Alternate Versions
When Halloween II made its way to home video, an extended version of the film called the Unrated Director’s Cut was released. Running 14 minutes longer, it’s a completely alternate edit of the film that features different character arcs as the result of frequently extended scenes, as well as an entirely different ending.
In addition to the 14 minutes of footage reintegrated into its director’s cut, Halloween II also features over twenty minutes of deleted footage.
