Question: At the ending of the director's cut, it shows that Laurie, Michael, and Loomis are all dead. But, the following scene is the ending of the theatrical cut with Laure in the insane asylum. Could somebody clarify this?
Halloween 2 (2009)
2 questions
Directed by: Rob Zombie
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Scout Taylor-Compton, Tyler Mane
Other mistake: When Laurie has her episode in the bathroom about killing Annie, the clock stays at 7:03 the whole time.
Laurie Strode: I'm not me.
Mya Rockwell: Who are you, then?
Laurie Strode: I'm Michael Myers' sister.
Trivia: During the interview, after Dr. Loomis is interrogated by the reporters about Michael, he says, "Let me make things nice and sparkling clear." This is a nod to his role as Alex DeLarge in "A Clockwork Orange."

Answer: When the movie was made there were two possible endings filmed with one being selected for the theatrical release. Filmmakers often pre-screen a film to a test audience to gauge their reaction. This can decide whether or not changes will be made to the finished film, including an alternate ending. The director's cut here is simply showing audiences both scenes that were filmed as an "extra" feature. Other movies have included this, as well as showing deleted scenes.
