Fresh off the speculation of a 4K Collector’s Edition of the original Halloween coming courtesy of Scream Factory, additional leaked listings (courtesy of the Blu-Ray.com forums) have shown that 4K releases could be possible for Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers! Check out all the photos below.
There’s been no official confirmation, but signs are pointing towards Scream Factory releasing a 4K Collector’s Edition of John Carpenter’s Halloween this September to help tie in with the release of Halloween Kills! A Canadian vendor’s database was updated this morning with the following listing:
Despite Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends being pushed back a year, this September is seeing “new” home video releases of the original classic, as well as Curse, H20 and Resurrection!
First up is a Best Buy exclusive steelbook of Halloween‘s 4K UHD release on September 29, which features the 2013 transfer for the UHD disc and contains the 2007 Blu-Ray as its second disc. Check out the artwork below, and click the link to pre-order your copy!
For those who don’t know, Paramount recently came into possession of the Miramax home video library for distribution purposes. First up on their agenda is a re-release of the infamous Echo Bridge triple feature on September 22, that features all three films presented in 1080i (rather than 1080p) on one disc, and has open matted transfers for H20 and Resurrection.
While I don’t personally recommend it unless you really want to see alternate versions of the films, it’ll most likely be around $10 USD. Check out the link below as well.
