Alternate takes need a home
Hey, remember when word Synapse Films’ Don May Jr. announced an estimated 45,000 feet of negative outtakes from John Carpenter’s Halloween was discovered about three years back? Yeah, we wondered what happened with all of that, too.
It appears that in the last three years May and purchaser Billy J. Kirkus have hit a roadblock. There’s far too much footage for them to transfer and any attempts to drum up interest from Malek Akkad and Anchor Bay, according to May, has been fruitless.
May still doesn’t know just what he has, but he gave Fangoria a glimpse at some screen shots of footage they did transfer. Get the full story here.
