That is some truly bad packaging. Damn. I'll pass for now. Was going to grab it at Best Buy last night but looked at this thread first. Thanks!

The cover art looks slightly better in person. It does have a nice textured feel to it.
The digibook, on the other hand, is terrible. It doesn't have the plastic "plate" to hold the disc, it's just a paper sleeve glued to the back cover of the digibook. I thought the package looked awful thin when I picked it up at the store but didn't realize why until I opened it.
Oh well, I'm looking forward to revisiting the film in October.

After the the billionth time from VHS to Blu Ray, Anchor Bay never released the movie with this theatrical poster as the cover
Now should of been that time.

Didn't look or feel that way at all to me. Felt really light and chintzy in person to me. The Warner ones are usually really nice, Universal uses basically the same design for theirs.

Re: Halloween 35th Anniversary BD
The problem with the packaging is that the disc slides into a thin paper sleeve on the very back of the case, which everyone who knows about movie packaging will tell you is idiotic.

As with the pan-and-scam vs OAR war, which we finally won, we'll have to fight harder for studios to "get" the fact that we want our catalog titles released with decent packaging and Original one-sheet cover art... I think we'll be losing that battle, as it's too late in the game now, but we'll have to speak with my wallets, as I'm doing on this release.
Usually, I couldn't care less about the packaging and / or cover art (I want a stellar picture, well-encoded and high-bitrate feature film), but this is HALLOWEEN we're talking about! Same goes for most beloved catalog titles.

The link is broken, it won't show the picture.
Oh well, I quite like the digibook packaging anyhow.

Someone should just copy and paste the photo instead of linking. I had to login that other site to actually see the fucking thing. Also, I don't have a Wal-Mart near me, so I'd have to order it and do a store pick up and even that would be going out of my way and a gamble.
