    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween - The Complete Collection -- in Blu-ray

    I’m pretty sure that with the RZ separate releases and new UHDs of the main series you will have every extra in the box set other than the classic 1994 H1 commentary (easily obtainable on the AB blu) and the Horrors Hallowed Grounds for Curse (which is on YouTube). It’s only value now is...

    Hi. Did anyone get Halloween 4? Mine has 2 UHD discs and is missing the blu-ray.

    Pre-Order The Thing (1982) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    The included blu-ray is the original Universal one. So anyone like me who’s not 4K, but picking up UHDs to watch the SDR blus of the new remaster can sit this one out and stick with SF or Arrow. No surprise considering this is Universal. WB seems to be ones on top of this.

    Pre-Order Halloween I-V (4k UHD Combo) Available for Preorder

    I have a theory that this the same SD files we all had on our 1999 discs. Maybe a mpeg4 re-encode for space. I best we can hope for in quality is a newer encode of the original SD transfer files which I’m sure would have little improvement, but hey at least it would be available.

    Pre-Order My Bloody Valentine (1981) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    This is incredible! The old (and now very expensive) blu had lower quality inserts of the uncut footage which were kind of jarring. A whole new consistent scan of the film is welcome. I still haul out the real3D version of the remake every once in a while.

    Pre-Order The Fly Collection (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    We almost got the same treatment in the Omen boxset with old transfers, but at least the original had a new 4K scan. I was hoping for the same here with the Cronenberg Fly. This one was still a no-brainer for me since I had none of these on Blu or even DVD. Side note: The Omen remake in that set...

    Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974)- coming from WAC

    Thanks for the heads up on this. I have recently received this and have yet to watch it. Is there any way to check to see if I have the original or re-pressing? P.S. As much as I love Hammer Dracula, I still believe I may have purchased this blu because the title looks bad-ass in my collection.

    Batman anthology 1989-1997 UHD Blu Ray in June!!!

    Same boat here, but I would happily upgrade if the BD discs are from the new master like the latest Matrix Trilogy. The UHD discs will sit tight until I pick up a new TV.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Rec Collection -- in Blu-ray

    Happy to say this is on its way from Amazon. I had just watched 1 on a streaming service and was 1/2 way through the 2nd one before I got called away. Both were gone from the service when I went back to finish a day later. My love of 1 and what I had seen of 2 is worth the cost of the set which...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Just the first disc in the Complete Collection box set. It is an updated version of the 35th anniversary disc with a lossless Dolby TrueHD mono track. A link from DVD compare to shows that it is also available in this set. The 4K has a lossy incorrect mono track with the 4K 35th ann transfer and...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Same here. Our major bummer is that the lossless mono track is already there and ready on the box set. It wasn't a case of them not going back to the original tapes or film to make a new one. They could have easily ripped the track from the box blu off of the shelf itself and muxed it in. There...

    Halloween coming in October in 4K UHD

    I know, right! Always so close. Someone at Lionsgate and other companies needs to be always monitoring sites like this while staying close to the authoring process to avoid these pitfalls. I would recommend one of us going to their office, moving into an empty office, and just call your self...
