Any Michael Myers fans out there? Well, how cool was the documentary Halloween: 25 Years Of Terror directed by Stefan Hutchinson (current scribe of the Halloween: Nightdance comic book), which focused on the entire Halloween franchise? Hutchinson has launched a You Tube channel to host various deleted scenes and clips not in the documentary!
Below you can check out Halloween 5's Michael Myers Don Shanks explain the original opening to Halloween 5. Under that, Brian Andrews, the original Tommy Doyle talks about how Halloween is like a sexual experience. Other clips (thus far) include Halloween 4 novelist Nicholas Grabowsky, Halloween 2's Cliff Emmich and more! Visit the channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/rehab54 or Here!
