For whoever prefers RZ Halloween II over DGG's Halloween Ends give me a Hells yeah!

[@eddiechase305]

The worse is whichever one that has Michael screaming “Die”!

[@justin9767]

Theatrical ending .

[@xhuntarianx]

Director's cut all day for me. It's darker and more visceral with better character development.

[@Thats_Andrew]

I gotta rewatch this one, It's been awhile!

[@mjslawrence9554]

Absolutely love this movie. You miss so much with the theatrical cut.

[@DaveyDeathray]

Amen! Even if it has the better ending (or at least an ending that doesn't have Michael yelling "Die!"), the theatrical cut removes so much of what makes this film so interesting 👊

[@mjslawrence9554]

@DaveyDeathray lol Michael yelling, "Die!" is just so irritating. If that's not Zombie's ultimate eff you to the Weinsteins, I don't know what is.

[@Sebastian04223]

I thought Laurie was soo depressing in the directors cut but it was realistic. I think it added a lot of more emotional impact to what happens at the end. However, I do prefer theatricals ending much much better. I should try what Nick did lol never though of that

[@JasonVoorhees6661]

Directors cut but with the theatrical ending because seeing Myers rip Loomis to pieces that alone I must have haha I made a cut of both films, trimmed some of the scenes, added the deleted scenes, in H2 I add the deleted scenes, and made a cut where myers family doesn’t speak and it makes the whole thing allot more haunting

[@JamesL2024]

15 years later and I haven't seen either Rob Zombie's Halloween 1 or 2.

[@DrumdumsXtra]

Damn!

[@aldeniro1983]

Wow

[@DaveyDeathray]

I would say that if you're a fan of the series they certainly are worth the watch. The first one is unnecessary in my opinion, but a lot of people really enjoy it and there are some things about it that I can get behind. I really enjoy his sequel, though. It may be an acquired taste, or not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm so happy it exists...especially because it's in its own little timeline so it does nothing to taint the legacy of the characters or story, regardless of what the haters may say

[@JamesL2024]

@DaveyDeathray I hate Rob Zombie movies. He's a terrible filmmaker.

[@TheFartbreakKid]

​@@JamesL2024in your opinion of course

[@zacgale4231]

This was one of the rare films that I wanted to walk out of the theatre while watching it.. I definitely don’t mind RZ as a director but this movie didn’t work for me at all.. I did enjoy his original Halloween remake though.

[@DaveyDeathray]

You should check out the Director's Cut at home. That theatrical cut takes all of the character development meat off of the bone, which is ultimately an unsatisfying experience

[@devontehuntley6274]

Director's Cut is better since it's longer and has more stuff to flesh it out and have it be at around the same runtime as the remake, but even it fails when it comes to the opening hospital scene. Was that suppose to be a dream or it really happening and if the latter how did Laurie get out of Michael knocking her upside the head?

[@robertalessandrini8773]

Damn part 2 started out so good and then went off the track .

[@DrumdumsXtra]

I adore it.

[@robertalessandrini8773]

@@DrumdumsXtra The hospital sequence in the beginning is great. The chase in the rain and when Michael destroys the security hut is well done.

[@ByronWeaver33]

The director’s cut has the better pacing and better editing but I would have to give the slight edge to the theatrical cut because of the way it ended. My only issue with RZH2 is the studio interference, it’s a shame because this film could’ve been great as the first 20 minutes. I wouldn’t mind seeing a “Dexter” style T.V. series that picks up after the events of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2008) (the theatrical cut) and it centers around Laurie Strode from Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007) and Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2009) played by Scout Taylor Compton.

[@AKAWhatsinaname]

This may be a silly reason but i'm such a big fan of the late Margot Kidder and in the Director's cut we get a extra scene and the Theatricial they cut her down to only one scene. I do prefer the Theatrial ending though.

[@DrumdumsXtra]

Love Margot Kidder.

[@vanderhoff66fu]

Director cut is way better

[@slimbroco572]

Big fan of both movies. Only had them on dvd so today I ordered the deluxe blu-ray edition w them all theatrical n unrated. Cant wait to get it 🎃 n either version works for me cuz the chick looks like my one crazy ex n both outcomes ain't good 😂 I kid. Just got my 37" Sony Trinitron set up. Vhs time!

[@one_with_kevrything9825]

While both cuts are largely unwatchable, but the Director's Cut is better from what I recall, though I haven't seen either in many years.

[@markforcellino409]

The new Trilogy to me, is a ton of cool fan ideas brought to life poorly. Rob Zombie's H2 is one of my favorite Halloween movies

[@DrumdumsXtra]

I watched H2018 again yesterday. Man that movie is frustrating at times.

[@AnthonyChobotdoespopcult-jz7jr]

I thought It was ok movie

[@Dparish24]

The Theatrical cut, there’s slightly less f-bombs and bad dialogue. Laurie is still kind of likeable, she has moments in the TC that were removed from DC like mentioning missing her parents, talks to a teddy and pets a pig - little things like that kept her relatable, in DC she has no likeable moments at all, she’s just awful to everyone. Keeping her likeable in TC made her downward spiral more tragic. Also agreed DC ending is a joke, TC ending is so much better.

[@MrMoviebuff01]

I prefer the theatrical cut. I think the movie still gets it's message across with Laurie and her PTSD, and without all the screaming and treating everyone like shit, like in the director's cut. I can't empathize with someone like that. The theatrical cut takes all that out and imo is much better for it. I can empathize with her and i do feel bad for her. And it still shows her spiraling down this dark hole and that she may not be able to get out of it. I will say the director's cut does some things better. The main one being Brackett's scene when he finds Annie. Brad dourif does an amazing job and it just wrecks everytime i see that scene. And I'm kinda torn on the endings. I like what the theatrical does with Michael killing loomis, and then laurie killing Michael. But i also like the finality of the director's cut where all three are gone and Laurie couldn't be saved. So overall while I still don't like the movie I would say that the theatrical cut is my preferred version. But again neither cut saves the movie from being bad in my opinion. -James Stewart

[@DrumdumsXtra]

I do like that both movies have a different vibe.

[@Andrew_Skywalker03]

Theatrical Cut

[@alternativefm1976]

Theatrical, hands down.

[@vinilima1227]

I like some of the extra or alternate shots from the director’s cut but I think the theatrical cut is better overall ESPECIALLY the ending. But I think the movie is pretty weak in both cuts anyway but the theatrical cut is slightly better. The ending from the director’s cut is absolutely WTF 😂😂😂😂 Michael should never talk….. DIE !!!! 😂😂😂 WTF 😂

[@sgfuzz5465]

None of them.

[@BertonMelch]

Theatrical cut is better

[@gaba-goo3733]

theatrical is more like the traditional halloween film so theatrical. directors cut is too much like House of 1000 corpses or rejects.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Whatever one that myers talks is the worse .

[@ATOK_]

This is one of my least favourite Halloween movies

[@antoinettegreen5344]

Both are bad!!!

[@blackswany5539]

Shut up

[@TheFartbreakKid]

I prefer the directors cut. Although I do prefer the ending from the original but everything else seems more fleshed out in the directors cut. In fact I like it so much I'm gonna watch it tonight. "Dont give me no reason"😂

[@DrumdumsXtra]

Completely agree.
