John Carpenter's Halloween already returning to Blu-Ray....
EXCL: Halloween: 30th Anniversary DVD Coming - ShockTillYouDrop.com
Anchor Bay must be about to lose the rights on this one (just as they are Evil Dead, according to Bruce Campbell), so already we're not only getting a double-dip, but a box set. If the color timing has been fixed on the nighttime scenes, I'll gladly pick it up, sadly enough.

Re: John Carpenter's Halloween already returning to Blu-Ray....
It sounds like the six disc set is all DVDs and maybe AB will just re-promote their original Blu Ray release of the first movie.
My guess is that the existing DVD of the theaterical cut is disc 1, the TV/extended cut is disc 2, Halloween 4 Divimax is disc 3, Halloween 5 Divimax is disc 4 and then the 25 Years Of Terror doc is discs 5 and 6.
EDIT: That being said, I'll still gladly rebuy Halloween on Blu Ray if there is a new transfer or new special features.

Agreed - hopefully, they'll finally get the color timing accurate this time, but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: John Carpenter's Halloween already returning to Blu-Ray....
It's the same exact BD. Nothing new. They are just including the BD release, as is, with this set.
Death to PG-13! And now death to DVNR too!!

Halloween (US - DVD R1 | BD RA) in News > Releases at DVDActive
Kinda weird that they're releasing a DVD set with a Blu-Ray disc.

For what it's worth, there's only been three different DVDs (one of which was a non-anamorphic release that was only available for about a year) over the course of a decade and they just keep re-releasing them in various combos. As they came out, I bought all three but I've never bought the re-releases of the same disc.

Re: John Carpenter's | |
Hurray, the annual Halloween release from AB! What would we do without it? cause you just can't stop collecting them!
