Hey,

Just ordered this for $10.99 from JRMusic via a link in the hot deals forum.

Last time I saw it was on VHS. (Never saw that film in the theater.) I think I'll be glad to have it.

Wait... are we talking about the masterpiece from John Carpenter or the crap-fest from Rob Zombie?

Only the original is available on Blu-ray right now, so that's the topic of this discussion here.

It looks great! The only real negative about it is that it doesn't include as much of the blue-tint of the original so while the picture is amazingly clear and detailed, it looks more like nice weather (during the spring or summer -- which it really was when they filmed) rather than colder, dreary Oct. Some didn't like that but the picture was much more detailed and clear because of that. Anyway, I thought it looked fantastic and it's hard to believe it's an older movie.

Halloween pq was astonishing.. maybe you need to shut the hell up rofl.

What?! Halloween looked great. Looks pretty much like a movie that was released recently rather than 1978.

Hey,

My guess (having not seen it yet) is that the Blu Ray represents the best presentation of the film on home video to date. Even the "bad" Blu Rays usually represent the best version of the film available on Home Video in my experience.

Since it's on sale currently for $10.99 on Blu Ray,.. I would suggest anyone with interest in the film should be picking it up.

dlshelt,

Just curious,.. you say you're a Halloween fan. Which version of this film do you recommend? I've seen it only on VHS but I'm curious about your favorite way to watch it.

-Brian

[dlshelt]

With that said,i agree

[dlshelt]

Dont get me wrong,it looks better on blu than in any other format,but in comparison to other blu movies,my opinion it sucked h20 is one of my favorites but its not on blu

For it to be the original "Halloween", it thought it looked awesome! I originally hesitated to purchase after some of the reviews, but thanks to some of our members I decided to buy it thinking that it would be okay, so I get home and start watching it and this transfer is "significantly" better than any other transfer out there. I saw detail that I never saw on VHS or DVD. I felt like I was watching it for the 1st time and I've watched this movie alot since 1984.

Sorry but I thought the PQ was very good id give it a 4 out 5. Lets not forget the movie is 20+ years old

I actually rented the standard version to play in my PS3 as Block Buster did not get a Blu Ray copy....I didn't think it looked that bad maybe the Blu Ray Disc enhanced it too much.....I generally find Blu Ray Movies not all that overwhelming but in this standard DVD upscale I thought it was looking pretty good....weird...I think future BRD's will be better as the Film makers should adapt to the new HD era
