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!

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

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 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!

This is my favorite thriller franchise, and now I finally have the first one on 4K. This one, Halloween 2, and Halloween 2018 are by far the best ones to watch. The 4K transfer looks fantastic. The real beauty here though is the SteelBook. Looks incredible. Love how it comes with a clear slip cover.

I'm a HUGE Movie Fan and I Love Horror Movies. I was completely blown away by the clarity and audio that this release has. There are some spots that are still a little grainy like the Original Release from the Original Negative of the Film. But overall I think it's an Amazing release. I would advise that everyone who loves this movie go to Best Buy and buy it.

Although I bought the 4K SteelBook last year, I had to have this. The color grading looks fantastic and there is more detail on this one. Definitely worth picking this up.

-Feature: Worth the upgrade as it’s one I enjoy watching over & over. A must Have for any Horror fan or A Halloween Movie purchase. Pros: -Picture; Dolby Vision that looked impressive. - -Frame; 2:35:1 -Slipcover; No. Cons: -Sound; While I do appreciate & noticed a new 7.1 audio track, it lacked rear channels. I wish it had gotten completely remastered to drown out the flat/distorted mono sound. It was ear piercing to turn it up. While I do prefer to preserve it, I think it should’ve been optional on the drop down menu with a new Atmos mix that would provide gunshots of today with great sounding impact. When the theme came on though, it was a different story! I was bassy too, I don’t know if it’s been like that & I just noticed or it just got added but I loved it!! -Digital Copy; no digital copy. You think you would for buying the 4K premium copy. Sigh. -Gear used for sound & visuals: LG 65’ C6P 4k/3D passive OLED (manually calibrated) 9.2 Onkyo RZ + pre amp for 7.2.4/11.2 (integrated calibrated then manually tweeted with SPL sound level meter & balance/adjust for full dynamic range) Klipsch Reference Premier towers center sides rears dual R112SW subs Polk Audio MC80 8’ quad in-ceiling heights Oppo 4K UDP-203 Monster cables: Premium Black Platinum HDR HDMIs, THX Audio RCA, Digital Subwoofer Cables & Fiber Optic Ultra 1000 Monoprice 14 gauge awg copper speaker wire Nakamichi Speaker Plugs Auralex Acoustic Isolation platforms

Im very happy with the steelbook. The video quality is a nice upgrade to the 1080p blu ray, but it is not night and day. There is a good upgrade in the audio department on this 4k transfer. I wouldn't use this to demo my display, but for fans of Mr. Myers, this is a welcome steelbook addition to the series. The picture is noticeably smoother and repaired during the daytime shots. This is a very dark film though, so it wont be burst with color from your panel.

I love this movie so much and right now best buy make this movie in 4k, awesome

The video is native 4K, HEVC averaged low 70’s in Mbps. Great details, color and looks better than any version I’ve seen before. The ATMOS audio is okay. Audio is about 4.3 Mbps. Con. Vocals come from the rears and it’s distracting to me. It’s packaged with a nice slip cover. Worth it overall.

This is the best this film has ever looked the 4k looks incredible the color grading is amazing worth the pick up

Wow !! Perfect Steelbook, a must have for fans a collectors get it while you can, value will go up before you know it.

Great picture and a beautiful steel book! These Beat Buy exclusives are really with adding to your collection.

Love the steel book cover! Sadly the 4K disc artwork remained the same.

Amazing 4k release. Puts all other to shame. Definitely buy this!

Wonderfully restored Classic Movie Halloween from 1978 really Like collecting The Steelbooks!

This is actually my favorite horror movie of all time. I love that it is set up on Halloween and it’s a masterpiece.

Wasn’t what the photo display was. Different case. Still the anniversary edition. Just not the one they show. Disappointed.
