FRIGHT EXCLUSIVE PIRATE COMMENTARY – HALLOWEEN 6: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS with writer Daniel Farrands
November 24, 2011
If you’re like us, you’re probably still mourning the fact that Halloween 2011 has passed and we’re now officially a whole 11 months away from experiencing Halloween all over again. But why let that deter us from delivering some extra cool Halloween goodies?! Let’s keep the spooky spirit going!
And in honor of our “pirate commentary” series, where we’ve already delivered you free tracks for CHILD’S PLAY, FRIGHT NIGHT and NIGHTWING, we thought it’d be fun to bring in screenwriter Daniel Farrands who got his start with HALLOWEEN 6: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS! Farrands has since gone on to produce THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, the bonus content for the FRIDAY THE 13TH DELUXE EDITIONS and the upcoming AMITYVILLE sequel.
Long known for it’s controversial production history which spawned multiple cuts including the infamous bootlegged “producers cut”, Dan gave us the full run down in our extensive Icons Of Fright interview back in June of 2005. But now, we invite you, our devoted Icons readers and friends to sit down with us, grab your HALLOWEEN 6 DVD or Blu-Ray and a few beers and join Icons Of Fright and Dan Farrands as we talk candidly about Michael Myers 5th outing! Listen to it in the player below or download the MP3 HERE.
Special thanks to Joseph Bishara for continuing to allow us the use of his studio and for recording this and other Pirate Commentary tracks.
