Project Info
Back in 2021, the first five Halloween films were released on 4K UHD by Scream Factory, marking the first time Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers were released in the UHD format. During the preparation of these releases, previously believed to be lost footage from Halloween 5 was recovered, and would find their way to what is believed to be the definitive release of Halloween 5 by way of special features. The lost footage was the original scripted "Dr. Death" opening, which was reshot with the Mountain Man seen in the final product, as well as cut gore footage that was removed to prevent the film from being slapped with an X rating by the MPAA.
Bobson Dugnutt of fanedit.org recently restored the gore footage and expertly reintegrated those shots into his streamlined fanedit, The Haddonfield Harvest. After reaching out to him and receiving restored shot, kidjupiter92 has reintegrated those shots, along with the "Dr. Death" opening into the film, and has created Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - Unrated Cut.
Replacing the Mountain Man sequence with the Dr. Death sequence and placing the restored gore shots back into their proper places, kidjupiter92 has created the closest thing to the original vision of the fifth entry in the Halloween film franchise.
Video: 2021 Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers 4K UHD release and the restored gore shots via Bobson Dugnutt of fanedit.org. Presented in 1080p and true 24fps like Scream Factory release.
