefully for a fresh experience (maybe better I can't tell) and about 9 minutes of new stuff added, some of which shouldn't of been cut in my opinion.
Feel free to PM me for a workprint
