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.

Great news as I am getting ever so picky about the mass production of steelbooks. I am glad to see one in the pipework for a title that deserves this treatment

Totally agree. I'm the same at the moment.

 

[MrFurious]

Awesome! Yeah I wish Zavvi never got all the exclusives... This is a reasonable price for a re-master too! Will go great next to The Thing steelbook (the side is the best part of that steel!) and the Big Trouble In Little China steelbook whenever that comes out

I hope they dont get any new exclusives, useless company to deal with, a total mess, take an age to answer you and dont have a telephone line, amazon need more

Any idea what sort of extras it will have? Similar to the US digi?

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

Huh???? Wouldn't it be best to leave it for those who do?

I will buy what i want buddy

People buy things they dont like to finish a goal...its called collecting

Im sure theres enough of a printrun to allow me to buy 1 copy and leave it sealed

Why collect things you don't like? You do this with limited runs too?

What's wrong with buying a Steelbook just for the Steelbook? If we just wanted the film, we would buy the amaray and save a lot of cash!

Back off buddy....my goal is all uk horror steelbooks not that i need to explain myself to you.

I open and watch all my steelbooks as i only buy what i like. Horror steels are the only ones i buy even if i dont like them but this is actually the first horror steel i dont like

Not a very wise first couple of posts imo

 

[Zagreus]

WHOA! We need to calm down a bit xD Whilst I agree you are entitled to buy the films you want, Zagreus was only asking a question, he wasn't being threatening in any way.

Thank you.

Classic Carpenter & one of my favourites, if they don't use the original poster artwork then maybe use the 'Jack o lantern' image from the opening titles.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

Ordered in a heartbeat.

[wolfmansgotnards]

As soon as I seen this, I could taste my shoelaces!! Ordered!!

 

[nekromantik]

Orederd my copy!
Own the original release of this on Blu, hopefully the extras will be worth double dipping for!
Got the 4 disc DVD too which none of the blu's can beat for content.

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

I have every version of every Halloween movie. So this will do nicely.

 

[posty01]

This is a must have in any horror fans collection...

 

[ocielz]

Only one will do me. They're both gonna be the same content so I'm gonna go for the UK steelie as it's cheaper

Cancelled the Digibook and sticking with This Baby
