Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing 4k blu ray. I wish best buy still sold them because they don’t carry 4k blu ray at all anymore. I rarely go to the store now because of that. It seemed like they sold well in New Hampshire and had alot of great conversions with other customers in the 4k blu ray section. This particular blu ray is an excellent transfer and very enjoyable! 5 star

The 4K disc of the movie Halloween is like a mind-blowing trip to the '70s, man. The picture quality is so sharp, it's like Michael Myers is coming right at you with that iconic mask. And let me tell you, the sound design is killer, dude. The suspenseful music and chilling sound effects will have you on the edge of your seat. So grab your favorite horror flick buddy, turn off the lights, and prepare to scream your lungs out with Halloween in 4K.

Classic Halloween has never looked as good. The picture and audio are great. No real extras on the 4k, but if you are looking for the best this movie has looked, it is worth the investment. It's not like you aren't going to watch this one every Halloween season, you might as well have the best looking one.

HD blueray disc makes viewing like seeing movie for first time.

Bought this on Black Friday. Love the Dolby Vision and original audio tracks, and I like how there are reversable cover arts with the original poster.

Always love purchasing from Best Buy. My first stop for electronics needs, and they usually have a good Blu-Ray/DVD selection. Was glad they had this 4K Blu-Ray disc of Halloween to replace my old DVD that no longer works.

Beautifully remastered movie. Ive loved michael myers since the beginning and its nice to see this remastered

Halloween on 4K ultra HD will be the preferred method of viewing this 1978 horror/slasher masterpiece from John Carpenter. The new transfer and color grading only enhance the chilling experience and atmosphere.

The quality of this is excellent. Is is awsome in 4 K

Anchor Bay has re-released John Carpenter's 1978 masterpiece "Halloween" about as many times as they have the Evil Dead trilogy. It's been almost impossible to know which one to pick up over the years there are so many versions. Halloween was originally released on DVD by Anchor Bay featuring a bad transfer that didn't do the film any justice at all. They then re-released it again on DVD with a transfer approved by the original director of photography Dean Cundey. The transfer was greatly improved but it was lacking in extras for a film of such great importance. Then they released another cut of the film in which the extra scenes filmed for the TV airings of the film (filmed during the making of the sequel oddly enough) were cut into the film. A 4th DVD release then occured as part of their "divimax" line which was a 2 disc set with plentiful extras and a brand new remastered transfer. That 4th DVD release proved to be the most problematic. While the quality of detail was greatly improved, somebody made a huge error in that they completely stripped away the blue tint from the film that made it appear that it was set in the fall. It just didn't look how Halloween was meant to look. A backlash ensued and Anchor Bay claimed to have taken those complaints into consideration with Halloween's blu-ray debut. While the initial blu-ray release did correct some of the color timing errors of the divimax DVD release, it still just didn't look right and it was obvious that they didn't film the movie actually in the fall as the grass was too green and the night time scenes lacked that famous blue tint that gave the film such a great atmosphere. Anchor Bay though have FINALLY righted their previous wrongs and brought director of photography Dean Cundey on board again to supervise the transfer for the film's 35th (has it really been that long?!) anniversary blu-ray re-release. After directly comparing the new blu-ray to the old blu-ray, I can say that they have FINALLY gotten it right and Halloween looks as it was meant to be seen again. The colors in the new transfer are a bit more muted and natural looking than the first HD go around. The blue textures in the night scenes are back in full force and the film looks like it is set in the fall season once again! Not only that, but detail has taken a considerable boost with the new HD transfer compared to the first one. This is apparently due to the higher bit rate on the new release in addition to I believe they actually did a 4K scan this time of the original camera negative. It's truly like seeing the film again for the first time. No digital noise reduction was used so the film retains its filmlike grain texture. A truly amazing HD transfer of one of the greatest films ever made. The sound is provided in a new 7.1 surround mix but the original mono mix is also included. Both are in lossless HD audio. Extras include a brand new commentary track featuring star Jamie Lee Curtis and director/co-writer/composer John Carpenter. Sadly though, the commentary tracks on the prior releases are missing in action. Most extras were ported over but not all from prior releases as well. This is a bit frustrating and keeps this from being as definitive of a release as it could have been. What is here though is nice and the best is a nearly one hour documentary of Jamie Lee Curtis doing her one and only horror convention to help raise money for a children's hospital charity that she supports. The initial pressing of the new blu-ray also is included in a nice & classy digi-book featuring essays and lots of cool production photos. Apparently once this initial run is depleted, it will only be available in a standard blu-ray case so get the digi-pack while you can. So, I highly recommend this new blu-ray to fans of the film as they finally got the film looking like it was supposed to look again and the new HD transfer is truly a marvel to the eyes. Why they chose not to include all previous extras too on this release is a bit frustrating but shouldn't keep somebody from not getting this new release. It blows the original bu-ray away picture quality wise and comes highly recommended!

This Halloween 4K Steelbook is exclusive to Best Buy only and is now sold out, but I am sure you can find it on third-party selling sites such as eBay, Amazon, OfferUp, and Mercari. The only thing different from the original Lionsgate 4K release is the artwork on the actual steelbook. The fall foliage artwork that continues throughout the entire steelbook makes it feel like a fall movie, which it is. There is a digital copy that is included and redeems on Vudu. The new artwork is definitely a nice change from the classic artwork, if you already own other copies of this film already. Definitely worth the pickup if you can get it!!

Amazing movie and this has some of the best quality.

I was ecstatic when this was announced as a 4K release. Jamie Lee Curtis and the cast are great. The story is still spine-tingling every time. A cult classic that never goes out of style.

Loved getting this version of Halloween 1978. Nice edition.

One of the greatest horror films of all time with a brand new 4k scan!

Missed this movie last year. I was finally able to get it on 4k. Great transfer!

The film arrived in perfect condition, but it did not come with its slipcover. and that makes it lose value for a fan or collector. That's why I returned it.

Cannot beat the 4K movie compared to the original quality

A true John Carpenter movie that started it all which lead to a horror franchise.

Teenage sons are showing interest in classic horror films, so purchased this movie to add to the collection.
