10 Horror Movie Endings You Can No Longer See
10. Michael Gets Shot With A Crossbow - Halloween (2018)
David Gordon Green's 2018 Halloween sequel concludes with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer), and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) trapping Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) inside the basement safe room of Laurie's home before setting it on fire.
But Green's original scripted-and-shot ending for the film was quite different, with Michael mortally wounding Laurie in a knife fight, before Karen shows up and shoots Michael with a crossbow.
The film ended with Laurie seemingly succumbing to her wounds while Michael wandered off into the woods to apparently bleed out, yet this ending ultimately didn't score well with test audiences, and so was eliminated through reshoots.
Beyond a single, fleeting glimpse of actress Judy Greer holding the crossbow in B-roll footage, the original ending hasn't been seen outside of secretive, NDA-clad test screenings.
The inferno climax we got certainly sounds like a more impactful way to end the film - and led to a killer opening sequence in Halloween Kills - but it'd still be neat to see this alternate take.
