Editing Details:
*Daeg Faerch is now the only “young Michael” Chase Wright Vanek is nowhere to be seen.
*Everything about Laurie having a breakdown regarding the events two years earlier is now gone cause the whole “shit-went-down-in-Haddonfield-two-years-earlier-aka-second-half-of-the-remake” is gone (though Laurie does indeed have a meltdown, but that because she turns into Michael Myers' mind state)
*The whole movie is now in the aspect ratio: 1.85:1 (that of H2) instead of H1 footage being 2.35:1 and H2 footage 1.85:1 I also added some grain to the H1 footage.
*The classic Halloween score is now completely gone (H2 doesn’t feature any so I had to choose between inserting some or change the score in H1 where the Halloween score does exist)
