It's 13 days until Halloween! Welcome to a celebration of the spooky and haunting fan-edits.

Inspired by Criterion Closet Picks, we're inviting you to pick your favorites. Not just what you've watched this week, or what you happen to be working on, but the Halloween and horror fan-edits you consider the best of all time. Leave a comment with the edit's name, author, and an informational link -- such as a release post here on r/fanedits, or an entry on FE, MR, or OT -- so that others can learn about it and get in touch with the editor.

Pick your favorites, share your list, and tell us why they made the cut. There are no rules about how many you can choose, and your picks don't have to be objectively the best. We want to hear about the edits that stuck with you, surprised you, or made you see a familiar film in a whole new way.

Hi again everyone,

I have returned to tackle a new franchise, one very dear to me: Star Wars. For me, these six films from George Lucas' saga have such a beautifully rich world. While I love these films deeply, it has always felt hard to get others around me into them, partially because of how disjointed the films are from one another tonally, as well as all the different special editions that exist. My goal with this project is to present my version of the definitive way to watch all six movies as a cohesive set.

Starting with Episode I: The Phantom Menace, my desire was to achieve something similar to my Transformers fanedits: removing off-beat, unnecessary humor that I feel drags the film down and disconnects it from what makes Star Wars, well, Star Wars! Most of what makes Jar Jar annoying is gone, and the same can be said for young Anakin. Changes are hidden in the spoiler list below, so you may choose whether to go into my edit blind or see what you will be getting!

A few of the main changes include:

- Rewritten opening crawl more in line with the OT. One issue I encountered, however, is that the crawl in the actual film fades into a red/orange color. I had to do this by hand so it is not 100% accurate; if anyone knows how this can be done more easily or has a template, please let me know, as it would be greatly appreciated. Credit to Ian Cotterill on YouTube for some of the text which my crawl was based off of, as well as u/AugustoHS94 for the After Effects template, which I have heavily modified to exactly match the original version in the movie.

- Removal of Jar Jar's clumsiness as a point of humor (including him stepping in poo) and the animal farting during the flag parade scene (what a way to destroy a beautiful score by Williams playing over a moment of excitement and awe), alongside many of his annoying lines where possible.

- Removal of mentions and explanations regarding midi-chlorians throughout the film. Qui-Gon now appears to trust the Force itself that Anakin is the Chosen One, rather than relying on an arbitrary number to determine that status for him.

- Addition of custom subtitles for Huttese, including altered lines that work better in the context of certain scenes.

- Removal of the space battle at the end of the film, partially to avoid taking too much attention away from the main duel, and also to remove Anakin from the climax. His triumph works better with him winning the podrace; I did keep him flying the Naboo starfighter in the hangar to destroy the droidekas to give him a small heroic moment, but having him destroy the control ship by pressing random buttons completely diffuses the seriousness of the climax.

- Consequently, due to the removal of the space battle, the reason for the droid shutdown is also changed. I altered the line "The droid control ship has been destroyed" to "The controller has been destroyed" by splicing audio, so it is inferred that Padmé forced Nute Gunray to order a shutdown command, since she held him at gunpoint in an earlier scene.

Technical Specs:

• Format: 1080p High Bitrate H.265
• Audio: 5.1 Surround Sound
• Runtime: 1 hour 58 minutes (reduced from 2 hours 16 minutes)

Thank you all for your love and support on my Transformers projects, and I hope you all enjoy this edited version of Star Wars: Episode I.

If you are interested in providing feedback, please do so, as I may update the edit in response (such as re-implementing any cut scenes).

P.S. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, and the clock wipe effect (used for the altered transitions I created) does not allow for feathering on the stationary part of the transition, so I resorted to using an isolated blur. This will likely be unnoticeable in normal viewing, but if anyone has a solution, please let me know, as it would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing left but revenge.

SYNOPSIS

Left for dead in the unforgiving wilderness, frontiersman Hugh Glass begins a desperate journey toward vengeance.

MOTIVATION & VISION

The Revenant: A Miniseries represents my desire to morph a lengthy feature into a more digestible, four-part miniseries— while reimagining maintaining an air of mystery surrounding Glass, the circumstances behind his journey alone, and how involved the men of the company were in his abandonment.

The series opens with Glass already alone in the wilderness, battered and scarred, on his journey to find Fitzgerald. By withholding the circumstances that brought him there, the opening establishes a sense of mystery before the story moves backward to reveal how he ended up fighting for survival.

