*******s

If it's more than two seconds old, I shouldn't have to spoiler tag it.

The worst spoiler posted (Deliberately) was on the release day of Scream 4 someone posted on IMDB message board under topic heading the killers’ names.

I hope they include the correct mono and perhaps that TV cut as well.

Me: so much activity in the Halloween thread, let’s see what people are saying about my favourite horror film!

Me when I actually enter the thread:

Nice tits, though.

I remember that I was p*ssed.

That was your first and last mistake, Mr. Bond.

Even if the Dean Cundey Instagram photo tease ends up being a bonus disc interview, I would guess that they can make some minor adjustments to the 4K UHD release from 2018.

Is there really any room for improvement regarding the 2018 4K UHD release? Audio wise, I know the original mono is a big desire for fans. But, picture wise, is there really any way the picture quality can improve from the 2018 release or is that the best PQ we're ever going to get for this film?

It's kind of dark.

A consistent aspect ratio would be nice.

Why do films that have Dean Cundey as cinematographer have such inconsistent colour timing between releases? Even releases approved by him can look wildly different.

Maybe he hangs out with George Lucas a little too much.

I can't comment about other films he's worked on, but as far as Halloween goes the criticisms are overblown and frankly inaccurate IMO. The two releases he's worked on, the 35th BD and the UHD, are very consistent overall. Sure the UHD has much more refined color (as it obviously should) but in general the two have far more in common than not. I don't see anything wildly different here. The UHD is just a better version of the same basic look. To get a 100% identical match would essentially mean throwing the HDR/WCG advantages out the window and why would anyone want that?

[Martoto]

As long as whatever updated scanning and processing technology they use to create a new master can anticipate each individual fan's preferred "correct" color timing then we should all be happy when this comes out. Again.
