Very interesting Lyle. Sounds like perhaps the 5.1 remix Chase did for the ORIGINAL Halloween may have come off better (with the THX certification) than their attempts at 5.1 tracks on Halloween 4....go figure....I mean, the 5.1 track on the original Halloween is pretty anemic, sure, with lots...
Interesting info, Lyle; I did not know Anchor Bay released now THREE versions of Halloween 4....I believe I have the anamorphic version (release number two) which gave, as you said, a rather "dead 5.1 experience"; indeed, the track was very dissapointing..... What about the audio mix on the...
"I agree.....the mask was absolutely terrifying in the first two films. It looked so emotionless that it was absolutely chilling just seeing Michael come out from the shadows. :eek:" ABSOLUTELY agreed about the mask....something about the way the mask looked in the first two was just so damn...
Agreed, Jordan, on the Lea Thompson thing....it was indeed tough to look at Lorraine Gary in a one piece, wasnt it? As for Halloween 4 and 5, if I decide to rebuy these, it will also be in October as it is against my morals to buy and watch ANY Halloween franchise film outside of Halloween...
Interesting thoughts, Joe....I wish I could agree that THE REVENGE was better than JAWS 3 but I cannot....lol....at any rate, my condolences that you bought THE REVENGE twice.......:D
"I agree that the explanation they came up with in Halloween 6 was pretty weak, with the Thorn cult." Indeed... "But I'd still take Halloween 6 over H20 and Ressurrection, even though that's not saying much. I think Part 5 could have been stronger had the Man in Black been something more...
"And you know what the bad thing is? I'm a completist, so I have H:R on DVD, and even worse, I had to buy it twice when the first one got scratched up by someone being careless." Oh Jesus....my condolences....hahahahaha....seriously though, I can understand being a completist; I do it for...
Well, Brett, I agree that 4 had an atmosphere about it that SOMEWHAT felt like a Halloween franchise film, somewhat approaching the realm of a decent followup to II....but once 5 came and on and on, I think it was doomed. And forget the last one, which was complete direct to cable crap that felt...
"Don't forget that it wasn't even until part II came around that she was his "sister." I personally find it much creepier that he just picks a random girl who came by his house to drop off a key... then proceeds to stalk her and her friends all night." Agreed, Robert. "Regarding part...
Many fans of this franchise thought Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, myself included, was a rather worthwhile effort to get the series back on track after Halloween III: Season of the Witch derailed the franchise with the failed idea that each year there was going to be a different...
Funny Michael recalls the first Anchor Bay release of Halloween 4 to have a good 5.1 mix, etc. etc.....I havent watched mine in awhile (I save it for October viewing only) but from what I remember, it was quite far from stellar in terms of audio.
I didn't know this title was even out yet, as this and part 5 DiviMax are on my want list; I own the original Anchor Bay pressing of Halloween 4, and it seems like this version is not worth upgrading to....the visual transfer seems to, based on Michael's report, still riddled with some grain and...