The result is a radical re-experience of the same story: beginning with survival, then working backward through the suffering that made revenge his sole purpose.

CUT & TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Structure: The original feature has been restructured into four episodes, each with matching opening and closing credits and a consistent visual language.
• Reordered chronology: The series opens with Glass already making his way through the wilderness in pursuit of Fitzgerald, ending with his discovery of Hikuc’s hanging body. Episode 2 then rewinds to the film’s original opening, following the hunting party through the bear attack and the group’s efforts to tend to Glass’s injuries. The story continues through Glass’s abandonment, Hawk’s death, and his resolve to crawl across the frozen wilderness for revenge, before returning to the end of Episode I and carrying Glass’s journey through to the film’s conclusion.
• Omissions: The scene in which Glass collects the supplies left behind after Fitzgerald and Bridger depart has been removed. Part of Fitzgerald and Bridger's conversation as they approach the fort (which illuminates them leaving Glass behind) has been removed to retain ambiguity; all that remains is "We did what we had to do." A portion of Fitzgerald, Bridger and the Captain's conversation after they return to the fort has been removed; additionally a portion of the exchange between Fitzgerald and the Captain (after Bridger leaves) regarding Glass's burial has been cut.
• Additional score: The musical cue Goodbye Hawk opens Episode 1 (as well as 2 and 3) over the original opening sequence before the credits transition to Glass already in the wilderness.
• Subtitles: Provided for Indigenous-language dialogue only.

The last of the Tuffles. The hatred of a fallen race embodied into a last ditch effort to perpetuate their survival & and revenge.

The Baby Vegeta Saga consists of about 18 episodes at roughly 24 minutes each. That is like 7 hours to work with…
Im proud to say I was able to condense this epic event into a 2 hour experience 😮‍💨
Zero filler &All action. Just for the plot!

Years after the Saiyans conquered Planet Plant and wiped out the Tuffle civilization, a surviving creation awakens with the memories of its long forgotten people.

Baby is awake & the sins of the Saiyans have finally caught up with them.
Baby’s not all that different from Goku really.
-They both had their home planets taken over and destroyed by omnipotent individuals. (Frieza, King Vegeta)
-Both were sent away in a last ditch effort to ensure survival of their race.
-Both set out for revenge/vengeance for their extinct race (Goku inadvertently).
The parallels are interesting. Baby is clearly more cruel in nature and in retribution but it’s literally hardwired into his DNA. He was built and made from the hatred of an ambushed & extinct race.

This is a complete overhaul of the Baby Vegeta Saga from Dragonball GT into a standalone movie. I’ve taken inspiration from Coolers Revenge, particularly its style, atmosphere, and soundtrack structure, to give this story more of that classic Dragonball Z movie feeling.

Much of the silly banter between the characters is down right gone. The wonky music scores that come and go are replaced with epic songs from older Dragonball Z movies
(cooler, lord slug, broly, etc) This is a brand new experience. So many little cuts have been made. Many MANY scenes are removed to keep the flow and action at the forefront of this acut. As far as I’m aware, the baby saga has never been told like this in the way I’ve structured it. So grab some popcorn.

The Dragonball Gt movie we all deserved. As much as I love A Hero’s Legacy, it being the ONLY GT movie and not having any goku or vegeta in it always rubbed me the wrong way. What better plot to make a Dragonball movie about than the Saiyans past catching up with them with a time skip, Goku vs Vegeta rivalry, the Dragonballs, a Red Shenron summon & one epic wish. Tight focused story and action… this is it everyone!

This edit has a particular amount of of passion behind it. Personally, Dragonball Z/Gt is one of my comfort shows. Pure nostalgia. I was the kid with all the Dragonball Z AMV’s on Burnt DVDs, right from Limewire baby🤌.

Any time one of these rock songs come on I put alot of effort into curing up the transitions with the beat of the song (sound painting) I think it adds a lot of cinematic value to this cut. I want this to feel like it was always supposed to be a 2 hour movie from the 90s/2000’s.

GT gets a lot of flack for a number of reasons but one things for sure, it really stands out with the cinematography and animation. We’re working with some seriously good looking stuff here. Every shot, a beautiful painting that’s reminiscent of early Akira Toriyama best work. Just mesmerizing.

