1.0 out of 5 stars INCLUDES EVERYTHING HALLOWEEN FANS ALREADY OWN..., August 1, 2008

By	Anton Tobias (The vast cornfields of the Midwest) - See all my reviews

On October 14th Anchor Bay/Starz Entertainment will release a Halloween 30th anniversary edition of the film. I, for one, being a longtime Halloween enthusiast, haven't been this dissapointed since Rob Zombie got to cash in on and destroy this classic film with one of the worst renditions ever made.

Again, and in typical Anchor Bay fashion, consumers are being offered the same Halloween product in a new package. Look closely, every single DVD disc included in this set has been a prior release from Anchor Bay.

Even the Blu-Ray disc has been out for months. This is disgraceful and Halloween fans deserve better.

The original Halloween was released thirty years ago, so why is Anchor Bay releasing Halloween 4 and 5 with this set? They were filmed in the late 80's. The answer is greed and laziness. Anchor Bay is jumbling every Halloween release they've ever produced into one pathetic boxset in order to cash in yet again.

This has to be the laziest attempt at a Halloween special edition ever. Thirty years of triumph deserves so much better and this company is just slapping together a lame Halloween boxset at the last minute and calling it a thirty year editon.

Even the Micael Myers mask included in this set is cheap and has been available for years at any local Spencer's gift shop. It has no resemblance to the original mask what-so-ever. Nothing in this boxset is worth spending money on.

This was the perfect opportunity for Anchor Bay to release some of the "lost Halloween footage" found a few years ago burried in boxes. All of John Carpenter's Halloween footage that was not used in the movie was found and Halloween fans have been long awaiting to see just a few frames from this holy grail of unused film stock.

Will any of this footage be available on this boxset? Nope. Just the same tired releases from a company that doesn't know how to show this classic film the proper respect it deserves.

4.0 out of 5 stars What The Set Will Include. Realease Date October 7th., July 21, 2008

By	Mike Liddell (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

I found the information below online and figured I'd pass it along. There have been a ton of versions of Halloween released so I'm up in the air on this one but it does seem like a decent set and if the price seems too much consider that the hard to find extended edition which is (included in this set)on Amazon brand new is going for $109 and it's the only brand new copy, Halloween : Extended Edition.

INFO FROM MOVIEWEB
You can bring back Michael Myers (and his mask) back to DVD this October. Halloween is coming to DVD in a 30th Anniversary edition set on October 7. This six-disc set will be priced at $89.97 SRP and includes a lot more than just movies.

The set will include the extended edition of Halloween, which has been out of print for many years, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5, Halloween 25 Years Of Terror documentary, plus the Blu-Ray version of Halloween and a special collectable Michael Myers mask. No special features on theses discs have been released yet. I'll add once I see them.

1.0 out of 5 stars "ANCHOR BAY", STOP IT!, July 15, 2009

By	Brock Stevens (Coal City, WV USA) - See all my reviews

I am witting this review just incase the people at ANCHOR BAY look at reviews for the crap they issue. First of all ANCHOR BAY nice try, your staff is apparently trying to get it, but STILL HAVE NOT. All of us HALLOWEEN fans want A COMPLETE BOX SET, you know "Halloween", "Halloween 2", "Halloween 3" (Even though "Halloween 3" doesn't follow the plot, and is probably one of the worst films ever made.) "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers", "Halloween 5", "Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers", and "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later". Until you can deliver a box set with ALL of the original films STOP RE-RELEASING THEM. I am boycotting all of ANCHOR BAY's present and future "Halloween" re-releases until they get with the program. Also, "ANCHOR BAY" why do you discontinue your good releases like "Sleuth", with Laurence Olivier? The few good movies you've released are in crapy editions, and the others are discontinued. From now on ANCHOR BAY production team listen to US the customers because it's our money you want!

P. S. If you ever do release a COMPLETE BOX set try being more creative with the cover art on the front of the cases.
