Boo to you, sir.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you'd like to try on one of these lovely masks...

The problem is, his memory is terrible so you can't really go by what he says either way. At a screening of Halloween II back in '09 he went on and on about how he came up with a shot of Michael sort of fading in behind one of the nurses (the one who gets the needle in her eye) and how impressed he was that Cundey knew how to do it - probably because he did the same thing in the original w/Carpenter. And when asked why he put "Mr Sandman" in the movie, he said it was because it was in the first one (it wasn't).

And it was infectious, because the lady who played the head nurse told us that Rick was the first to cast an African American in a lead role in a horror movie, even though this was 1981 and both Night and Dawn of the Dead (among dozens of others) had already done that, with actual lead roles (unlike her character).

So basically, we'd need the guy who recorded it to confirm that it was done, otherwise it'll be a mystery. And if he DID, it's likely the track would just be a lot of incorrect recollections anyway.

I'm "with" them in the sense that I host one screening a month for Horror Movie A Day (usually at midnight), and Halloween III happened to be one of those screenings. So, um... yeah, it's sort of a direct criticism of me especially when you point out the other Q&As they do are really good, LOL. But hey, I had fun.

As for TERROR IN THE AISLES, I was thinking perhaps since it's a bonus feature and thus not actually for sale on its own, perhaps they can get away with using the original clips? Not sure how that stuff works but seems to me that there would have to be a reason for them to release the film this way, as fans have been asking for it for years and thus it hardly needs to be lumped in with a movie that's already been released 2-3 times.

re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

no please dont take that as a direct criticsim of you, I am sure durring the events and various things I announce for, I have my days where I am not at my best either. and besides my opinon of that ONE q&a was only my opinon of that particular one, I am sure others who were their might think my thoughts on it were very different than theirs, so please please please dont take awayany sense of direct criticism.
perhaps i should have reworded how i wrote that earlier
Iam looking forward to the screening of Psycho II at the end of the month.

What are the odds that Halloween III may be a retailer exclusive?

I think Universal has only done 'exclusive' releases with Best Buy and Amazon, and typically it's only for 30 days (not like a Wal-Mart release or Paramount which could be 1 month or 1 year).

I figured I might as well ask about both, but their response about Halloween III doesn't really mean anything - they wouldn't confirm an upcoming release by email anyway. Hopefully it's still in the works.

re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

I think it's safe to say at this point that Universal is saving Halloween III for the film's 30th Anniversary next year. As for II, it's a pity that none of the interview footage mentioned in the first post of this thread will be included, but Terror being in 1080p will be a nice extra. In a way, the doc reminds me of the That's Entertainment! films - the connecting host segments are hokey and the clips often seem to be arbitrarily selected, but the sheer variety of the material, most of which will never see the light of day in HD, make it a welcome extra.

Good news on Terror in the Aisles:

Who has the best price for Halloween 2? I can't locate it at DVD Price Search.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

Amazon must have raised their price - it was $12.99 ($12.35 in my Gold Box) when I pre-ordered. I'm guessing Amazon's price will drop down again, as I can't see them continuing to only offer a 5 cent discount.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

That made me laugh :)

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

I'll buy this. Halloween I and Halloween II are the only Halloween films that exist to me. The rest were never made because they were crap. The whole shebang should have ended with the second one.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

Halloween is the one series that I love so much I never really mind double-dipping as long as there are some decent extras or a nice transfer.

Cheers for both!

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

Then you know Walmart won't be the exclusive retailer.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

For clarification, the Blu-ray does in fact have a lossless track; DTS-HD MA 2.0 to be exact.

However, since the retards at AVS and Blu-ray.com think everything should be remixed in 5.1, people ignore the fact that films like Halloween II were originally mixed in stereo.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

....and have all grain removed. I hate gimmicky 5.1 remixes. As long as the stereo mix is lossless, it's all good.

Re: Halloween II -- 9/13/11
 

... and full of grain because people don't realize grain is processed into the film stock. :)
