igg.me/at/thefaceofmichaelmye...
Forty years after the malevolence that unsettled the suburban community of Haddonfield, IL, a new set of murders unravels the peace of this sleepy town. Dr. Benjamin Petersen (Matt Baca) is charged with the psychiatric evaluation of the young man who butchered his entire family, claiming the specter of Michael Myers entered his body to satisfy its bloodlust. The conversations between patient and doctor digs deep into the dark territory of Billy’s (Tom Robinson) fractured psyche that may unleash another blood-soaked Halloween night threatening Haddonfield with the violence that never really left, only hid beneath the veneer of the waspy enclave.

This actually could go for a real film. Great acting, Great mask, great script, great cinematography, etc.

Thank you AJ!

That creeped me out. I love it.

[@TheShape.]

Whatever happened with this?

[@JustADemon2023]

As far as I could tell you, it never got made. If they did end up creating the film, then either they would have put it on their channel years ago or announced that it was going somewhere else.

By the looks of this, this doesn't even look like a fan film! "Totally" excited for the full release! Where did the Myers mask come from, if you don't mind me asking?! That's the closest to an H1 that I've ever seen. Keep up the great work! @Hawthorne House Films

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

Thanks! The mask is a custom mask by the talented Justin Mabry!

You need to find who is willing to invest in this so you can make possibly of the greatest Halloween films of all time.Im going to subscribe

[@rumblerodz13]

Wow 😮... now this is the fan film that I’ve been waiting for! After being hyped and then let down about a certain other fan film that came out earlier this month, it’s awesome to see this short taste of what you are bringing to the table for us fans. I love the cinematography, from the little that was shown in this ‘prelude’.. I am impressed with how the look of the shots came out. Music was original, yet had a hint of a classic Halloween film. And I’m very intrigued with what the story is going to be about! I get it so far, but interested in seeing more. And Finally....FINALLY.. a well done Myers Mask !!! I can’t tell you the countless times I’ve hoped that another fan film would use an indie mask ( Like I have) opposed to the countless cheap ToTs masks that flood KZbin Halloween fan films.. thank you for taking note and putting in what I feel makes or breaks a Halloween fan film ,and that’s the Myers mask 🔪🎃 . I’m so looking forward to this fan film,and hope to help out in any way, to see it come to life soon! I’m a young filmmaker/cinematographer myself and have a few fan films of my own on my channel to boot. I’d love for you and any others reading this comment to check it out, but... YES this has me excited!! I can’t wait to see what’s next..great work guys 👌🎃🔪 you got a fan of your work right here!

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

Thank you so much! We appreciate all of the support!

[@MADCOFILMS]

Absolutely brilliant. I love the fact that your trying to take a different approach to the Halloween franchise. It's well shot and brilliant acting, well written. Far better than ours we released last week on our channel. Can't wait for the full length movie

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

Thanks! We're currently running an Indiegogo campaign to try and raise funds to make the full film. Check it out if you get a chance!

@@hawthornehousefilms2893 Ah, great choice. When is the final product expected to be released? Also whats the total length of the film? I would love to see more projects from you guys.

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

@@MOVISUALS If the Indiegogo campaign is successful, were looking at filming early 2019 with a release in Summer/Fall 2019. Right now the film is sitting at somewhere between 25 to 30 minutes. Depending on how much money we raise, there's a possibility of extending it's running time but we will have to see.

Great mask. keep up good work

[@soundscapenyc]

I just spent the last 2 hours watching a bunch of Halloween fan films-each getting worse than the one before. They were all awful. Yours was the last one I came upon before giving up. But, WOW! This is s winner! Beautifully shot, edited, and acted. It really transcends the "fan film" treatment. The psychological twist really elevates the lore of MM to a whole new level. Really brilliant! (Also, is the score original? Love it. It's different enough, but fits perfectly into the H universe. Is it available to buy?)

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

Thank you so much! Yes, the music is original.

[@coneshadeproductions4130]

Vincente Disanti played the shape and Jason Voorhees...

[@TiltPicturesEntertainment]

Speechless! This is Amazing ! The Music in this is outstanding! Awesome Job, Hawthorne House!, I was wondering if we could work on the soundtrack for my upcoming thriller movie “Christmas Night,” I would definitely love if you could do the music for it! Maybe the music used in this.

[@MOVISUALS]

Any updates on the status of this film?

[@freddymyers4318]

This was awesome! Can't wait for more! Is this inspired by John Carpenter's idea for HalloweeN IV? I've had some ideas to bring that concept to the screen myself.

[@tydeeproductions5858]

It’s been 2 or 3 years bro. Where is the film

[@CerimovicAmar21]

That was amazing I felt like I was watching a netflix original. However a few things could be done better with the micheal scenes. Like that one person who mentioned about how he walks, but also how he stands. I don't know how to explain it but those if you look at the original films you'll see what I mean. I would love to see some of the original soundtrack in the films if possible. Can't wait to see more!

[@Thelastwarrior]

Better than the the whole 2018 movie lol

[@kaylubjones5649]

[@kjfromocpodcast1110]

Great work! I want to know whats going on

[@CropseyManiac1981]

That looked EPIC!!! I didn't care too much for Halloween 2018, and this fan film looks like it could easily give it a run for its money. I like the fresh approach involving what I assume to be a victim of The Shape, receiving therapy from a physiatrist and I'm most interested to see where you go with it. It was certainly well acted and they're performances were very believable. I enjoyed how the delusions were handled and the music was eerie and atmospheric which suited the tone wonderfully. I look forward to seeing the completed project. Thank you for making it.

[@hawthornehousefilms2893]

Thank you so much! We're looking forward to making the actual film if all goes well with our Indiegogo campaign!
