According to Shock Til You Drop, director Rob Zombie has been saying for some time now that Halloween II – the second chapter in his reboot of the Halloween franchise first started by John Carpenter back in 1978 – has a whole different version that never made it to theaters. Well, with Halloween II passing quietly through theaters back in August, and the DVD release not far off, the subject of the director’s cut has once again come up, with Zombie dropping a few details about what we would get from this cut-never-seen.

“There is another version of the movie that’s very, very different..Laurie Strode’s character is the main difference…(to the theatrical) She’s holding it together, getting her life together and it starts spiraling downward. In the other version, she’s an incredible mess and gets worse. She never has any good moments, she’s just messed up, she’s lashing out at everyone, she’s horrible. Messed up on drugs, she’s just completely spun out through the whole movie.”

Ahhh, this just made my day! wait, screw that, it just made my year! Scout gave the site her warm blessings over Twitter last night before heading off to read some scripts (exciting right?) I know, you will all probably think I’m a little nutty for making a post about this but it really does mean a lot to me that Scout is liking what’s going on here, if she was uncomfortable with it, which some are, then I would respect her wishes and take down the site. Here’s what she tweeted;
