Make sure you sell your old (even if it's the 35th Anniversary) version of 1, since the version in the set has the proper mono.

Yeah, excited for the mono and the doc on the older disc too. I kind of want 4 and H20, so the set makes more and more sense at $80. I assume I can sell 1, 2 and 3 for a decent amount and avoid my wife's steely gaze about the difference.

One more thing you might miss - there's a special features disc in the set that they inexplicably put in the same case as Rob Zombie's Halloween II. It has several Horror's Hallowed Grounds episodes plus a bunch of other stuff. It's easily overlooked by those who don't like the RZ films and it's a great disc if you like extras.

I'm in one of those, so there's a whole other reason to get this set

Is the theatrical cut included on this release? Not that I care but some people seem to suggest both versions are on the disc. I thought it was just
the P cut and a digital copy? I have the P cut from the AWESOME box set and I think the picture quality is excellent!

If the Lionsgate release is even slightly better than Scream's I'll gladly double dip.

Aside from the theatrical and Producer's Cut, the only other cut I know of is an older TV version that incorporated some deleted scenes to pad out the running time, but otherwise was still the same as the theatrical cut. It originally premiered on UPN back in the late-90s, but I haven't seen that particular version in a long time now. When I see it on TV nowadays, it's just the regular theatrical version, edited for language and violence as usual.

I think he may be referring to a "fan edit" of both the theatrical and Producer's Cut.

There's several cuts.
-The theatrical cut.
-The director's cut, which comes from the theatrical cut but has some extra gore (like when The Shape slams that guy's head into the bars near the end, he actually pushes his head through the bars and it splits into pieces), and a couple of extra scenes (the new sheriff talking to Loomis for one).
-The producer's cut.
-The workprint, which is essentially the producer's cut with the timecode at the bottom and with music from the original Halloween used in place of Alan Howarth's music, which was yet to be incorporated in the film.
-The television cut, which is the theatrical cut with some extra scenes from the producer's cut like the extra campus scenes with Kara Strode and the extended conversation with Loomis and Wynn at Loomis' house near the beginning of the film. It's the closest to being the perfect cut of the film in my opinion. It's what AMC used to show as well as the old superstations and networks like TBS, TNT, WSBK Boston, WNAC Providence, WGN, etc.

Maybe the set could just "appear" one day on the shelf. When she notices it, Just say "Oh yeah. You remember when I got that, don't you?"

I debated about the set myself. But I'm happy I got it. I even picked up the Zombie theatricals just to put a cherry on top. I'm done with buying the Halloween films. DONE.

I pre-ordered it. I have never liked 6, and I'm even a big fan of 5. I know this release might not change that fact, but I've always wanted to see it and never wanted to pay $100+ for that probably awesome boxset.

After finally getting to properly watch the Pcut, I much prefer the theatrical over this cut because the ending is much better imo. There are some great added character scenes in the Pcut though. 6 is actually my favorite sequel of the franchise, and a hybrid of the 2 cuts makes it even better.

I agree. It has it's moments. I watched the Pcut for the first time ever last year and got wrapped up in the excitement of the fact that I was watching something I'd only ever heard about. And it mostly felt like a whole new movie. After the viewing I was torn. I watched it again about 2 weeks ago and honestly, I was pretty bored. And that ending... Oh boy.

[Show spoiler]

Then there's the fact that Curse was the 1st Halloween movie I ever got to see in the theater and I absolutely loved it. I was 17 and thought it was great. So the Pcut already had that working against it where I'm concerned. I'm glad to have the Pcut and I'm so glad it's getting a standalone release. But in terms of which one I think is better... There's not really any comparison. I'll take the Tcut. There are elements I really love about the Pcut. But as a whole it's just too slow with zero payoff.
