Has "Halloween" been cancelled?
No, not the holiday --- but the August 5th Anniversary Release of "Halloween: H25," the one and only original slasher movie.
The reason I ask is because the title has been listed as an 8/5 release on ComingSoon.net (which I find to have the most comprehensive and user-friendly release schedule on DVDs). All of a sudden, the title has been pulled from that release date with no explanation given. I looked at other sites for release info, and was only able to find the title's August 5th release still active in, I think, DVDPlanet.
Anyone?

You still have to buy the TV version to get both cuts in the 25th anniversary edition (from what I can discern from the Anchor Bay website). I've seen the TV version in a few stores around here for sale.

Well, Anchor Bay still has it marked with an August 5th release. Here is a link to their site. Just do a search for Halloween & it will be on the second page.

(ThomasC) With the upcoming Halloween re-release will it have both the orginal version and the TV version? Also any idea when thoes Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing sets will be released? Any other Hammer movies are you going to be releasing? Thanks
(Michael_Felsher)The Halloween re-release will have the theatrical version and the TV scenes will be presented separately on the second disc. The Cushing and Lee sets will be early next year. More Hammer is planned, but nothing firm at this point.

So much for my numbered limited edition. Makes me feel special that I bought three years ago it and its now getting re-released. Bunch'a a crap for the peeps that made the buy, but excellent for the peeps that didnot.

Here. It used to be on the second page of results when you searched for "Halloween", but it's been bumped up to the first page, a couple down.
