Hardcore fans of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are surely familiar with a couple of deleted scenes that have to date never been unearthed, perhaps most notably including an alternate opening wherein Michael Myers washes up at the home of a man named “Dr. Death.” Will we ever see that scene and other excised bits? Well, it seems we might!

Compass International Pictures & Trancas International Films’ official HalloweenMovies.com account tweeted today that the search through the Halloween vaults has begun for all of the infamous “lost” footage from Halloween 5! The site’s editor, Sean Decker, notes that they’re looking for it all: uncut kill scenes, the Dr. Death opening, you name it.

If the footage is there to find, these are the guys to find it, so this is needless to say a hugely exciting development. And we’ll of course update you if/when we hear more.

Meantime, stay tuned to @HalloweenMovies for updates!
