    What's this?


    Halloween night - Haddonfield, IL. A young boy butchers his older sister with a kitchen knife. 15 years later, he escapes from a mental institution only to return home and terrorize the town, including babysitter Laurie Strode. Now pursued by Dr. Loomis, the doctor who tried to treat him until he realized that “what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil”. His name is Michael Myers. And so began one of the most iconic horror franchises in history - what producers Moustapha Akkad and Debra Hill, writer/director John Carpenter and stars Jamie Lee Curtis & Donald Pleasence started has spawned 10 feature films and lasted over 35 years.

    The ONLY bit of the set that interests me....

    Surely anyone who wants to see the producers cut of part 6 will already have a (not legit) copy of it....

    Also, it lists ROB ZOMBIE as diector..Does Anchor Bay have the rights for his two movies in the series.....

    Actually, dont think his two movies should be in this set at all.....:down:

      Producers Cut of 6 is interesting but it's still not a very good film. This guy does a good job dissecting the two cuts.

      Overall I agree with him. It's nice to see more Donald Pleasance and the Producer's Cut makes a little more sense than the theatrical but it's just not satisfying and takes away a lot of the fear Myers had. At least the Theatrical cut had the gore. At the very least it had that.

            I think amazon jumped the gun and put the pre-order up before it was officially announced (they did this a couple of months ago with some Criterion titles) Anchor Bay will probably make the official announcement on Monday.

Yet to date, the complete saga of Michael Myers could only be told in pieces, in individual DVD and Blu-ray™ releases, with the rights spread across multiple home entertainment studios.

As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath's actions.

                Well I'm disappointed, was hoping for a Phantasm set. Im satisfied with the Halloween releases I have on blu-ray and wont be double-dipping.

                  I'm a little pissed off that they're adding the mono track in for the original movie -- but I'm sure it'll become available individually next year. And the regular edition is strictly the theatrical versions? So if I want the producer's cut of part 6 (which is still a shitty movie no matter how you slice it), I have to spring for the LE set? Fucking hell.

                  Man, they sure know how to milk these movies, don't they?

                    I never bothered to pick up any of the Halloween films on Blu-Ray so this could be a nice option for me. Though if I were a big fan of the series I'd probably just be royally pissed off. For some people this would be the third time they've bought Halloween II on the format. And why include both of the prior Halloween releases in this set?

                      I only like the 6th film so I hope they release it separately.

                              Yep! I've always loved it. I was looking for the Blu-Ray on Amazon uk but it's only available in a sucky double feature release. Other than that there are only used copies available. I don't do used anything.
