Original Title: Halloween - The Return of Michael Myers
RUNNING TIME: 82 Minutes.
We are back, Zagadka and I in this project.
As usual, I am responsible for the editing, the music, etc...
But this is all done from a worklist created by Zagadka.
This sequel of THE SHAPE is re-scored where it was possible with Carpenter's soundtrack of Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills.

ZAGADKA: A revisited version of Dwight H. Little's Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988). It's a fan-edit with more ominous atmosphere and more in the spirit of the original 1978 movie. The edit works as a sequel to Halloween II (1981) or as a standalone reboot (like H2018). INTENTION • H4 is the main plot of the edit with H1-H2 flashbacks to make a better connection with the first films and let the story come full circle at the end. • Michael Myers's actions and presence are more suspenseful and sometimes done offscreen – keep him mostly in a shadow, limit shots of his poorly made mask and when shoulder pads under his costume are too visible. Trim many clumsy shots of Myers elsewhere. • Remove a number of obnoxious scenes or lines and fix some errors; darken the atmosphere. • Change the aspect ratio to 2.35:1 (in the vibe of H1-H2). • New sound effects; new music by John Carpenter from David Gordon Green's 2018-2022 trilogy plus a few tracks from various Halloween chapters.
