I don't disagree with you at all but Rob Zombies Halloween were the worse of all IMO next to Halloween 6 which had a chance to be something interesting with the direction Michael Myers story was going, as for H20 it was a decent return but Resurrection was a pile of garbage. But H20 and Resurrection are none existent now since the new Halloween movie resurrects Laurie Strode and now has a daughter instead of a son played by Josh Harnett.

Awe Man I had my hopes up this was Rob Zombies H2 in 4K

I can certainly understand why people do not like Zombie's Halloween, but I for one think it works. The first one that is, not the sequel. That's one of the very few Blu-rays I have only seen once since I bought it when it was released.

It dawned on me; is this and "American Psycho" the first non-DI, shot on film, 4Ks Lionsgate is releasing?

[Geoff D]

As far as I can tell, yep.

Rob Zombies Halloween II makes 0 sense it was mixed between that he is just a regular typical serial killer and Halloween 4-6 where the curse is passed on to the sister with Rob Zombies love of red necks. The first one was just ok and watchable what I hated that he had to make Michael Myers a 6-7 footer and how Dr. Loomis is a real ass in his version of Halloween.

I'm not saying all Rob Zombie movies are bad and there are ones I enjoyed which actually was hated by many.

9/25

so sounds like it will contain a Dolby ATMOS track

2 Discs


Language/Subtitles: English, English Subtitles, French, Spanish, Spanish Subtitles, English SDH

Audio: 2.0 DOLBY DIGITAL, 5.1 DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY ATMOS

[MeatballSub]

I must be in the minority. I loved both Zombie Halloweens, the Theatrical cuts that is, NOT the Director's cuts, which are both an abomination.

Rob Zombie is at his best when a studio comes in and reels in his work (ie. Devil's Rejects, Halloween 1/2). When he's given free reign, his worst instincts take over and a turd follows (ie. Hallween 1/2 directors cuts, Lords of Salem, and especially 31).

Audio: 2.0 DOLBY DIGITAL

Hope that's the mono not the downmix.

[PowellPressburger]

Mind of hoping the 5.1 and 2.0 would both be PCM Not compressed DD

[Markgway]

I'll take compressed DD mono over no mono any day.

[ROSS.T.G.]

I would like audio options.

Solid announcement!!! Will definitely be picking this up. As for the Halloween series discussion, I'm the rare individual who actually enjoys every single one (to varying degrees).

[TsMkLg068426]

Dolby Atmos? WTF? Do they actually have the original audio and soundtrack to up the audio quality at all? Wasn't it Dolby Stereo only in 1978.

I enjoy all except Resurrection. It’s my favorite horror franchise.

A lenticular slipcover like the old DVD (or was it vhs?) Would be awesome

It's already been remixed into multi-channel audio by adding lots of new and different sound effects, the Atmos outrage is about 15 years too late because the remixing ship sailed a long time ago. As long as they put the proper original mono on there, even in 192 kb/s DD mono, then they can do whatever the heck they like with the main discrete audio mix.

[PowellPressburger]

I would bet Atmos Object based audio would be used for the thunderstorm / Myers on top of car sequence.

And new 4K Scan
