It's enormously pretty, but I've always preferred Peak's poster. Humphrey's artwork for The Evil Dead (both original and 90s re-release) is glorious, though.

Has anybody posted the artwork for Halloween II and III yet?

In their own threads yes

In their respective 4K threads, their 2018 steelbook threads, and the Scream Factory thread.

I'd post the rest, but cba.

Elite's laserdisc has fantastic artwork that, in my opnion, is the original poster's only equal. (or close to it!)
I'd absolutely love this on a slip or foldout.

I intend to burn them and mail the charred remains back to Scream Factory

In the envelope they send the replacement disc in from the inevitable disc replacement

That film is really spoiled for great artwork, or at least it was once upon a time. How the mighty have fallen:

Worst. Art. Ever.

I'll definitely be putting the new Halloween disc inside the existing 4K UHD case, with the original poster art -- which was already perfect and elegant. I regularly put my 4K discs onto my shelf in black UHD cases co-opting art from older releases anyway: my Apocalypse Now uses the old Blu-ray (original poster) art, and I even adapted the olde timey DVD art (again, reflecting original posters) for my 4K discs of Alien, Back to the Future, and Wrath of Khan. At least with Halloween, it already says "4K UHD" on it... so that's a no brainer.

LOVE the scene when Freddy scratched a marble white wall that says "A Wes Craven Film: A Nightmare on Elm Street!" Talk about meta fourth wall breaking! REALLY SCARY!!

not a fan of the series so i probably wouldnt have bought the 4ks anyway, but wow the new artwork is really bad.

I am so making this my remux thumbnail.



Still need to get the better Blu-ray, though. Edit: Actually, maybe I already have the best one, the Warner Bros. VC-1. The Alliance Films looks kind of soft.

Edit: Oh hell, I'm gonna break uniformity and go with that vertical one. The art makes more sense that way.

Thanks! I opened the link for Halloween II and thought it was the Halloween cover. Then when I realized that Michael Myers was standing in front of the hospital, I bursted out laughing! They should have just had the cover be Loomis doing his infamous face palm.

I personally love when a shot from the film is used as cover art.

For everyone who dislike the Halloween 1-5 UHD artwork, what did you think of Halloween 2 and 3 BD 2012 release artwork?

Typical Scream Factory garbage, marginally better than this new UHD art. All of their newly commissioned art reminds me of cheesy Hot Topic horror movie T-shirts or comic books.

2012 artwork was much better. Not a huge fan of the new art but its much better than the photoshopped garbage the big studios come up with for their releases.
