Halloween II (1981)

IMPRINT COLLECTION #476 – From the mind of John Carpenter, the sequel to cultural phenomenon Halloween is packed with thrills and gore galore.

Scanned in 4K from the original camera negative, experience every bloodcurdling scream in UHD with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. PLUS, the fan-favourite Television Cut has been upscaled to high-definition Blu-ray. Packed with extended and alternate scenes, the Television Cut is Halloween II through a uniquely different lens, and a must-watch in HD for Michael Myers completionists.

Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they thought had been left for dead in the first film. It seems the inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the Haddonfield hospital. As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath’s actions.

High Def Digest Reviews Scream Factory’s ‘The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002)’

High Def Digest Reviews Scream Factory’s ‘The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002)’

Ahead of its release later this week, High Def Digest has published their in-depth review for Scream Factory’s The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002) set, featuring comparison images between various releases and an overview of the set’s contents.

I’ve included some highlights below, but please make sure to read the entire review for any questions you may have!

As one of the longest-running horror franchises in cinema history, the Halloween films have run the map of sequels, remakes, and reboots. Scream Factory brings together The Halloween 4K Collection – 1995-2002, combining Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, the relaunch Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and its follow-up Halloween: Resurrection. Now in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, each of the films have been given new 4K scans from the original camera negatives and Dolby Vision HDR (with varying results), the same solid audio tracks, and plenty of new and archival bonus features to slice through. Die Hard Myers fans will want to pick this set up, but for the casual franchise fan it may be a tough sell.

Scream Factory continues their work started a year ago with The Halloween Collection (1995-2002). This is an eight-disc set, with two 4K discs and two Blu-ray discs covering both cuts of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. All of the individual slipcases are held together with a thin paper-stock box.

As we approach yet another entry in the long-running franchise with Halloween Ends on October 15th, Scream Factory gives the sixth, seventh, and eighth films another run. This set is a bit of a mishmash of films, each with its stalwart fans and detractors. And unlike Scream Factory’s last run of franchise releases, the only way you can get these three films on 4K is in this set, and that may well be a sticking point come purchase time for many out there.

Each film in the set was given new 4K scans with Dolby Vision HDR for the 4K discs. Generally, the improvements are appreciable but the color timing changes for The Curse of Michael Myers will no doubt be a conversation piece within the fan and collector communities. I personally don’t mind it, but it takes a little getting used to. As for H20 and Resurrection, the color changes are far less dramatic working better to accent the films visuals. And since those films had such shoddy releases previously, it’s easier to see and appreciate the numerous improvements.

Bonus features junkies also pick up an excellent new audio commentary for the theatrical cut of The Curse of Michael Myers with Resurrection scoring several new very good and informative cast and crew interviews. Even with the improvements mentioned, this set isn’t really for the casual Halloween fans but instead for the die-hard junkies like myself. Ultimately this one is Recommended… at least until the next set for Rob Zombie’s remakes and/or a massive mega franchise set with all of the films together – even if that seems unlikely.


‘The Halloween 4K Collection’ Coming from Scream Factory

‘The Halloween 4K Collection’ Coming from Scream Factory

After their success with the 4K editions of the first five films last October, Scream Factory is set to excite Halloween fans once again this fall! The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002) is set to be released on October 4, 2022, and features all new 4K editions of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Halloween Resurrection! Additionally, The Curse of Michael Myers will also feature the film’s producer’s cut in 4K!

Unlike last year’s roll-out, which featured the films being released individually, this year’s line-up seems to be only be available as part of the box set. My personal hunch is this could be a contractual obligation with Miramax or Paramount, but Scream has at least provided matching slipcases inside the box for the three films.

If you pre-order the release from Shout Factory’s website, you’ll get their exclusive posters of the new artwork that also match last year’s as well.

MICHAEL CONTINUES HIS ATTACK ON HADDONFIELD IN ULTRA-HIGH DEFINITION!

This box set comprises three terrifying films from one of the longest running horror series in cinema history. Michael Myers takes on Tommy Doyle and Dr. Loomis with help from a mysterious cult, comes face to face with Laurie Strode again and slashes his way through the cast of a reality TV show! This set includes all of the previously released extras plus some brand-new surprises …

HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1.85:1, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & Stereo, 88 min. (Theatrical Cut), 95 min. (Producer’s Cut)

FEATURING BOTH THE THEATRICAL CUT AND PRODUCER’S CUT IN 4K ULTRA HIGH DEFINITION

In a single horrifying night, Michael Myers’ reign of terror changed Halloween forever! Now, six years after he was presumed dead in a fire, Michael has returned to kill again – and this time there’s no escape! As his fury builds to a spine-tingling climax, the longhidden secrets of the screen’s most maniacal murderer are shockingly revealed. Donald Pleasence (Halloween), Paul Rudd (Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy, Ant-Man), Marianne Hagan (Stake Land) and Mitchell Ryan (Lethal Weapon) star.

HALLOWEEN H20: TWENTY YEARS LATER (2.35:1, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & Stereo, 86 min.)

Now the headmistress of a private school, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is still struggling with the horrifying, 20-year-old memories of the maniacal killer Michael Myers when he suddenly appears again with a vengeance! And this Halloween, Laurie’s rebellious son (Josh Hartnett, 30 Days Of Night), his girlfriend (Michelle Williams, Venom), and their friends will become Michael’s newest victims unless Laurie can conquer her fears and put evil in its place once and for all. LL Cool J (NCIS: Los Angeles), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception), Nancy Stephens (Halloween) and Janet Leigh (Psycho, The Fog) also star.

HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION (2.35:1, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & Stereo, 94 min.)

The reality programmers at DangerTainment have selected Rudy (Sean Patrick Thomas, Dracula 2000), Bill (Thomas Ian Nicholas, American Pie), and a group of thrill-seeking teenagers to spend one fun-filled night in the childhood home of serial killer Michael Myers. But the planned live broadcast turns deadly when their evening of excitement becomes a night of horror as Michael himself decides to crash the party. Halloween: Resurrection also stars Bianca Kajlich (Bring It On), Katee Sackhoff (Riddick, Battlestar Galactica), Busta Rhymes (Narc), and Tyra Banks, along with a special appearance by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Blast From the Past: The ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ Bootleg DVD

Blast From the Past: The ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ Bootleg DVD

For today’s treat, here is something deep from the archives that I’ve been meaning to post! Despite its reception upon release, Halloween Resurrection at one point had a ton of hype for its release as everyone was curious to see how exactly Moustapha Akkad and Dimension Films was going to follow up Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later.

The home video market in 2002 was also drastically different than it is currently, and this bootleg DVD found itself circulating in fan circles while the film was still in theatres. My favourite aspect of it? The “review” at the top on the rear cover.