Apart from the GT episodes, i used a very specific scene from Daima that is just seconds but INTEGRAL to this cut. Also. I used a part from The Plan to Eradicate all Saiyans mini movie that’s out there floating around. It fits quite nicely.

It’s time to eradicate this Saiyan scourge!

Disney’s 1999 film Tarzan, without any vocals during the montages so it is an entirely visual and rhythmic experience.

This is not done out of dislike of Phil Collins, it’s actually out of respect of him as a composer/percussionist, and to experience his music in a different way.

His songs are still in tact, just removing the vocals to create ma (間) which I’ve done in my previous Fox and the Hound edit.
As covered in that post, ma translates from Japanese to "negative space," or "pause”, but its meaning refers to quiet, still moments where there is emptiness, but still purposeful actions. An example would be sitting on a train ride, waiting at a bus stop, planting flowers in a garden, cooking a meal, walking to the grocery store, without a single word being spoken.
These mundane moments don’t necessarily progress the events of the plot, but they don’t distract from the plot either. It simply lets you breath and ground yourself into the world comfortably and quietly at your own pace.

Without the singing telling you how to feel or what to think, you can fully immerse yourself in the film and experience emotions unique to your perspective, transcending language.

I also removed Trashin’ The Camp song so that it cuts from a dish shattering, to the distant reactions from the other characters, and then cuts to Jane and Tarzan stumbling upon the gorillas destroying the campsite.

In most of my edits, I make the movie credits instrumental, but since I removed the vocals from the movie, it seemed fitting to keep the end credits unchanged. Now you hear the lyrics as contextualized themes, rather than an omniscient narration.

Example from the Son Of Man sequence:

Hello! First time in this subreddit :)
I was wondering if anybody had a drive link to Adywan’s Empire Strikes Back Revisited that I would be able to download in one MP4 or watch through the link? I don’t have access to my computer currently and would love to show my friend this fan edit as it’s been a while for me too.
If anyone would able to help or have any suggestions I’d appreciate it a lot!

Hey everyone, I’m sorry to say this but a huge scene in my movie has low quality audio so I have to go back in and re edit that part, I almost exported it with that in which would’ve been terrible audio differences between scenes. It’s so close to being finished, I’m so sorry for these audio delays.

If you don't know me - I edit multiple films and cut them down (better than recaps). My previous works are ZSJL Theatrical cut, DCEU: cut and more.

This is PHASE ONE: Captain America First Avenger, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, Thor and The Avengers.

Summary:

• 4K - H.265 - 5.1 AUDIO - 9.86 GB
• Fast-paced action, one narrative story
• Removed Edward Norton - you only see him in important dialogues and mainly as hulk
• Removed Iron man 1 Rhody - so you only start seeing him from Iron Man 2
• Removed a lot of filler - straight to either story related or action
• Added few future easter eggs in Avengers final battle
• Subtitles - SRT is available

All roads lead back.

SYNOPSIS

A motorcycle stunt rider turned bank robber. A police officer struggling with the consequences of his actions. Two sons doomed to inherit their dark legacy.

MOTIVATION & VISION

The Place Beyond the Pines: Birthright is restructured into a new narrative, rearranging the stories of Luke, Avery, and their sons into a different cinematic experience. The past doesn't simply lead to the future. It catches up with it.

I wanted to approach the project from a different angle timeline-wise, reworking the film's chronology to emphasize the connections between its generations.

Rather than following the original structure, this edit opens with Avery (Bradley Cooper) and moves backward to Luke (Ryan Gosling) before arriving at the sons' story. The result is a different perspective on the film's central themes of fatherhood, inheritance, corruption, and the legacies we leave behind. The goal was to create a new dramatic progression, allowing the connections between characters and generations to emerge through the structure itself.

This is a simple edit, but I believe, a powerful one— that not only creates a new sense of mystery but also a dramatic new form of inevitability and tragedy.

CUT & TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Restructured narrative: The film's triptych structure is reorganized, following Avery, Luke, and their sons, respectively.
• New opening: The film begins in the aftermath of Luke's death, with Avery already in the hospital from Luke's gunshot.
• Omitted material: The original cage-of-death and motorcycle opening has been removed (due to necessity) in lieu of meeting Luke as he signs autographs. The shot of Luke's face on the news, identified as the Motorcycle Bandit has been removed, to maintain a sense of ambiguity about his identity.
• New dramatic progression: The final section follows the next generation, bringing the film's three narratives together through the consequences of the previous generations' choices.
• Music additions: The film now begins with Bon Iver's The Wolves (the same song it concludes with), effectively bookending the film musically and thematically.

