For the "Halloween" series, what other ends were possible?
The "Halloween" series boasts multiple potential endings. While some altered the film, most saw no notable alterations. Although the first "Halloween" was supposed to have an other ending, director John Carpenter swiftly refuted that myth. Several of the sequels, however, feature filmed but never published alternate endings. Though that conclusion doesn't significantly alter the plot, "Halloween II" offers an alternative ending which Laurie Strode reunites with a paramedic called Jimmy.
Jimmy disappeared from "Halloween II".
Jimmy, the paramedic Laurie Strode drawn to, survives the night in the first edit of "Halloween II." But in the other ending, Laurie and Jimmy are back together and clasp hands as Laurie remarks, "We made it." Although Laurie's happy ending is gratifying, this other ending has no effect on the general plot of the movie and Jimmy isn't seen once again following that.
"Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers" has what other ending?
In the first "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," teenage Tommy Doyle gives Michael a corrosive potion and beats him unconscious with a lead pipe. Tommy's mother and other survivors flee, leaving Loomis to battle Michael. Loomis's and Michael's destinies are so uncertain. In the other ending, though, Tommy stops Michael using old runes, and Loomis aids everyone in fleeing. Loomis finds Michael has vanished when he goes back to where he is sleeping, therefore he takes over as the new Cult of Thorn head.
How did the other ending for "Halloween II" influence the film?
Michael murders Loomis in Rob Zombie's "Halloween II," unmasked and cries, "Die!" in the other ending. Michael dies then from police after leaving the shed, and Laurie dies from police as well. The conclusion then veers to Laurie's afterlife, where she encounters her mother's spirit. Michael dies by Laurie in the theatrical ending, hence this one is darker. Laurie's escape and last scene in the psychiatric institution are likewise eliminated at this conclusion.
"Halloween 2018" had what as its alternate ending?
"Halloween 2018" has a quite different alternate ending than its theatrical release. It revolves on Laurie and Michael fighting in Laurie's yard, where Laurie suffers severe injuries and most certainly dies. It then shifts to Karen leaving the house carrying a crossbow and repeatedly shooting Michael. Then Michael falls into the forest and sits down; his injuries point to death. The reboot trilogy would have been definitively ended with this other ending.
"Halloween Kills" had what as its other ending?
In the other ending for "Halloween Kills," Laurie phones Karen following Michael's murder. Laurie tells Michael, "I'm coming for you," knowing Karen is dead as she hears him breathing on the phone. She exits the hospital then grabs her knife from her bedside. This would have impacted the emotional effect of Karen's passing and generated issues for the trilogy's ending.
