BAM -- just ordered Halloween II for an in-store pickup at Burbank. Already got Halloween yesterday. So excited; these are the only two I'm getting of this new crop.

It's definitely not one of those "I haven't seen this movie since the premiere" tracks where they sit there just reacting like they have never seen it before. That lady knows her Halloween.

It's a fun commentary but I found it funny how scared she kept stating about scenes. I seem to recall Carpenter telling her something like knock it off or get outa here kind of response haha

Finally going to post. Currently on pre-order from Amazon. This may be the best looking release ever. Straight from the original camera negative? Damn!

One thing I'm looking forward to is one of the blu-ray which features

"DISC THREE (Blu-ray):Original Color Timing Presentation"

Can't wait!

Oh, the only other one I would want from this series is Season of the Witch.

Do you not look at peoples' answers to your questions?

And like people have said multiple times...no. It's not.

Much like how the Friday the 13th Part 2 back cover doesn’t have the found gore footage as that was a late addition after set was already produced.

This is pretty common with Shout. I imagine they have to have all the artwork approved and printed well in advance of sales and final announcements and this is why it keeps happening.

Don’t get too excited. That was Shout’s fancy way of saying here’s the 2007 Blu-ray transfer; the one nobody likes

Every time I revisit this interview, my health bar increases.

So what's the disc menu like?

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

Yes. With an Atmos mix, there is no “fold down.” Everything is present in the 7.1 True HD track. The metadata for Atmos consists of isolated sound objects which are mathematically subtracted from the 7.1 mix by the renderer and placed as needed within the sound field.

thank you!

I preferred the 2007 transfer to the 2013 disc, which was just too desaturated in the daytime scenes.

[Spooked]

I'm almost afraid to even try and watch this film any more. I get so confused about which release to put in that I just end up watching something completely different*. Sheesh.

* Or I just jump to III. You can never go wrong with III.

Between that and the guy being completely unable to comprehend that Haddonfield IL wasn’t a real place, what a ****ing moron lol. This interview was a disaster

A guy makes a joke about burning slip covers in a thread with some collectors who value them.... and that's considered abuse?

Awhile back, I posted a picture of me using my SEASON OF THE WITCH disc from my boxset as a coaster for my beer... IS THAT WHY I GOT BANNED FOR A WEEK??

The ban notice doesn't say what post was the offender and, at the time, I never bothered to look into it as I was somehow able to live with the shame of being banned from an online forum... but is that all it takes?

I've never seen it. Only screenshots of what the 2007 disc looks like. I remember the review on here raved about it. Being full of vibrant colors and lush saturation with its "fall filter".

Then the 2013 transfer was praised for being drab, dreary, and near monochromatic with the desaturated look. Now, from what I read in this thread, Shout's remaster looks about the same as 2007's with bright colors and all just a tad notch below on saturating colors.

That should tell you that nobody really knows what they want.

I think they were being cheeky with sarcasm.
