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.

Opened this bad boy up and watched the movie last night. Had never seen this movie start to finish. Crazy right? Good flick. Nice enough steelbook for the price. Not a fan of matte black steels but this one looks pretty cool actually. They should have embossed the center image, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

Anyone know if the UK will ever get a Halloween III steelbook, or even just a UK Blu Ray release? I like the look of the metal pack from Germany, but don't really want to pay £25 for it, and the US Special Edition (with slipcase) looks awesome, but I don't have a region free Blu Ray player.

Surprised the UK doesn't have a Blu Ray box set yet, ditto for Friday the 13th.

It's a nice edition. I got my copy from here.

Not too pricey if you compare it to recent prices for UK Steelbooks. I got the other Halloween Metalpaks from there too. :)

Great film with terrifying scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat thinking what happens next,whos the next victim with great acting and plot enough for this to remain a classic till this day well directed by John carpenter very hard in todays era to match a great director in this horror genre such as him...

There is an australian version which is region B... They have release the entire collection on BD. Here is the link:

At the moment it comes to just over £20 including delivery to the UK, but JBHIFI always have sales and this will rise and drop almost daily ;)

Just met John Carpenter as he is on tour in the UK. Had him sign my variant edition of The Thing by Drew Struzan along with this... I know there's a few scrapes on it, to be honest I just wanted The Thing signed but the wife insisted on getting this done too so there you go!
