Oh man, another one! I guess the US never got those special editions the UK had, I'm assuming disc content will be the same, but if they make a nice hard box with a new booklet, might get it!

Also a exclusive from sacred bones records

 
That's pretty cool, although I've never collected those black boxes with records - there were at least 4 like that before, for Big Trouble in Little China and first Halloween movies. They are very basic, same edition housed inside with a vinyl on top, and just obnoxious shiny silver printing on the front shape and title on the side.
I do like the pins this time.

I forgot about the 2015 Shout Factory release. The extras are copied from there, some are different, some are missing.
Compared to UK, this will have the same 3 commentaries, the deleted opening with commentary, a 1 of 2 15-min featurettes (on visual effects), and the only interview the European releases had (with Joe Unger). Then it adds an exclusive 23 min featurette "Return to", and three exclusive interviews with composer, still photographer Gottlieb-Walker, and filmmaker DeCoteau, but will be missing the other 2018 UK 15-min featurette, "Snake Plissken - Man of Honor", and an almost hour long documentary Purgatory.
So it's best to have both releases, but anyone already owning that Shout Factory 2-disc CE won't get anything new.
So anyway, it all boils down to packaging and physical extras, as I thought.
