Halloween: The Complete Collection (Eight Disc Box Set) [DVD]

Product Information

The disc also includes the featurette Halloween: A Cut Above the Rest and a Film Fast Facts pop-up trivia feature, as well as the same trailer, TV and radio spots from the first disc. If you want to know my thoughts on the individual movies themselves (and of course you do), there are links to the specific reviews at the bottom of the page. Laurie Strode, now the dean of a Northern California private school with an assumed name, must battle the Shape one last time, as the life of her own son hangs in the balance. The newly produced bonus material is top-notch, as good as we’ve come to expect from Scream Factory’s Collector’s Editions. Laurie Strode confronts her long-time foe, Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.

Michael has had a long but checkered career in movies that vary wildly in quality, even by horror franchise standards. And considering the Mulligan Stew of studios and rights-holders involved in the franchise, the idea of ever seeing a complete, definitive Halloween collection seemed remote. The Deluxe Edition box is beautifully designed with stunning new art by Paul Shipper and an extensive booklet written by Michael Gingold. The disc still includes two audio commentaries (one with Harris and Ellie Cornell, the other with director Dwight H.The poor guy even suffered the indignity of being forced to sit out one of his own sequels ( Halloween III). Halloween: Resurrection includes all of the extras from the previous Echo Bridge release, including commentary, alternate endings and deleted scenes, and featurettes. In each case, the new documentary is considerably more engaging, thorough and candid than the original. The pattern repeats for Halloween 5 with the 2000 featurette Inside Halloween 5 supplemented with the brand new Dead Man’s Party: The Making of Halloween 5. Everything else is the same as the 35thAnniversary disc, including the Cundey-approved transfer, commentary by John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis, The Night She Came Home featurette, On Location: 25 Years Later featurette, TV version footage, trailer, TV and radio spots.

There’s also a new commentary by director of photography Dean Cundey, editor Tommy Lee Wallace and The Shape himself, Nick Castle. This set may well be too much Myers for some but the hardcore, serious Halloween fan shouldn’t have any qualms about picking up the Deluxe Edition. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers receives one of the biggest upgrades of the set, with the eagerly awaited first official release of the Producer’s Cut. At first glance, John Carpenter’s Halloween appears to be identical to last year’s 35th Anniversary Edition. Loomis hunts for Michael Myers, a traumatized Laurie is rushed to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, and The Shape is not far behind her.Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II appear to be the same as the previous Blu-ray releases from Dimension, including the mammoth, 4½ hour (?

The brief featurette Halloween 4: Final Cut from the 2001 DVD is here, bolstered by a brand new doc, Back to Basics: The Making of Halloween 4. Finally, the set includes 5 episodes of Sean Clark’s Horror’s Hallowed Grounds covering Halloween 4, 5 and 6, the Bus Tour episode with Clark acting as tour guide for a group of fans, and the original 2005 pilot episode focusing on Carpenter’s Halloween.The vintage-y featurette Halloween Unmasked 2000, originally produced for DVD back in 1999, is included here. Halloween 5 appears to be the same as Anchor Bay’s previous Blu-ray, with two commentaries (actor Don Shanks and Beahm on one, director Dominique Othenin-Girard with actors Danielle Harris and Jeffrey Landman on the other), an On the Set featurette, original promo reel and trailer. Finally, the Deluxe Edition set includes a bonus disc with a mix of old and new bonus material, beginning with an HD presentation of the Extended Version of Carpenter’s Halloween (well, mostly HD… the TV inserts are understandably in standard def). Both Halloween II and Halloween III: Season of the Witch are identical to the previous Scream Factory releases. Each movie comes in its own individual black Blu-ray case (the black is an especially nice touch) with the original theatrical poster artwork.
