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]"The power of the runes stopped him."

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.

I'm digging this $7.99 price. Just am anxious to see why there is two discs.

As expected. Probably bare bones too.

Until someone posts a photo or details I don't believe anyone that claims to have this already. You can take the time to come here and say you've got it but not the extra 30 seconds to list what's included. I smell troll or BS.. either way it doesn't smell good.

(That's not to say that this won't be a single disc bare bones release, but until someone posts proof I don't believe it.)

Just to prove my point...

I got this today and it is indeed a 2 disc set. Can't post details at this time.

I prefer that since the runes angle ties into the film's mystical overtones better. Plus, I always thought Michael getting pumped full of . . . whatever that green stuff was and beaten with a pipe felt like a lazy retread of the previous film's ending, where Loomis shoots him with tranquilizers and beats him unconscious with a 2x4.

Yeah... That's another gem! All the while Michael just stands there.

Don't get me wrong... Both endings feel kinda like a give up. But for me, the Pcut just slams on it's brakes and dies with the delivery of Paul Rudd's line about the runes. And to be perfectly honest, I never thought about Curse ending just like 5. Very true.
