Halloween sequels on the way? - Blu-ray Forum

Vorhees13 · 02-21-2011, 02:32 PM

Check it out. I think this applies to Halloween 6, 7, and 8 whcih are avialable in Canada through Alliance, but there a no extras on that release.

Miramax has entered into a domestic distribution agreement with Echo Bridge Entertainment to distribute 251 of its titles on DVD and Blu-ray. Among the films are select titles from the HALLOWEEN, HELLRAISER and CHILDREN OF THE CORN franchises.

Echo Bridge President Michael Rosenblatt expressed excitement in adding the titles, adding that "many have tremendous star power and are cult classics." Miramax CEO Mike Lang added that, despite being around for years, many of the films "have never been fully exploited."

No word on which films in each series will get the high definition treatment, but it's always good to see a genre movie get the upgrade

this would apply to Halloween 6 and onward but unfortunately not to HALLOWEEN 2, 3, 4. and 5 since they were released by different studios..

would love to get H20 however...

Same here.

miller_time22 · 02-21-2011, 03:57 PM

I'm in for all of these whenever they do get released.

GuyOfOwnage · 02-21-2011, 04:06 PM

I'm with everyone else who already has the Canadian triple feature. I'd much rather see parts 2 through 5, but what can ya do?

I agree, Part 2 would be at the top of my want list out of the entire series.

DetroitSportsFan · 02-21-2011, 05:01 PM

Im hoping 6-8 are released separately with better encodes.

^They look really good on the Alliance release, especially Curse and Resurrection. H20 looks probably as good as it's going to get as well. But my holy grail of my Halloween collection would be The Curse of Michael Myers special edition with extras and the Producer's Cut.

I'm really anxious to get parts 2 though 5 as well.

Aside from the interlacing, I felt the transfers were quite good. Making them progressive would be about the only improvement I could see for those 3 titles.

F13BluRay · 02-21-2011, 05:23 PM

Im pretty sure bluray.com as already posted this news bit. Something about? Miramaxs catalog titles being sold which included Halloween Hellraiser and Children of the Corn sequels. On the otherhand it looks like Lionsgate is handling some as well since they are releasing the Scream Trilogy.

J-Syxx · 02-21-2011, 05:28 PM

Looking forward to these films being released in better condition thatn the crappy Canadian tripple pack. Hopefully, that comment about the films not being "fully exploited" refers to the producer's cut of H6 and the director's cut of H20.

blufellas · 02-21-2011, 05:32 PM

I just want part 2, when ever it comes out.

RYJAPE21 · 02-21-2011, 05:40 PM

I also have the Alliance release of films 6-8 and have eagerly been anticipating 2-5. I would've sworn we had heard 4 and 5 were in the works a year or so ago but maybe that was just speculation/misinformation. I want the whole series dammit!!!

Guydowood · 02-21-2011, 06:04 PM

essentially I would love these via seamless branching.

Halloween: Theatrical & Television Cut
Halloween II: Theatrical & Television Cut
Halloween 666: Producer's Cut

or what would be cool, but most likely will never happen a
Halloween "The Night He Came Home" Edition that edits together I & II since it's all the same night anyway.......
