I get so excited like Eddie Murphy going "Hercules,Hercules" when i see you guys breaking down another un-made script from Halloween....🎃🤘

[@rayhoyer4829]

Right?

[@AIRSOFTMARINE44]

SAME I ONLY COME FOR THE HALLOWEEN STUFF AND SPECIFICALLY THE MOVIES THAT COUKD HAVE BEEN

[@marcuse7261]

Bro u read my mind I was just saying that in my head 😂

[@LA_HA]

@@rayhoyer4829 Not just yeah, but hell yeah.

[@steveodubs3097]

Could have written a cross over where instead of falling into lake Michigan , Michael purifies himself in the waters of lake Minnettonka and is fought off by Prince.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

LMAO The waters of lake minnetonka. Game Blouses.

[@codyhathaway7715]

You know how in Halloween 5, Michael is driving around in a muscle car and wears leather gloves when he picks up Tina? Maybe they got inspiration from this script on that?

[@vampirascoffin870]

Good one! Never know

[@danielmarquis5258]

Never have I been excited to see a "Movie Intro" as the one that Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers delivers. That eerie ambience is chilling/creepy as it is genius. I am sure it made moviegoers in 1988 excited while they were sitting in the Theater.

[@GamerGuysReviews]

Side Note: "Taking Shape II" is a great read and worth getting if you're a Halloween fan or are curious to see what direction the series could have gone via the different sequels, spin-offs, and reboots that were pitched.

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

I'd picture Michael in the Porsche, turns the key, & all of a sudden it starts playing Alice Cooper "He's Back (Man Behind the Mask)" To all the people who ask JLC about the hockey mask

[@hiigghhggg9150]

Michael unintentionally killing 12 people in a car because he can’t drive stick is my favorite death scene in the entire series and it wasn’t even filmed.

[@eklypised]

Side note- I was pissed the Ninja Turtles never fought Super Shredder

[@stu1208]

I can just imagine that song "bad to the bone" playin when michael puts the leather gear on .... terminator 2 style lol

[@jimbowlan5804]

Or that playing when he wrecks the car

[@markforcellino409]

The whole script could be transformed into a cool version of Jason takes Manhattan. Honestly really awesome to think about

[@sethfaber3647]

I feel like we should keep the Halloween 4 we have and then use this script for Halloween 5. This movie just would’ve been too fun and I want it!

[@maniaxlives1126]

Honestly, I'm with Mike on this one, this would've been so cool to see on screen if simply just for how 80s it would be. Also, the scene with Michael driving the Porsche? Dude, I swear to God I could hear Billy Idol's White Wedding playing in my head for the scene, the car pulling up with the license plate reading MANIAC1 as Michael peels out, the line from the song saying "It's a nice day to...start again!"

[@itscomplicated11]

The whole picture scene reminded of me the picture scene from Drive Thru. Fuck that noise.

[@Dude-oh8vq]

Haha Super Shredder AKA Kevin Nash was epic back in the cinema in 91'. I can still remember the audience reaction. Almost as epic as the original. 9:32 Gotham CitAAAAYYYY begins playing

[@loslakers530]

You guya should hear john carpenter's version of halloween II. It was set around a few years after the first one and it had laurie strode living in a multiplex apartment. It sounded pretty interesting

[@christopherbirdsong2274]

That sounds like JC first film with Laura Hutton! I'm starting to think DGG read this book. Kills is like them trying to meld everything together. Ends will definitely be this being a nightmare or dream of hers or Michael's. I just can't help but see how this would make sense with some of the things we do know.

[@moshymosh]

Jason Vs. Michael Myers movie would be sick though. I image Michael showing up at the camp because of something similar to this Halloween 4 script. Hoisted up by a gurney but cutting himself loose and falling into Crystal Lake instead. The story continues from there.

[@Night-Owl7593]

A way to do comedy right in the movie is after Michael runs over pedestrians he sits silently and he turns on the windshield wipers to clear blood from the windshield. Just two or three swipes as he sits silently and then he drives away

[@DzHarryNuttz]

H4 was a classic and my favorite installment. Im glad that they didn't go in this direction at all!

