I have the this version on DVD that includes extra footage that was filmed for tv only. Is this version included on the blu ray cut?

No it's only the theatrical edition (the cut scenes are shown in the documentary however). I'm not sure if they'll ever release the extended cut or not.

I hope they dont release 15 different editions like they did on standard dvd. I got tired of every year seeing a different cut of the film. I like the blu version. Its the only one I need.

Now if they would just get around to part 2

Actually the Blu-ray isn't as good as it should be. We need a version with the correct color timing.

Various people who were at the theater in 1978 have confirmed this is the closest to how they saw it there. I have found no evidence that John Carpenter "disowned" this transfer as some people say. True, they did not bring in Dean Cundey to look at it, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't like it if he saw it. The 1999 DVD had ridiculous amounts of blue tint, which some people miss, but there is no evidence I could find showing that this is the one and only version with the "correct" color timing.

+ 1

The transfer itself also has room for improvement.
