Re: Halloween II 30th anniversary special edition blu-ray coming sept 13th
I'm shocked they actually used the right mask for the cover. Paramount could learn a thing or two from Uni.

Horrordvds.com originally posted the information and they're a legitimate source.
A poster even added that Terror in the Aisles is an "edited" version whereas the films they couldn't secure the rights to will be replaced by that of films within the Universal library. I'm curious if the documentary will be that in HD or standard definition.

Spoiler:
It's a pretty campy, fun affair, hosted by Donald Sutherland and Nancy Allen. Been a while since I've seen it, but I do recall an awful song layered over many of the clips.

Even with the original list, a majority of the clips came from the Universal library as it stands. 
Paramount has been more "open" about letting documentaries use clips from Friday the 13th (like the boring His Name Was Jason) and I'm sure it's not hard to secure clips from the independent titles like Dawn of the Dead and Suspiria. It's really Fox/MGM and Warner that we'd have to worry about.

Here's the first 15 minutes of Terror in the Aisles (the rest is on YouTube as well) for those who aren't familiar with it. I hadn't expected any extras at all, so this is a nice surprise. Hopefully Halloween III will be a SE as well. This is really shaping up to be a terrific fall for HD horror.

Ouch.
It may have run a bit longer than usual but that is due to the fact that the FANS had a lot of questions too, and since no one was giving me the "time's up" sign I kept calling on raised hands. If my own questions bored you, then I apologize. I'm sure the version on the DVD would have been edited down a bit.
But hey, thanks for coming!

Your with New Beverly? I do have to say you have a great theatre though, with awesome progaming and i regularly attend there several times a month.
And usually the Q&As you guys put on are really good. so please dont take my critcism of this one particular Q&A the wrong way.

SO what happened is this really not the release we thought it was going to be a few hours ago, Amazon doesnt list it anymore. But I did see that the Digital bits have it listed on their, and usually Bill Hunt will only put something that is not a certainty in the rumor mill. hopefully amazon will relist shortly

Sounds like they are taking the tv version of Halloween II and using it for the deleted scenes and alternate ending. Why not just have the tv version as the bonus? Was there a tv version of Halloween III?

Because the TV version of Halloween II (unlike the TV version of the 1978 original) is an incoherent, jumbled mess that doesn't make a lot of sense. In the TV version, when Myers enters the Elrod home to get the butcher knife, after Mrs. Elrod notices the blood left behind on the cutting board and begins screaming it cuts to a still frame of Myers (lol!) leaving the viewer to assume that Myers has killed Mrs. Elrod. There are amateurish edits like this the entire way through. We're probably better off just seeing the alternate footage in a special deleted scenes section. Also, many of the deaths of the hospital staff are completely cut from the TV version, so it's as if most of the hospital staff just vanishes mid-way through.

Never thought I'd be able to retire that VHS but I may depending on how edited it is.