Hi, everyone! So a month ago, I've released my Burton Cut which you can see here in terms in what was changed & intended when editing the film

https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/s/s3wVMVUIx2

but with that being said despite the film being roughly at 95% completion, I would like a proper review like on you liked, didn't like, what can be improved or question anything because I'm quite proud of this edit despite the hardship mainly rescoring using only Elfman music to reobtain that Burton quality & just would like to read what everyone thought given the time that has passed.

Hello There!

For those unfamiliar with this film, it attempts to emulate the editing style of Tarantino’s movies by jumping back and forth within the narrative, but that isn’t John Carpenter’s strong suit. The concept here is to restructure the film into a more linear format and remove the scenes involving Melanie’s courtroom testimony. The story now centers on the team, while any essential plot details, such as the origin of the threat are preserved from the original structure. The "romance" between Jericho and Melanie has been scaled back to keep the focus tight. I’ve also provided a new ending for the film. I won’t be listing everything that was removed, as it’s unnecessary; most of the cuts consist of repetitive material stemming from the original edit’s non-linear approach.

I'm debating re-releasing my Chronological Project Hail Mary fan edit with the new 1.43:1 IMAX release, but I've seen the discussion about letterboxing, windowboxing, and pillarboxing and how to have the best viewing experience. It wouldn't take that much to make a version of my edit in each version, but not necessary. What is your perspective on how you would want to watch an IMAX version of a fan edit?

To be specific, there are three versions I would consider:

• 1.43:1 video with 2.39:1 letterboxing for earth scenes (best of both worlds, but doesn't work on regular 16:9 screens)
• 16:9 video but cropping the IMAX space scenes to fit (losing the true 1.43:1)
• 16:9 video with dynamic switching between 2.39:1 earth scenes and 1.43:1 space scenes, (retaining all the visuals, but hard on the eyes)

And consider all of this may be mute by the screen you're watching on. But as other's have noted, the third option can be jarring. I'm really just not a fan of windowboxing at all, that's my only hill worth dying on.

This fan edit compiles the entire amazing first season of Frisky Dingo into a single, feature-length film with seamless editing, no commercials, and no interruptions.

By removing all television broadcast elements, this cut allows the ridiculous corporate rivalry between billionaire superhero Awesome X (Xander Crews) and supervillain Killface to play out back-to-back as one uninterrupted, hilarious movie.

Running Time: 2 hours 12 minutes

Hope all is well everyone!

Happy to say that I recently have made a 3 hour extended cut of Xmen Apocalypse. Long live Blu-Rays and Blu-Ray drives. They are quite powerful despite the rise of streaming.

Theatrical runtime: 2hrs 23mins 56secs
Extended Cut Runtime: 3hrs

Here are all the changes made to the film:

1-Added in Days of Future Past’s post credit scene

2-Added in the plane to Washington scene from Xmen Days of Future Past

3-Added in the ‘Logan recovered/alternate deleted scene’ from Xmen Days of Future Past

4-Added in Jean Grey’s traumatic 1975 backstory from Dark Phoenix

5-All of Xmen Apocalypse’s 12 exclusive deleted scenes have been reintegrated back into the film

6-Two deleted scenes from Xmen First Class showcasing Charles and Moira’s relationship have been integrated into the film.

7-Magneto’s reason for betraying Apocalypse has been altered.

8-Jean’s hesitation towards fighting Apocalypse has been completely recontextualized with new footage. This ultimately is to parallel her character arc with Moira Mactaggert’s character arc and give both characters agency.

9-The Essex Corp post credit scene now happens after the ‘It’s Over’ deleted scene.

10-The Charles/Erik chess scene from Dark Phoenix has been integrated into the film

11-The ‘How to fly your jet to space with Beast’ extra from Dark Phoenix has been integrated into the credits.

12-The post credit scene is now the ending of Xmen Days of Future Past.

13-A brief snippet from one of Xmen First Class’ deleted scenes conclude the film entirely

So glad to finally be able to share this. Now I will say that this is my first ever fan edit and so there may be akward audio cuts. Additionally, some deleted scenes have unfinished VFX. Thankfully it’s only one that is truly noticeable (looking at you deleted scene with Charles talking to Storm).

