Was there a Alternate Opening for Halloween 5?

In Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers  “The Shape” was played by stuntman Don Shanks. The film opens with Myers stumbling out of a mine shaft before making his way to a  cabin near a creek. He is very weak and get’s nursed back to health. And yeah as you guess, he kills more people. 
Director Dominique Othenin-Girard had a different version for a opening scene that he wanted to do. He wanted Myers escaping from the bowls of an exploding mountain before his bullet-ridden body floats downstream. Eventually, he’s rescued by Dr. Death  (Theron “Uncle Thud” Read) who ressurects Myers using an ancient ritual.
Don Shanks was interviewed by Halloween Movies website and talked about the alternate ending:

“(I was) placed on this stone alter, and all around (the set) were things that the production had gotten from witches, and people that sell you the occult. And there were scrolls and different chants and this and that. And (suspended from) the altar, right above me, was this rock that looked like a stalactite – it was on a string and it would circle. And Dr. Death was doing an incantation on me, and then he tattoos on me the Thorn rune, which is the sign of eternal life. And so he does all these incantations, and on Halloween Eve (one year later) I come back to life.”
“So I put the mask on,and I grab Dr. Death by the throat and pick him up over my head and break his back, and then put him on the altar, and take the stalactite and I go through his chest with it. I thought it was one of my better kills. But (later) Moustapha thought it was too much of the occult type thing. So they decided to shoot it differently.”