[@jimbowlan5804]

I love the original and h2 but 4 was a good return but that mask just lowers it just below 2

[@spazzetastic]

I want that book, I need it NOW. 👏🏻😤 Shiny Jesus, pleaasse spare me the sorrow!

[@byronweaver8941]

More “Taking Shape II “ reviews.

[@Jones183]

I would have killed to see punk rock 80s Michael, could've have been hilarious, but i definitely prefer the actual Halloween 4 that we got lol.

[@Blast2224]

Halloween 4 was JUST the right amount of 80s and 70s mixed together. You had the big hair and the clear time change but the pace and violence and characters remained as important as the original. Halloween 5 might as well had Punk Michael with how much bafoonery; the cops, the suddenly meta Michael Myers prank, the Man In Black, Michael suddenly having a tattoo...Rachel just dying.

[@Jones183]

@@Blast2224 Yea Halloween 5s Michael was hilariously bad, with his untucked in mask

[@chrishansen9731]

@@Jones183Oh that movie was a turd in the gene pool

[@jimbowlan5804]

Tuck that fucking mask in

[@DanielCantinero]

Halloween 4 was good just wish they didn’t kill off Ellie character

[@sharonellis8776]

How the hell does he get off the roof so fast after Rachel falls onto the lawn ??

[@markforcellino409]

True but atleast its awesome how he comes around the corner and just stands there staring at them

[@coltonpanosh8431]

A cool script idea would be if the rockstar was wearing a jumpsuit like Micheal in the first two. Then Laurie while interviewing the rockstar remembers the jumpsuit Micheal wears in the first two movies. Then Micheal kills the rockstar and the groupie and steals the jumpsuit and a Micheal Myers looking mask.

[@jimbowlan5804]

That would be funny as fuck

[@nv8928]

You guys are awesome. 2020 was awful but you guys made me laugh with every video. One of the few things I would look forward to during the year was your videos. Both of you are so funny and great guys, that I consider friends (I know it’s weird lol). Keep up the great work and I hope 2021 is a hell of a lot better.

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

I enjoy the gas station scene and the scene with Loomis in the car with the priest too much to trade it

[@spaceinvader8791]

So many Halloween 4's lol

[@vampirascoffin870]

From 1982-1987 could you believe the many scripts wriiten in those years? Lol

[@spaceinvader8791]

@@vampirascoffin870 well technically 1985-1987 but I get what you're saying.

[@chitownphxman]

The other possible reason Loomis may have been Laurie's doctor, is to make sure she doesn't turn into another Michael.

[@DarthMacchio]

Not gonna lie, that gear shift mishap would've been funny as shit

[@jimbowlan5804]

This movie would probley suck but would only work in the eighties I feel like that scene would only work in a eighties movie

[@DarthMacchio]

@@jimbowlan5804 Haha totally agree with you. Would've been simultaneously awesome and shitty as only an '80s movie can be.

[@jimbowlan5804]

It’s like the evil dead remake I don’t thing if they would have done it the way it was done in the eighties would have worked it the remake you could only get away with it in the 80s and early 90s

[@bIoodybatons]

The key toss, leather jacket and pants reminds me of the Terminator lmfaoo. I'd add some spikes to the jacket though, have the outfit resemble Danny Ketch's Ghost Rider lol

[@glw607]

I liked most of the plotline for the story, but why the hell would they be airlifting Michael Myers on the OUTSIDE of the helicopter?

[@sororitysleepawaymortuary1659]

seems pretty cool. kinda like a Jason Lives version. i'm not really a fan of the comedy and stuff in Jason lives. there's some good idea's here though if they just tone down some of the goofyness. the actual H4 was a little dry, this script was pretty fun.

[@BootlegLizard]

Look up the killer from "boogeyman pop" it looks almost exactly like how Michael is described in this script

[@hollywoodmkx]

The Halloween franchise is never going away. It’s become Bond esque after 40 years.

[@charliipresley]

I’ve seen this movie. It was a masterpiece.

[@venomlayton1394]

The Merkins should do a parody song of Michael again using that concept

[@MrImastinker]

This movie sounds like such a glorious mess.

[@glw607]

Nightmare 4 had "Doe-ken" ? Who the he'll were "Doe-ken"? I remember Dokken.

