Yeah I own the Halloween triple feature from Canada and I'm happy with the transfers on it so I won't rebuy those movies, but I will be looking into From Dusk Till Dawn. I hope they announce some of the Children of the Corn sequels on blu, I've always been a fan of those.

I think the complaint probably is more that they just took a picture of the DVD release (You can still see the DVD case around the artwork) shrunk it down and photoshopped it onto a blank Blu-Ray case image. It does look really crappy and unprofessional to have on their site.

Edit: Looks like they did go with proper artwork for the actual release.

You mean DIVIMAX, don't you? Unless you're really referring to the dead format that Circuit City promoted back in the early days of DVD. As far as I can tell, none of the Halloween films ever appeared on that format, but SCREAM and THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS did.

Haha, yeah, DIVXMAX. They released great versions of 4/5 a couple years back.

The SEs of 4/5 are also available in a double feature that was $5 at Wal-Marts.

Anchor Bay needs to get off their butts and release BDs of 4 and 5 stat! Did anyone listen to the audio commentary of 4 with Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris. It's funny to listen to because they don't seem to have a clue as to what's going on in the Halloween universe.

So, I have a slightly relevant update. I saw the DVDs of some of these releases at K-mart. There is a Miramax banner on the front and Echo Bridge is on the back. I saw a Children of the Corn collection, jammed on one disc. I also saw the first two Prophecy movies on one disc. They had individual releases, like The Faculty and Dracula 2000. They ranged from $5 - 7.50 on DVD. No sign of the Blu-rays...

Definitely would pick up Equilibrium if it was in the correct OAR.

I thought the current canadian release was OAR. Plus, it includes 2 commentaries and a featurette.

Hmm..I wonder if the later Halloween films will have the same transfers that showed up on the Halloween Triple Pack (Canadian Blu-Rays)

I'm not sure if it's worth an upgrade if it's just a touched up same transfer.
8.75 for a new transfer isn't worth it IMO.
I'd like some new extras. :/

Considering they released single through quad DVD releases, I think I'll wait on From Dusk and Hellraiser to see if they do a tri and quad set respectively.

Double feature titles were announced on Blu-ray.com this morning. I'm on my iPad at work, so it's kind of a bitch to copy/paste/quote on this guy.
All I know is that I'm going to have Aaron Jackson personally sign my Blu-ray copy of Children of the Corn V / Children of the Corn 666 double-feat. Boom. Winning.

To my surprise I just picked up a copy of "The Yards" (sticker price 9.99) on Blu-ray over at my local Best buy. Not sure if all best buys are putting them out, I know Best Buy has been known to get certain windows to sell exclusive blu-rays before the rest of the chains are allowed or if it this was simply a mistake but it was quite the pleasant surprise.
