For this very special release, Anchor Bay went back to the vaults to present this legendary terror classic as never before, including creating an all-new HD transfer personally supervised by the film's original cinematographer, Academy-Award® nominee Dean Cundey (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Apollo 13, the Back to the Future trilogy), a new 7.1 audio mix (as well as the original mono audio), a brand-new feature length audio commentary by writer/director John Carpenter and star Jamie Lee Curtis, an all-new bonus feature with Ms. Curtis, as well as selected legacy bonus features from previous ABE releases. Available in a collectible limited-edition steelbook package.

Brilliant news..
So glad we've been able to secure this..
And a re-stored transfer

 

[rapta]

Pre-ordered, will be down to artwork now...

 

[tono06]

i pre order! yeahhhh!

 

[Konflick]

Im in and i love halloween films

 

[tenderheartbear]

I imagine it'll have the same artwork at the US digibook (which personally, I don't hate), but the theatrical poster art would be a bonus. Either way, I've placed my order.

To my mind, there are only 5 truly, truly great horror movies and I intend to have them all in steelbooks.

1) Psycho - own
2) The Exorcist - need
3) The Wicker Man - ordered
4) Halloween - ordered
5) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - need

[Kashby]

I'll wait until i see the artwork before pre ordering.

The Shining is a truly great horror movie IMHO.

 

[carpenterfan78]

Yeah surprised too.It's a great price.Now what do i do with that digibook order?

 

[justboy]

Wow, good find snooloui!
Just had to preorder at that price. Great to see Anchor Bay are putting in some effort for this release.

 

[Goonboy]

Oh yes, can't believe it, at last it gets the steelbook treatment that this film truly deserves.

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Does life get any better than this

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

Wow! wasn't expecting this!

Great price also!


We need all of them, with original poster artwork, and then we need the Friday the 13th series.
