[Show spoiler]Maybe I just remembered it wrong or a hybrid version does exist somewhere.

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.

Yes it does.

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.

[Michael24]

Ah. I suppose it's possible there is one. I've never seen any fan edits myself, so I was only thinking of the official versions.

It was definitely a version I watched on UPN or when CW used to be called the WB Network back in the day.

I've seen that TV version of the film before. It was the first time I actually saw some of the deleted footage, so it caught my attention right away.

What's the significance of including the 2007 version of the '78 original in the 15 disc box, please ?

It has unique extras (Criterion commentary, feature length documentary, trivia track, probably more) and I suppose there's also the thought that some prefer that transfer (surely not me!)

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.

It's not the same two discs from the boxset. Scream's extras are Scream's extras. Lionsgate may be on the back of the art in the boxset but Lionsgate and Miramax didn't pay for those new extras. And with the low retail price, it is also doubtful that Lionsgate even bothered to license them from Scream.

You tell 'em steve dave!
You are correct, I saw this yesterday in a Wal-Mart $7.88 bin and it was single disc bare bones.
