Halloween: The Complete Collection (Eight Disc Box Set) [DVD]

Product Information

It seems as though producers have simply recycled an old, dated DVD master, which essentially amounts to a small upgrade.

Contrast is a tad dull, but for the most part, spot-on and well-balanced while blacks are accurate with excellent shadow delineation. The Shape Of Things – A Look At Michael Myers’ Murders And Mayhem With Special Make-Up Effects Artists John Buechler And Brad Hardin And Actor George P. The latter option, of course, employs the surrounds with a variety of subtle atmospherics and strong panning effects.Black levels are often rich and true with excellent delineation, but in the end, the presentation wavers between very good and average. Granted, the revelation is also a bit on the corny side and frankly, takes away, just a little, from Myers' scariness.

Low bass is not very impressive but provides some decently powerful moments that are appreciated without seeming artificial or boomy.Although making it his own and to hispreference, the movie is, quite honestly, not that much better than the last entry, especially when giving Michael a more detailed background and history that essentially ruins everything that makes the character scary in the first place. Or, his equally eerie march towards his next victim, a calm and patient stride that seemed self-assured and unworried his intended prey would escape. HD, 60 min) — A pretty interesting documentary from November 2012 showcasing Jamie Lee Curtis's efforts to generate money for charity. However — and I'm sure this is also true of the most hardened fans — the third entry may be the oddball, black-sheep of the bunch, but 'Season of the Witch' is surprisingly entertaining in its own quirky way and appreciated because of what it originally aspired to be over its failures. For the week of September 24th, Lionsgate Home Entertainment is offering a new 4K upgrade of John Carpenter's landmark 1978 horror movie Halloween.

Michael has had a long but checkered career in movies that vary wildly in quality, even by horror franchise standards. The Nightmare Isn't Over (HD, 45 min) — Lengthy and insightful retrospective on every aspect of the production. The thought was to bring back Carpenter to direct and Jamie Lee Curtis to reprise her seminal role as Laurie Strode. In 2007, horror-themed shock rocker Rob Zombie tried to reboot the franchise with a remake of Carpenter's now classic film, one which not only modernized the original concept but alsore-imaginedit.dba Freestar (“Freestar”) for the purposes of placing certain advertising on the site, and Freestar will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes. Although the story of Jamie Lloyd and Rachel was not very compelling, I remember digging the fact that filmmakers expanded on the Myers universe and touched on a couple supernatural ideas. The Deluxe Edition box is beautifully designed with stunning new art by Paul Shipper and an extensive booklet written by Michael Gingold. The pattern repeats for Halloween 5 with the 2000 featurette Inside Halloween 5 supplemented with the brand new Dead Man’s Party: The Making of Halloween 5. Interviews with Curtis (and her longtime stunt double Donna Keegan), Marianne Hagan, Josh Hartnett and other stars who have appeared in Halloween films, along with trailers and deleted scenes.

First and foremost, this AVC-encoded transfer of 'H20' is an improvement over the previous Echo Bridge and Alliance releases, but unfortunately, it's not by much. The disc still includes two audio commentaries (one with Harris and Ellie Cornell, the other with director Dwight H. The disc also includes the featurette Halloween: A Cut Above the Rest and a Film Fast Facts pop-up trivia feature, as well as the same trailer, TV and radio spots from the first disc. configurations, the soundtrack delivers a wide sense of presence with a clean, distinct mid-range and sharping detailing in the orchestration.Audio Commentary— Sean Clark moderates a pleasing and highly informative conversation between star Jamie Lee Curtis and director Steve Miner, touching on various aspects of the production and filled with several amusing thoughts and memories from the set. Finally, the Deluxe Edition set includes a bonus disc with a mix of old and new bonus material, beginning with an HD presentation of the Extended Version of Carpenter’s Halloween (well, mostly HD… the TV inserts are understandably in standard def). When it comes to the icons of modern horror — Leatherface, Michael, Jason and Freddy — genre fans tend to favor one over the rest. Finally, the set includes 5 episodes of Sean Clark’s Horror’s Hallowed Grounds covering Halloween 4, 5 and 6, the Bus Tour episode with Clark acting as tour guide for a group of fans, and the original 2005 pilot episode focusing on Carpenter’s Halloween. There are also a few changes in the dialogue and scenes that finish with a completely different and more satisfying conclusion.