[@RonSaari-nt7qz]

Dokken like rocking

[@stjanigurka]

Halloween 4: Michael Takes Chicago

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Halloween 4: A New Horror

[@PowerPackers90]

yeah the alternative Halloween 4s and 5s the book go over are so surreal in that they would never work and would feel off, but I also really want to see them.

[@JMDowns9]

I loved this story and I thought this could have been part four, and part four could have been part five.

[@LoneWolfeMedia]

As awesome as this could have been, it would have also been the death of Halloween.

[@Blast2224]

Punk Michael belongs to Halloween 5. You had Tina gagoogaling all the time, the Cops with the clown theme, sudden duplicate Shape masks as an apparent prank, a man in black, sudden tattoos, an ENTIRELY different Myers house...he *should* have had a spiked jacket.

[@RonSaari-nt7qz]

If Michaels jumpsuit got damaged, I wouldn't mind the leather jacket. Not leather pants, not leather cloves, and no flipping up the keys. Some 80s new wave and rock would be fun in a Halloween flick.

[@KingRichard1013]

I literally got taking shape II for Christmas and I’m already halfway done with it, it is such a good book and there was honestly some pretty damn good ideas in the book for some Halloween sequels I’m not gonna lie.

[@PowerPackers90]

So I just downloaded the audible version of this book for work solely because of you guys.

[@thehorrorcounselors4747]

If even a small amount these elements were added to Michaels lore, he would literally be OP for both Freddy and Jason 😂😂 They should think themselves lucky

[@nameonutube123]

love these 👏

[@Ka_Five]

At some point, I'd love for you guys to make a video on the Platinum Dunes Halloween from Taking Shape II. I wanna hear your thoughts on that one, and the Reboot Trilogy one! Those were the most stand out ones to me

[@damanhammerar154life7]

Halloween 4: Mikey Rocks out with hit 🐓 out!🤣 F Yeah!🎸🥁

[@systemmonitor5295]

The thing with all these unused scripts that have crazy action set pieces and lots of legacy characters... there's NO WAY they'd ever have the budget. Look how small scale 4 and 5 feel.

[@sawyerquell6810]

Actually I feel like all of these scripts would work as good fan films to tie in to the different timelines while also not messing up anything with the actual films.

[@kevinskywalker5539]

Me-( looks at title of the video) Also me- So, your telling me that in the original version, Michael stopped wearing coveralls and started wearing biker jacket, and blue jeans?

[@true_crime.]

Somebody should make a parody of this script

[@halloweenevillivesyoutubec2396]

Great job love it !!!

[@igreatlyandpowerfullydisag3681]

I want this movie, specifically for greaser Michael

[@xCookieNationx]

Its hard to think that if Myers looked better in h4 it would be possibly my favorite sequel

[@Yeomannn]

Mask was terrible

I need to get this damn book.

[@goatgoat9647]

Its different though something none traditional

[@JmacJmac-un8ot]

I read that script... it was great till he turned into specter man... or devastator

[@LA_HA]

Of course, You Guys can do a couple of these scenes...

[@thundrstorm99]

It's definitely not a Halloween movie but I like it

[@logangreene7269]

Hey, WeWatchedAMovie. Where can I find this original script for Halloween 4 at?

[@jamespolches6794]

I would honestly love to see this movie cause it feels like a violent looney toones cartoon

[@EverettDudgeon138]

To be honest. One thing that always annoyed me about Michael is how the fuck does he always find the exact same outfit and mask.

[@adilachahbar1301]

Are you brothers? You are similar to each other

[@brandoncollins1225]

You guys keep saying "Malek" Akkad when you mean MOUSTAPHA Akkad. Malek was a teenager when all of this was going on. He didn't take the reigns of the franchise until after his Father and Sister were murdered in a terrorist attack.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Yes we know that, we misspoke.

[@patrickwentzell4638]

I recommended this video to my own sister a few minutes ago that does count a lot because she and I both act like were best friends all the time. I've ranted against these fucking scams that prey on everyone. guys seriously do not send money to the adult Chatlines they aren't worth it. because the beautiful attractive people do not care about anyone just getting money.
