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.

Was ooing and aahing about getting this as i have it already on Blu Ray, thought it was a repackage with the same disc but just noticed its a new remaster which pretty much makes it a instant pre-order for me. The current release by Starz/Anchor Bay i thought was pretty decent so looking very forward to this.

Hopefully it inc a lot of extras!

 

[cooey]

It should be exactly the same as the US digibook so yeah, there should be plenty

 

[Zagreus]

How do the extras compare to previous versions? I want to get this but from the sounds of people on here every version has exclusives? so there will never really be one definitive version?

any guesses what the print run on this will be??? I'm not really bothered just curious, I'm guessing 10,000, I doubt it will be a super high number

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

I thought 10K as well...

Great use of the frame with this one.

 

[Zagreus]

This is being REALLY petty, but I hope the finished version has "He" in italics like the poster. Emphasise who is coming.

me too. I have a feeling this is gonna be a real gem of a steel. it seems like they are doing everything right with this one. hopefully Anchor Bay follows through correctly.

Simple and sleek design plus a remastered disc. This is really tempting. Not to mention the reasonable price and not being a zavvi exclusive. Hopefully it's region free as well.

Why do I have a feeling this is going have a matte finish.
If it was to me, a strong glossy coating would be more than sufficient (ex. FS/BB Disney steelbooks).
For the moment I'll try to stay optimistic.

I think the finish will be identical to Thor. Matte finish with a hint of shine on the pumpkin.

That would be perfect

I don't mind if it is high quality matte finish but please not like the Studio Canal and Fox Steelbooks which are prone to paint chips.

I agree with you, if its like Thor steelbook , its perfect for me.
