I read it back in the late 90's.
Have no idea where you would find it now but I assure you, it's absolutely terrible.
Alright, I've got three Farrands scripts for H6. One of them I found online rather quickly and seems that it was posted here. Another may have been from before the first draft I mentioned, it's where Michael and the baby disappear at the end. The last of them is labeled "1st", but I believe the person that gave it to me is the one that labeled it do, and I'm not convinced it's first but it's definitely an earlier draft. Jamie lives until the final act.
Can you send me the script where Jamie lives until the end? Thanks :)

Try this.
I recall the Rosenberg script but I honestly cant remember what in particular was Farrand's original script.
His OG script has never made its way online, but there are a bunch of different drafts out there, including one where Jamie doesn’t die until the final act
That's the one I read and I loved the absolute hell out of. I thought it was amazing. Literally gave me nightmares, and it's the only script (Halloween or otherwise) to ever do that. As for where to find it, I wish I knew. The copy I read was posted on the old OHMB and was there for all to read right up until the damn site mysteriously short circuited.
I have a few H6 scripts I believe. I'll check and report back. Don't get your hopes up though :).
Where did you see Farrands script being praised? It reads like dim-witted fan fiction written by a 13-year old.
Regardless, do you know where I can read the script? I don’t know which script is the original draft that Farrands wrote
I'm being down-voted for thinking the script for Halloween 6 is garbage?
Really?
I didn’t downvote you for the record lol. I just want to know where I can find the script. Hopefully someone here has a link!
Spoiler in my question but
Is it the one with the 3rd sister?
I don't remember anything with a third sister.
Consider yourself lucky then
I wish I could remember. I feel I read it not long after the film came out. I would say around 1996 if I had to guess.
It might have been hosted on a 'Halloween' movie site, but I vaguely remember that it was from a message board of some kind and a guy emailed it to me.
When I say it read like fan fiction, what I mean is that Farrands was trying to tie up all kinds of loose ends in the story but also bringing in references to all of the other movies, callbacks, easter eggs, etc. and the entire thing was just a big mess.
That being said, have you ever read the script Halloween 666: The Origin of Michael Myers? I can't remember who wrote it, but it's also really bad.

That one was soo..... Bad! Talk about a total departure from an iconic character 😳. To think it would have gone in a much much worse direction is something I didn't expect, I mean a homeless Michael Myers 😵 A third long lost sister that hasn't been mentioned in any of the previous movies, a virtual reality subplot that also happens to contain a possible origin of MM himself.
That one was clearly taken out from the novel(at least the novel's way of telling the origin was better)
EDIT: I found two scripts but idk if the Daniel Farrands one is the original draft. The other one is Phil Rosenberg's bonkers early draft of the script.
