I think the filming and locations were perfect in bright, sunny & colorful Pasadena spring. It gave the vibes of a super safe upper-middleclass small town. The small location at nighttime in residential Hollywood was great too. As a kid I never realized how the brown leaves tossed about or blaring sun was out of place as I was a local resident and it was a somewhat fairly faithful depiction of fall in So Cal which was all I knew. I enjoy the 4K scan but not the version, it was perfect before as a lower budget hit with the camera film exposed to great Southern California spring sunlight and I’ll stand by it as a purist until a pure release comes out again. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still wonderful with it’s 140k budget, and I hope one day the artists behind Halloween one day will appreciate that the current value of the film isn’t based upon making their film look more like Illinois in the fall as a retrospective , but more like accurately representing the original spring Pasadena California filming with the dead leaves that we all grew up to know and love as the iconic film “Halloween”.
It doesn’t need change for the modern generation, keep it original and let the fun trivia fill them in instead if they notice the color of trees or natural brightness of the California sun that allowed this film to be created as wonderfully as it is and was is in the first place.

I was in the middle of peeling off that sticker (out of habit) when I realized the Halloween 40 logo is actually pretty cool and I’d like to keep it on. Too late now as the edge I started peeling from looks all wrinkled when I tried to reapply it.

Slipcover woes.

Edit: technical difficulties.

This film only looks decent on Technicolor Expert set at 100 (MAX) color on my 2017 LG E7 OLED.

[Q-Tip]

I just got a reply back about my email asking about the absence of the original mono. I doubt the reply means they are for real fixing the mono but the email stated:

I assume this is just a standard reply to replace a bad copy or something?

He's complained about that before IIRC.

Peel it off. Never understood why people don't peel stickers off their slips.

I like the sticker, though!

Later you may feel differently and once that sticker has been on long enough it will be much harder to remove without damage.

I hate stickers.

With all the debate about color timing, I don't think there's ever gonna be a consensus on this one. My personal opinion is that it looks absolutely amazing.
