Halloween 4 & 5 - No schedule to release at this time - Blu-ray Forum

Vorhees13 · 02-10-2010, 08:35 PM

Emailed Anchor Bay and here was their response.

"At this time we do not have anything on the schedule for Blu-ray releases on these titles but I’ll be sure to add it to our list."

FendersRule · 02-10-2010, 09:47 PM

How about you email whoever is in-charge of the F13 movies, and get to release part 4!!! After part 4, it gets kinda crappy with F13!

Halloween 4 and 5 is ....ugh......

Tell them to release Halloween 2 first off!

They're not going to let us know anything until they're ready.

I can't pretend to understand Anchor Bay's blu philosophy, but it would surprise me if H4 + 5 didn't see the light of day sooner rather than later. I would actually be a bit surprised if October came and went without them hitting blu.

That would just leave 2+3 as the blu gaps... and I suspect it'll take Universal a loooong time to get to those.

That would be Paramount's job.

I believe Disney controls most of the sequels.

They released 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 on DVD.

I'm not sure who owns 2.

i just want 6 that was my favorite..

Liquid_Swords · 02-11-2010, 05:42 AM

Hmm, I'd be first in line to pick up Halloween 4 and 5 on blu ray, even if they are hated on (well 5 at least

)

deadhatetheliving · 02-11-2010, 06:08 AM

I'd like to see Anchor Bay release Re-Animator and whatever Fulci and Argento films they own still released before H4 and H5.

To whoever whats to know about Children of the Corn 2. Couldn't find anyone who owns it so it might be open market on that one. Kind of like Night of the Living Dead.

The New Fury · 02-11-2010, 06:24 AM

I think Halloween 4 and 5 are two of the best sequels to come out of a horror franchise IMO. I loved the little Jamey running away from Michael thing. I love that she's on the rise to be the next scream queen

mayorofsmpleton · 02-11-2010, 02:35 PM

Disney may seem all family friendly but the umbrella corporation that handles the disney animated films also owns Touchstone pictures (pretty woman, etc) and a lot of the old Dimension films library (Scream, Children of the Corn 3-7, etc)

I believe Paramount released pt 2 on VHS in the 90s. Though the rights may have bounced to Artisan (then later to Lions Gate, etc.). Not sure about the current rights holders.

Give me Re-Animator, Opera, Deep Red and Suspiria but only after H4. Then again these films are so divided up amongst these studios its wonder if any of them still own this stuff. Fulci's films are a mixed bag. I wouldn't mind Zombie, The Beyond and Don't Torture A Duckling, but have been underwhelmed by most of everything else I've seen of his.

The titles in bold now belong to Blue Underground.

AB lost a lot of their horror catalog. They should have plenty of time/resources to release H4/H5 and Re-Animator.

I agree with Halloween 2 needing a proper special edition release on blu (and DVD too I guess). I'm surprised they haven't done this yet. Halloween 4 is great though. Part 5... not so much. But I actually like part 4 better than part 2.

As for Friday the 13th, I can't agree. Parts 6 and 7 are my favorites of the whole series (with parts 1 and 4 up there as well). They need to release them all!

Laurie Strode is ultimately what makes Halloween 2 feel inferior to H4. Too much of that movie was her drugged and dazed, stumbling around the hospital.

F13 Part 7 deserves the HD treatment if only to see the amazing makeup effects they'd done on Jason. That scene of him stepping out of the lake with this shirt torn and his spine and ribs showing through was creepy. It was also the best he's ever looked without his mask on. Also, like FVSJ, the opening revisits the kills from the earlier movies and gives you a sense of how good parts 4 thru 6 will look when they debut on blu.

FendersRule · 02-11-2010, 06:28 PM

I need to watch parts 4 and 5 again as it's been way too long. I can guaranee you that the consensus is that 2 is the best Halloween sequel, and from what I can remember, i'd have to agree with this.
