Not in this thread. Just 400 pages about mono audio.

Y'know, Annie, some day you're going to get us all in deep trouble.

Mono? Oh, come on. What is this, the '70s?

If you're actually serious, lol, then jump back to p.373 of this thread and start with the review linked in post #7452. Then read forward from there and you'll see a lot of info from people like me who managed to pick it up on the 28th.

Everything afterwards is drivel. I have never had much interest in owning the sequels outside the original.

I'm with you on this. I was a fan of the general franchise in my younger years (elementary to middle school), but after a rewatch of the entire series sometime in high school, I changed my mind. I prefer Halloween '78 as a stand alone, but have come to accept I-III as a "John Carpenter presents Halloween" trilogy in my own head. Itching for my pre-orders to come in of those three.

For those of you that have some flickering, does it happen often or just a few times? My LG UBK90 is pretty bad with this problem. Made THE FOG on 4K a disappointing experience.

Thanks! Went back about 10 pages but the only comment on the video I saw was "looks great". Nor did I see screenshots at the usual places. Haven't been following all of these threads that carefully.

Order direct, pay $10 more per title, miss the street date, but we get some posters

Did you receive an e-mail from them saying they shipped?

I recommend the "mime" track. It's complete silence, but lossless and non-filtered.

I only watch Halloween with my Myers mask on. Everything is muffled and I mostly just hear my own loud breathing.

I applaud you. I, too, dress up like one of the characters when I watch Halloween. This year, it's Nurse Marion.

Why should Rocky Horror have all the fun?

Pics or it didn't...

...er, nevermind, I have no doubt that it did happen.
