HALLOWEEN: Collector's Edition [4K UHD]

There's no need to say anything about the story. Of all the packages released so far, this is number one and the best. Three discs are included in this pachage. # 1: 4K UHD newly scanned from the original negative . Main feature 92 minutes # 2: Blu-ray also scanned from the original negative . Main feature 92 minutes # 3: Extended Edition Blu-ray with the original color timing . Main feature 101 min. The silver halide grain and extremely fine texture are consistent throughout the film. The picture quality, resolution and colour tones are not to mention amazing. 4K UHD supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, and audio supports Atmos, Dolby 7.1, 5.1 and original mono 2.0, so you will be delighted . 4K UHD is undoubtedly the best choice for home theater viewing, they're all worth watching, and each one comes with its own bonus features. The jacket is reversible, and I personally prefer the original "Halloween" design on the back, so I use it with that side out. (Photo attached) Lastly, this package is worth owning and will not disappoint.

In 1978, John Carpenter wrote, directed, and scored his third theatrical feature, “Halloween.” Upon its initial release, it didn’t performed as hoped, so the maverick multi-talent moved forward with his Gothic thriller, “The Fog.” However, after Roger Ebert gave the film a justifiably excellent review, audiences listened-and turned out-in droves, making it the most profitable independent studio feature film until the record was shattered two decades later with the found footage flick, “The Blair Witch Project.” The film was reissued multiple times in theatres, paired in the early 80s with “Halloween II,” was shown on NBC in 1981 with added footage, not to mention numerous VHS, laserdisc, DVD, Blu-Ray, and now this fine 4K remastering included in this great Shout! Factory reissue. Shot in 17 days on a shoestring budget of $320,000, Carpenter’s economical shooting schedule is reminiscent of another cinematic heavyweight, Clint Eastwood. His shadowy lensing style, lean employment of music, and familiar pool of talents is evident in several Carpenter endeavors. In regards to music, his famed 5/4 piano and synth theme is as iconic as the music for “Psycho,” “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” “Jaws,” “Star Wars,” and any other memorable movie scores your mind can recall. This package provides viewers with the sharpest video and best audio, including the somewhat faithful original mono track, vintage documentaries, plentiful interviews, all commentaries (save for the much requested Criterion laserdisc commentary), trailers, as well as the theatrical and television versions. If you are a fan of the film, you instinctively realize that this shall not be the final reissue of this film, but until it’s 50th Anniversary (or the next revisionist take on the horrors of Haddonfield arrives), this “Colector’s Edition” should more than satisfy your “all hallows eve” cravings!

Love it .

I’m a huge fan of Halloween as I grew up with the originals and seeing the original in this amazing upgraded picture reminded me of why I fell in love with this horror movie. The colors pop especially well for a film released in the 70s and even holds up against time. I was noticing detail in plants and trees I never noticed before. Not to mention the color differences in buildings that just added character to the town of Haddonfield. Yeah it’s not crucial, but it’s most definitely the best way to watch this classic horror film. The background actors/actresses are no longer blurred slightly and are visibly noticeable to where each face has just as much clarity as the main characters. Now the audio is INSANE. The Dolby Atmos track provided a new level of immersion for me that I was actually jumping during scares I have seen before over a couple dozen times. The low-end (Under 100 hrs) has so much added detail that it makes you FEEL the tension when Michael appears on screen for a kill. The famous ‘knife in the wall’ scene still gets me with this new audio treat. Just do yourself a favor and watch this movie at moderate volume levels as this is an older film that begs to be listened to at a higher level for scares. So happy with this purchase and the man behind this remaster has earned my trust. Stoked to get the sequels soon and I really hope they do a 6) Curse - 8) Resurrection restoration as well. I don’t expect the Rob Zombie films to be restored by him, but I’ll take the Original 8 any day. : ) Highly recommended!!

Love the Halloween movie and yes

I was hoping that the audio mix would have been fixed, but it wasn't. At the beginning of the movie, a girl and her boyfriend are talking. On all the mixes I've heard on the blu ray and this 4K, you can't really make out what the two are saying. I've seen people watching this movie online and you can clearly hear what the people are saying. I don't know why the surround sound mixes are difficult to listen to.

This classic will remain as one of the best terror classic movies. This 4K/BR version improves the picture and sound. It’s a must for the Halloween fans.

I can't wait for Halloween 2 to arrive I hope it's restoration is as super awesome as this one. I heard a couple of people say the 4K version looked a little grainy, it's not, it's actually the original film stock, as the restoration doesn\t blur it, im sure it's more tech than that but just my two cents.

Ordered on September 27 and arrived today 6th October here in the UK. Looking at some of the recent reviews I was a little unhappy knowing I was likely to get a flimsy slip cover. Which matters to us who like to collect physical media. Well it seems I got a hard cover copy! Tracking well a little off. Stated it was coming with DPD, but code did not work properly. Today, I got an email off Evri saying they would deliver. Fine by me then DPD arrive with the DVD. Either way it arrived safely in the standard Amazon style packaging. My only concern was the DVD’s inside were loose. Luckily no damage and the 4K plays fine. I won’t comment on the movie or picture quality as there on plenty of people on YouTube who are more well versed to tell you all you need to know. DVD and cover have no damage. A must have for any horror fan. Note, the 4k will work on all 4K players but the blu ray discs included are region A locked and will not work unless you have a multi-region player.

An absolute horror classic, now in wonderful 4K.
