Halloween 4K UHD (1978)

[KubrickKurasawa]

So if the Lionsgate is from the IP and this Scream is from the Negative and there is no BS involved, and it has the correct Mono I might actually double dip? Not including DVD dip. Gotta toss that Lionsgate 4K disc for 5.00 now

It feel like big studios are putting less and less effort into special features these days. The most you'll get is some small featurettes and interviews and maybe an audio commentary. The only big modern franchise that is still getting lots of extras seems to be Star Wars.

HR is only for completionists (as I can't imagine anyone actually genuinely liking that film....though I know they're out there) but there's plenty of RZ fans and plenty of RZH/2 fans.

As for me, I just need H6, and probably H20 as well. (But mainly H6)

I'm bummed all to hell this first batch didn't include H6. I could have had everything I REALLY wanted in one go. Now I have to wait. Oh well.

Speaking of H6, I hope BOTH cuts of the movie get the 4k upgrade and not just the P-Cut. I want the T-Cut in 4k as well. Upgraded from the original negative, it could look pretty great.

Lol, looks like only Shout is still charging full price. Kind of ironic.

Special Features today are a literal slipcase and a replica disc of the last time you purchased this movie on a 1080p disc LOL. This is what it has come too. And the only reason they do different artwork is because they can't get the original because it costs to much. And people ON THIS SITE ask me why I buy 4K Digital streams on Vudu. Go figure... I think we have to buy this disc because it won't be on a digital streaming site and it might actually be far better than the stream for once.

[KubrickKurasawa]

Hey though, in all seriousness what are the 3 Cuts of this anyway?

I noticed it says 1 BD-100 and 2 BD-50s? Any guesses as to what these discs will entail individually?

[phobicsquirrel]

Almost 30 bucks per film really makes that 15 disc from a few years ago seem cheap! I'm hoping these are really good in the A/V but pricey AF.

Several of us.

I honestly thought the sets would sell out really fast, so I immediately went for the 4K+vinyl+poster set. Seeing the prices drop on Amazon, and the current availability, has me rethinking it and just getting them as individual pieces. Event at $27.99 a piece, that's still <$100 of what my pre-order was.

I genuinely like Resurrection as a parody and consider RZH2 a masterpiece.

Cliff even said Second Sight did an amazing release. So there really is no point in doing Dawn now, even if they were allowed to do it. He basically said it's inpossible to improve upon it. And he also feared that many US collector's already imported the Second Sight release. Still, I'd buy Dawn from Shout just because they probably come im with some cool new extras and because it is Dawn of the Dead! Can't wait to expand my shrine with new and old releases of my 2nd favorite movie of all time.

They might just release 6-8. I don’t think too many people are demanding UHDs of the Rob Zombie Halloween films.

They are among my favorites.

I’d buy them!

[bookcase]

I'd buy 6 and H20, forget that 8 and the RZ films exist, and finish it off with the latest three.

[oceanicflight_815]

If they do all 10 I would buy them just to have all 10 swapped out in the complete collection box. The worst thing is a few months ago I upgraded the crappy eco cases in the complete set for new sturdy viva elite black cases from Severin. Oh well.

I’ve really minimized my physical collecting. I’m right there with the other user on here who said they would upgrade to 4K on VUDU lol. That’s where I’m at too. I just don’t trust that they will have these new 4K transfers on digital anytime soon. Certainly not with the same audio options either. Halloween on digital is still that same crap 2007 transfer.
