If I wanted to film a movie to REALLY look like fall, I'd wait until November.

Omg I agree with you those falling leaves are godawful it’s too much sometimes less is more just because it’s easy to add lots of them in doesn’t mean you should

Its funny how the leaves are constantly falling across as if it was windy but the trees are clearly still, with no signs of heavy wind.

Plus, you never see any leaves actually landing on the ground.

Plus, autumn just doesn't look like that. Not even in Hollywood and Pasadena.

The scenes of Laurie walking to the Myers House in the morning are the ones that come closest to what it should look like. Kinda miserable. After that, who really cares? The bulk of the movie takes place at night when you can't tell what season it is.

There is a Collector's Edition coming on September 28. The UPC number below is the Canadian one.

Darn. I was hoping Dean Cundy’s Instagram post was referring to Halloween II (and maybe 3). But looks like I’ll be dropping some cash on the original again lol.

Yeah, I wonder what color palette he'll choose for this go-'round?

And I've just got one other thing to say:
original mono
original mono
original mono

Actually very excited about the possibilities of getting better "day exterior" color AND original mono on this UHD.

Yes please.

If it’s coming from Shout! I’m guessing the chance of the original mono being including is all but guaranteed...?

They're pushing the boat out for the 43rd Anniversary. (Nothing to do with Halloween Kills release. Behave.)

They'll try, at least.

I wonder if this means anything for 4 & 5, considering they're technically also with Lionsgate (I think, anyway).

Day one if it has the mono track.

The last release wasn't that great.

No mono
Aspect ratio glitch
Controversial color timing
No new extras

The clue is in the question.

A new Halloween movie in the theaters is a reasonable excuse for it too.

Didn't hear about this. What was the glitch?

I'll be the Debbie Downer and say Shout will only add to the problems by encoding the movie in the wrong colour space. Then add terrible new artwork and a handful of new Zoom interviews ('Sandwich Time!: An interview with John Smith, head of craft services on Halloween') then call it a day

I'll live with that if it has the mono.

It goes from 2.35:1 to 2.40:1 at the 40 minute mark.

I love the interview, can't remember where I saw it, where Kyle Richards (Lindsey) is gushing about how well she remembers all the time spent working on the movie, and Brian Andrews (Tommy) is like "Really? You were on the set for half a night. I was on it for two days and I don't remember much." (paraphrased).

Maybe the new UHD release will include a commentary by Tony Moran...
