$40?

Seriously?

Even though it’ll come down some, it’ll probably be at least $30 on release day.

…no thanks.

Canadian dollars. Equals about USD 32, and as you say it is the SRP.

I saw the post for this along with Halloween 1-3 coming to UHD. Is Halloween 5 coming as well?

No sign of Halloween 5 yet, but if Shout has license for that title also I guess it will show up soon.

Revenge, like the original and Return, are actually owned by Trancas, so I'd be surprised if it's not happening as well.

My hunch is that 1-5 are happening this year, and the remaining five - if they happen - will be out next year to tie in with Ends. (Or Scream Factory could totally shock us all and get the entire series out in 4K in one go.)

I'm sure we'll get new special features since it's Scream putting this out, but I'm really, REALLY hoping they bring over the commentary with Alan B McElroy and Anthony Masi from the 2003 DVD. It was left off the prior Blu-Ray release, which was a shame since it was a really nice commentary track. The German/Austrian Blu-Rays retained it, at least.

Never mind!

Shut up!!!!

This film badly needed a new transfer so this is good news, and it’s also great that Scream’s documentary should finally be available outside the 15 disc boxset. If Scream makes a deal with Paramount/Miramax for their three films, they could potentially reissue their Halloween boxset in 4K with the new transfers. I’d double dip.

Please have the original stereo track.

And please remove the two frame-skipping glitches.

I wouldn't worry, this has to be a brand new scan.

Is it possible this is the uncut version?

I don’t think anything has ever been cut from this movie, unless you mean the German version which cut out some gore. Just looked it up on IMDb and it says: “The scene in which Michael kills the mechanic was originally on-screen. The footage showed Michael stabbing the mechanic in the throat with the crowbar.”

I’ve never heard this before. Is this what you’re referring to?

MassiveMovieBuff · 07-02-2021, 10:40 AM

I could be misremembering this but I thought I recalled on one of the documentaries that the police station massacre was originally filmed only to be cut out of the final film.

Yes I believe so, they apparently found some of the filmed scenes but were left out, I will look for the article, but there were several things cut out.

And the correct color grading.

So long as they release a playable version of this film I will be satisfied. I have had two Blu-ray versions of Halloween 4, both are unplayable. Both have audio/video sync issues starting around the point when Michael breaks into the house. One disc usually stops completely by the time you get to the school.
