Halloween (Collector's Edition) - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

This is an excellent release for any fan of Halloween franchise. The 4 visuals and amazing audio really add new life to this 1978 release by shout factory. A must own!

We finally get the solo deluxe treatment of HALLOWEEN (1978), starring the young Jamie Lee Curtis and a host of young talent. Directed by John Carpenter, (The Thing, Christine, Assault on Precinct 13), this first original film on the Halloween franchise is now a must to own 4K deluxe package. Not only do we get a nicely done outer clamshell that is not flimsy, we get the reversable insert for the original movie artwork as well. Everything looks good and the motion menus are outstanding with easy selections. All extras have been brought over for this and the other releases individually. The new 2021 4K version is stunning with Dolby Atmos 7.1, if you choose. There is plenty of audio commentary also. All extras are on the 2 Blu-rays, no more analog DVDs. **** The printing on the back of outer box and 4K insert sleeve has some misprinted information on what is on each Blu-ray for the Extras. The Extras are all there on the discs, it's the printing that is the error. Whoever did the final Quality control before it went to print did a lousy job. ****

This was in-store with the rigid hard case I grabbed it for cheap. The movie is a classic.

This is the best this film has ever looked! The 4k looks incredible, the color grading is amazing and definitely worth the pickup!! Scream Factory has finally done justice to a film that has a zealous fanbase. Halloween hasn’t appeared this great in a very, very long time. It looks and sounds phenomenal, I really didn’t care for the new Atmos mix, and I absolutely love the Mono Mix. Whether or not it’s the original mono mix, its sound is fairly close to the original soundtrack that hasn’t been heard since those awful days of LaserDiscs. It’s more likely the last time Halloween will be available on disc, so go enjoy it.

What can be added about this classic that has had it’s elements often copied but rarely equaled? This steelbook does not have the classic artwork, and that may or may not be a selling point to some. Since I own previous versions, I like the new art. Plus, having a blu ray, a 4K disk, and a digital copy made this a must have for me. There’s also a nice behind the scenes extra with Jamie Lee Curtis at a meet & greet with fans. Fun stuff!
