While you wait for David Gordon Green’s Halloween, a 40-years-later sequel to John Carpenter’s Halloween, a group of fans have taken it upon themselves to make their own tribute to the 1978 slasher classic. Much like Gus Van Sant did with his Psycho, directors Michael T. Lombardi and Nils Toledo, Jr. have shot-for-shot recreated Carpenter’s film.

Their short film, premiering July 20, recreates a handful of iconic scenes.

Michael T Originals has teamed-up with TNT Media for this short film project that recreates five iconic scenes from John Carpenter’s 1978 horror film, with great care being taken to be as faithful to the original as possible.

“Local look-alike actors were cast, costumes were duplicated, and locations were chosen that allowed the filmmakers to capture the overall aesthetic of Carpenter’s classic. It should be noted, that the production had virtually no budget, and was a true labor of love for all involved.”

Should be interesting. Head over to Lombardi’s website to learn more.
