The new cut uses teasers from the 2018 film to replace a commercial that aired in 1981 to advertise Halloween’s first television broadcast ahead of the release of Halloween II in theaters.
The edit is tinted in the hues of an old forgotten discolored television set with a background narrator who sounds straight out of the Twilight Zone opening.
It’s interesting to compare it to the original commercial.
For fans of the first-ever Halloween, especially if you remember the 80s commercials for its television broadcast, this take on the new footage brings additional excitement for how much care the film is putting into the revival so that it complements its roots.
