I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Halloween fanatic, and I have every version of the flick released in the US, from the VHS days to now. With the exception of the early Anchor Bay DVD's, all of the transfers look different. Some are too dark, some are too blue, others suffer from contrast issues. To me, the BD looks superb. It's sharp, vivid, and the level of detail is fantastic. I think if Carpenter were to oversee his own transfer, especially given the technology afforded him today, we'd probably see a whole bunch of changes to suit his vision that purists would decry as much as they have Cundey's transfer. When compared to the BD transfers of flicks like The French Connection and Dracula, the differences here are so minimal that I've never understood what the fuss was about. I've even gone back to the earlier AB DVD's and, while the image is noticeably lighter and more "natural" in spots (ie; less blue?), overall, the new transfer is a massive improvement in this fan's eyes.
