MYERS : THE BUTCHER OF HADDONFIELD

In October of 1978, on the cusp of his 21st birthday, Michael Myers qualified to be transferred to a step down locked facility. The decision was determined by a board of doctors at Smith's Grove Sanitarium. It was a decision they would forever regret.
Picking up moments after the end of John Carpenter's original classic, this new short follows Michael Myers on his walkabout, before his eventual capture.

A WORD FROM CHRIS
So before you even ask, let me just lay it all out there. My short follows the most recent timeline, ie- Halloween 2018's new continuity. I know that being a fan of Halloween lately comes with a very complex choose your own adventure feel, but the Cult of Thorn and the Sister Saga have DEFINITELY been done to death by fans. And since there (to date) aren't many fan films in the new continuity, I figured why not?
It's been 8 years since my last Halloween fan film (not counting TNEOH2), ironically also titled- MYERS : Rise of the Boogeyman. For the longest time, I had wanted to make another Halloween short, and for a while, I was set on making a sequel to my fan film Halloween Season, but the timing was never quite right and it just didn't happen.
One of my biggest setbacks was getting a good mask. Yes, I've had masks in the past, but none of them were truly fantastic. So I set a rule for myself, no more Halloween shorts till I could score a good mask. I really can't believe it took me 8 frickin years though. But I managed to get one.
The mask, if you wish to know is a KIRK 75 mask from Trick or Treat studios. I saw their actual Myers mask and I did not care for the sculpt, but the KIRK 75 looked pretty authentic. So I got it, then customized it myself. I did the standard- removed the eyebrows and sideburns, widened the eye sockets, spray painted it white, darkened the hair and then weathered it. The whole process took less than a couple of hours.
Filming took place in one day, beginning with the doctor sequence and ending with Michael walking off at the end. Definitely one of my easier film shoots.
Because I was unable to secure a doctor's office of any sort (and believe me, I tried), I was forced to improvise, and converted my living room into the set. It cost me less than 60 bucks, which was a hell of steal when compared to renting a day office for $25.00 an hour.
The goal of this short was to focus on Michael as a death artist. The guy for lack of a better description, is really creative when it comes to killing people, and he definitely enjoys it. So I wanted him to really take his time in this short. And he definitely does. My ultimate goal was to drag out those deaths for as long as possible, without making them look cheesy. A lot of movies and fan films either go over the top gore and it comes off looking fake, or super quick and there is no emotional connection to it.
Extending those deaths, with little to no music, and keeping them as simple as possible (in my opinion) really puts you in the room with them, feeling every minute of the horror. Hopefully you feel the same way.

[@fishface6807]

The first guy who died acted better than most Hollywood actors

[@julieperez8530]

I thought so too. But the girl needs more practice just my personal opinion

[@hoifzf]

facts

[@g.nshooter9736]

I like the way you mixed the film by combining clips of his doctors discussing what they think Michael is like and clips of what he his really like you captured the original tone perfectly.

[@migolitow]

Fits perfectly in the new timeline. Squeezes just between the ending of 1978 and up until his capture by Officer Hawkins. Awesome.

[@blinky500]

That's was the intention. Thank you.

[@abdulbah2176]

I believe in the movie they said they found him knocked out in somebody's backyard. Nonetheless this was amazing to watch

[@blinky500]

That's so anti-climatic.

[@Xehanort10]

@blinky500. The way Sartain explains it. I think it went like this. Being stabbed in the gut with his own knife and shot 6 times by Loomis combined with falling off the balcony weakened Michael to the point where he collapsed from his injuries somewhere and Loomis found him and was about to kill him before Hawkins stopped him, arrested Michael and had him sent back to Smith's Grove.

[@blinky500]

That's soooo dumb.

[@Timelord007]

Excellent fan film captures the tone of the original Halloween & was very tense viewing especially that first kill.

[@TheAverageGamer1]

Personally I think it made the mistake that every film made after the first, that being they showed mike a bit to much

[@chupacabrathealien8307]

Matt Hodge that is what makes the movie so good, it suprises viewers.

[@johannahaggarty9242]

I can't stand it when you watch a film and nothing happens for ages, go straight to the kill the watchers are hooked quickly + like bobo 2019 said it's one hell of a shock cheers

You brought back a lost art that we need to see in Horror movies again and that is making a death scene longer. Prolonging it. Nowadays we only get a 10 second death scene if we’re lucky.

[@blinky500]

Thanks. Yeah I definitely wanted to make these deaths as painful to watch as possible. Quick deaths do not let us care for the victim. We view them as canon fodder. Dragging it out however makes you stop and go "oh..... that looks painful."

Really good and I liked the cutting back and forth between the doctors debating whether Myers was dangerous and him murdering the couple. Open ending with the trick or treat girl was good as well. I know you said the short takes place between the original and the last one. But my favorite order goes Halloween then Halloween 2. So in my mind Myers has just gotten off the lawn, regained his bearings, and killed before getting to the house we see in Halloween 2.

It was originally setup like that. So, good eye.

@@blinky500 its well deserved. Being a huge horror and slasher fan who binges these movies i can truthfully say that no one else captures the suspense and emotion from the killers like your crew does. Other fan films ive seen especially with silent killers such as jason or michael have them jump in and kill out of nowhere or have them do actions comepletely out of character but you guys focus on the stalkings, the planning of their next victims and treat their actions loyally to how they usually act with your own flare and creativity at times sprinkled in which adds to the entertainment. Top notch acting here too, very realistic imo. Its people like you that i highly respect for i have a hobby for writing scripts especially horror but you take it to the next level by actually making everything after its all down on paper.
