HALLOWEEN: Collector's Edition [4K UHD]

Love how the 4k looks on my tv. Definitely an improvement

Where it all started such a classic movie

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.

A real treat seeing a higher quality version of a true classic. Some movies you can watch once, even if good and have no desire to watch again. Then their are movies where you can keep watching over and over again and not get tired of them and enjoy like the first, this is one of those movies.

Amazing release by Shout! restoring the 1978 original shot on 35mm to full, glorious 4K. The Blu-ray is Region 2, but the 4K is region free.

I’m glad I got this cheaper because it was out of the plastic, no hardcore, & the disc holder was broken. But whatever, at least I got my favorite movie. I’ll replace the case some other day

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!

Definitely one of the best horror films or even films of all time. Incredibly suspenseful, nothing even happens till Halloween night and you're still on edge the entire time. The only sequel that ever felt like a good follow up to the original was Halloween 2 but even the plot revelation that Michael was related to Laurie felt rushed. It's not a bad reveal, it's certainly not as cliche as some make it out to be either. I do feel like they never reached the heights of this one however. Halloween didn't need excessive gore or a larger plot about taking Michael Myers down to be terrifying, it was the slow methodical approach Michael took towards the pursuit of his victims and his never ending relentless pursuit of them that made him scary. He'd play with his food or silently observe it before going into full threat mode which makes the showdown absolutely tense. Michael Myers shouldn't be fighting mobs or partaking in cults or be overpowered by some evil teenager it's just silly the current state of the franchise. This movie has such a simple and effective formula that can't be replicated for some reason. I really wish people UNDERSTOOD Halloween so maybe we could have had better sequels. Definitely worth a viewing every Halloween.

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.

If you haven’t seen Halloween, the original 1978 version in all its glory 2K transfer you’re missing the quality brings you didn’t even better. The sound is impeccable. John Carpenter is best and started a whole trend of movies. Watch it if you haven’t seen it and by the way, the team that sent me this, the packaging was fantastic and it arrived on schedule.
