I'm sorry but, aside from a few improvements over the theatrical version, I'm just not a fan of Myers being "Uncle Daddy", him being defeated by stones being placed on the floor, or a ridiculous tattoo just magically appearing on Dr. Loomis's wrist. This movie is awful no matter which version you're watching, but I find the theatrical cut only slightly more tolerable.

I hate the way Jamie dies on a damn corn shredder.👎
shareMe too but I'd rather have that than a Myers who just stands around as a mindless pawn being controlled for the last half of the movie.

That kill is FANTASTIC!! That's what makes this film redeemable. The brutality
shareI liked that kill. Besides, it beats her miraculously surviving it just to get her brains shot out by a complete nobody in the hospital
sharethe Producer's Cut is excellent. the Thorn cult reminds me of the cult in Rosemary's Baby. this was a creepy, suspense filled movie
Simply put, I like my movies to at least make sense. It will never be a very good story no matter what, but at least the Producer's Cut can be followed without leaving one scratching their heads as to what just happened.

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.

I enjoy the Producer's Cut more because there are more scenes with Donald Pleasance and Mitch Ryan (who as a Dark Shadows fanatic it was fun to see in a Halloween movie). Plus, I like the ending with the cult a lot more. It's still near the bottom of the list of my favorite Halloween films no matter what version but the producer's cut is a slight improvement.
shareI dont like the producer's cut although that version makes more sense than the theatrical cut Im just not fond of Michael being a puppet..
The theatrical cut confirms that Michael is still an uncontrollable evil force and Im fine with that despite the movie not making sense.
Neither version made Michael a puppet. I doubt Wynn wanted Michael to off the Strode family so early since it was the plan to have Danny do it, but he was with Loomis most of that time. Even in the P-cut Michael still butchered the cultists, so he definitely was no one's puppet there. Offing Barry Simms wasn't part of the plan either, I think.
You can't control evil and they didn't.

Michael didn't kill Wynn in the producers cut thats how I look at the difference.
shareThen explain how he and Michael switched clothes at the end, willingly? And why pass on the curse to Loomis if Wynn lived? Did he pass out? Was he "freed" from his duties? Why and then what? No. My take is that Wynn was dying, obviously at Michael's hand, no one else around or be the cause then passed his curse to Loomis. So Wynn died in both versions.

The Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 notably gives the character Jamie Lloyd (K.C. Brandy) more screen time. In the theatrical version, Jamie attempts to escape the cult early on—after giving birth to a baby—but Michael tracks her down and kills her quickly. In the Producer's Cut, she's stabbed by Michael but survives for a little while. She's taken to a hospital, where Loomis comes to see her; this makes the moment where Loomis shows up at the hospital and meets Tommy make more sense. Eventually, Jamie is shot by the "man in black" while she's recuperating, but it's at least a better death than the one she had in the theatrical cut where Michael kills her with a corn thresher.share
What's more, before Jamie dies in the Producer's Cut, viewers see flashbacks of her time with the Cult of Thorn. The flashback scene sheds light on why the cult kidnapped Jamie and had her impregnated. In the theatrical release of the movie, it's hard to understand why Jamie suffers the fate she does.
In the theatrical cut of Halloween 6, the storyline that explores the Cult of Thorn—which originated in Halloween 2—is extremely convoluted, rushed, and hard to follow. The cult members are briefly seen in the beginning of the movie, and later appear in Haddonfield to deal with the Strodes. It's hard to fathom why the cult does this, and why the members are so obsessed with Michael. The Producer's Cut delves deeper into the cult's background story, and explains how Michael is tied to the cult. In the last half-hour of this version, Kara Strode (Marianne Hagan) is still kidnapped by the cult, but the pace of the action-packed scenes surrounding that incident is more regulated, making them easier to follow.