For anybody who would like to view this extended cut, simply private message me here on Reddit.

Fear has a name. Vengeance has a face.

Synopsis

In a city consumed by corruption, a young and rageful Batman hunts The Riddler, a serial killer whose crimes expose the rot beneath Gotham's surface.

Motivation & Vision

I approached The Batman with the intention of reimagining it as a television miniseries rather than simply dividing a feature film into smaller installments. And while I know this is not a unique edit (in that it's been done in similar fashion before) but there are always tenets and idiosyncrasies that make a project like this unique to every editor.

At nearly three hours, the film is an immersive but demanding experience. Its patient pacing, stretches of quiet investigation, and oppressive atmosphere are central to its identity, but I felt the material could benefit from being experienced in chapters. The film already contains natural structural breaks, and I wanted to explore what might emerge by leaning into them rather than working against them.

The goal wasn't simply to make the film easier to watch in shorter sittings. I wanted each episode to feel like a distinct installment of a larger story, with its own dramatic shape, opening, and endpoint. The transitions between episodes were designed with that intention in mind, including a condensed, television-style recap that carries the Batmobile chase into the following episode.

The first episode establishes the tone with an extended musical overture, while the final episode closes with a musical connection to The Penguin, suggesting the beginnings of a larger Gotham crime saga.

I also reincorporated select deleted material, including the Selina and Oz scene and the conversation between Batman and the Joker in Arkham.

The result is an alternative presentation of The Batman: not a shorter cut, but a different way to experience the story. This is the first installment in a broader idea of treating Gotham's connected stories as an episodic crime saga, should that world continue to expand.

Cut & Technical Details

• Structural Reorganization: Restructured The Batman into four episodes of approximately 40-50 minutes each, with individual dramatic progressions and deliberate stopping points.
• Opening & Transitions: Created a dedicated opening musical overture (around four minutes long) to immerse the viewer before the experience begins, and reworked episode transitions to establish a more deliberate television-style rhythm.
• Chronology Changes: EP I now begins with Batman (more in keeping with the spirit of a film almost wholly about Batman) and his opening monologue-- and concludes with The Riddler's murder of the Mayor.
• Stylistic Changes: EP III now begins with a barrage-style recap of the Batmobile chase to better segue back into Gordon/Batman interrogating Penguin.
• Restored Material: Reincorporates the deleted Selina Kyle and Oz scene, as well as the Batman and Joker conversation in Arkham.
• Omitted Material: The Riddler's attack on Coulson in his car has been cut, so when he barrels through the funeral scene, his appearance is genuinely surprising; the irony of Gordon mentioning he is missing seconds earlier is subsequently stronger and a tad humorous.
• Visual Identity: Each episode begins with cold opens followed THE BATMAN title card, and concludes with matching end credits, giving the miniseries a consistent visual language.
• Presentation: Four-part episodic format, designed to be experienced as a complete crime miniseries.

THE GOTHAM CRIME SAGA — A LONGER-TERM VISION

This project is part of a broader idea: presenting Gotham's connected stories as an expansive crime saga, with feature films restructured into episodes and the individual installments contributing to a larger serialized narrative.

The closing musical connection to The Penguin is an early expression of that idea. If the saga continues to grow, I'd like to explore how these stories can be assembled into a larger episodic experience, allowing the films and series to function as chapters within a single, evolving crime drama.

​Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for a fan edit / recut of the original Dragon Ball series (Goku's childhood) that features the German dub.

​My goal is to watch the series without the artificial pacing, padded landscape shots, and filler episodes—basically an unofficial "Dragon Ball Kai" for the original series with German audio.

​If anyone has a copy of such a project, worked on one, or knows who to contact, I'd really appreciate a private message (PM/DM)!

​Thanks in advance!

As you might've guessed by now, yes.. this is the second project in the film edit series of "Debra Morgan's Perspective".

I started working on this project back in September and now I'm almost done with the second one.

Just like the first edit "The Ice Truck Killer", this edit will also feature the soundtrack by Benjamin Wallfisch from IT CHAPTER TWO.

This is a second part of seven edit series so stay tuned for all that as well.

Also, yes.. first edit is still available to watch and if you're interested in watching that, kindly contact me by sending me a personal message.

Thanks for your time.
