It actually matched the other steelbooks they've been doing quite nice.

Wish they’d make the first Halloween to match with these.

That would be cool, but I guess the rights expired with the complete series set.

^^^ Shout never really owned the rights if I recall. It was a colab and Shout mainly handled the special features. Although I agree having a matching one for the first film would have been neat.

[Keegsta]

New 4K scan! I happen to like the art but I care MUCH more about the new scan.

[BizCat]

Yeah, too bad they can't do the whole series...

The steelbook artwork for Halloween 3 gives the false impression that Michael Myers is in the film, people who haven’t seen it might think he’s in the movie based on this artwork.

This is great art that's direct from the movie and matches other releases in the series; this "I want to be first to trash the artwork" race is getting tiresome.

Must own for me!

I love this movie, and I will 100% pick this up. For some reason, the name on the spine seems way too big to me, but that is just nitpicky.

[SleazyForWeasley]

Agree, and also being nitpicky. It could be a mock up for the press release. Hopefully it's scaled down for the actual release.

[ConDers]

Not a big fan of these movies but this Shout factory line is becoming one of my favorites. I will have them all!

Why is that?? Unless I am missing something the only thing I see is his mask in a bin with other Halloween masks which I do not see as an issue.

It’s his mask in the artwork. The film is about Silver Shamrock masks in which Michael’s mask isn’t one of them. If I never heard of the plot for Halloween 3 and pick up the steelbook I could assume Michael might be in it because his mask is shown on the cover. I would say the same holds true for the overseas blu-ray of Friday the 13th blu ray artwork that shows Jason’s mask on the cover giving the impression Jason is the killer in the film.

[GreatGreg]

Don't like this artwork or any of the other Shout artwork for that matter.

I still prefer original poster art on my movies, but if this is all we get, so be it.

I'm not prejudiced, but the poster art is simply better.

I see your point, I guess I just don't look into things that much. It doesn't bother me since it is not prominent in the artwork.

I would like to point out that in Halloween 3 people are watching Halloween on their TV’s. Playing Carpenter’s original theme and everything.

[Zillamon51]

What disc art does SF use in their Steels? Does it match the case? I would hope for original poster art, so these can be swapped into the Complete Collection box set, and match.

Oh well, I may have to quintuple(?)-dip anyway. (I've owned these films on every major format since VHS, sometimes more than once, so why stop now?)

I don't like a lot of Pop Art (some Sony Steels look like school student drawings), but I think these are very nice!

It's an Easter egg, that on the final product, will be partially obscured by the spine, and only really be visible in the very bottom-right corner of the back cover. Find something else to b!tch about.
