Halloween was always my favorite horror movie and I rushed out to buy the original on BD, but the remake was definitely an awesome movie. Maybe it's because I'm not from the 70's, but the new version is definitely scarier. And the only real difference in the first 40 minutes of backstory, which is interesting and makes him even scarier imo, because we was a creepy ass kid. The second act of the film is pretty damn close to the original, but with updated visuals to look less campy. I know that once I bought the original on BD, it was fun to watch, but I watched it at 2 am in the the dark, BY MYSELF, and I didn't have the slightest chill or anything. It was just kind of funny. At least the new one made me leave the tv on when I went to bed lol. The ending on the Unrated DVD is pretty haunting, to say the least, and I definitely prefer it.
I was waiting for the Blu release too, until I realized it was Weinstein haha. One of my last DVD purchases for sure though.
