I thought this was originally scheduled for September, the same day as 1408, then got moved to August, but then got moved to September again?

Highfefdigest shows The Mist for August and 1408 in September. Hopefully Halloween will follow in October!

I hope my confusion is really your confusion, because I believe I'm being shipped "HALLOWEEN" on BD from deepdiscount as I type this, the same BD reviewed here: http://avplay.avforums.com/index.php...tlereview=9047

Is there some super-duper extra-special BD "HALLOWEEN" release in the offing that I haven't heard about?

I think he's referring to Zombie's Halloween which the Weinstein's released.

About time! I've been wanting to blind buy this for a while, but I refuse to buy SD-DVDs anymore.

Good news about 1408 as well.

B&W version? What's that? Just the same exact film but devoid of color or a totally different version of the film?

Same version of the film in B&W. It's a lot more different than if you were to simply just turn the color off on the tv controls...it really, even though it is the same movie, does feel quite different.

I like both versions about equally but the B&W version, even if you don't appreciate the atmosphere, does make the special effects seem more convincing.

It should be noted the B&W is Darabont's preferred version of the film. I like it both ways personally. Good that they're giving us both versions in HD.
