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.

Hope the artwork for this is decent, if it isn't I think I'll just cancel and go for the £5 amaray...or a remastered amaray if it's cheaper. Fingers crossed it's the original poster!

Out of interest, which steelbooks have Starz/Anchor Bay done before? Preferably non-exclusives (I'm assuming this isn't an Amazon exclusive?) so we can compare what kind of quality we'll likely get...

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the German Walking Dead Steelbook. I don't have it, but I think it had a printed back??

Target exclusive Django Unchained was Anchor Bay as well, but never a UK steelbook :thumbs:
 
I also like Season of the Witch in a "so bad, its good" kinda way - the ending is really cool too.

...but, no i dont think it deserves a individual steelbook release for such a minor part in the series. It would work perfectly in a Halloween collection steelbook tho :)
 
So we haven't had one in the UK yet? Fingers crossed no printed back...nor horizontal business or blue banners or anything off-putting!

Yep, as far as i no there has been no UK Anchor Bay steelbook :thumbs:

The only thing putting me off is the £13 asking price, i mean its a good price, but i hope that that doesn't mean that they make a cheap steelbook :ohno:
 
What do you guys think will be 'special' about this version?

I'm hoping for embossing, border and gloss but that's not too special as we have seen it before (Argo).

I have it on pre order but may have to go with the cheaper amazon version as I can't seem to justify paying £25 for a film I haven't seen yet, but if it really is worth the money then ill get it
