In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton. lasting relationship with the actress.

Popping all of these films into one set was a very smart move on Scream Factory’s part. Few would prefer to buy them separately, but they also a paint a picture of a particularly chaotic era for the Halloween franchise. If you’re a fan of the series or these films, this a very nice 4K upgrade. It’s hard to recommend, but even casual fans will get something out of it.

Interestingly, the entire Halloween franchise has five distinct eras. The first three films make up the first era, the fourth and fifth film make up the second, the sixth, seventh, and eighth film make up the third, the two Rob Zombie films make up the fourth, and the three Blumhouse films make up the fifth. It’s almost like having a different volume devoted to a single subject sitting on your shelf. Some volumes are more entertaining than others, and it’s easy to ignore the rest. Die-hard fans will defend each and every film in the franchise to their dying breaths (even the recent films, which seemed to stir up far more controversy than any of the previous ones), but it’s clear that the Halloween franchise has outlived many of its peers at this point. After all, nobody is making any A Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th sequels or reboots, though they’ve tried in the past. Even so, there seems to be a constant appetite for Michael Myers that never really gets quenched, regardless of the quality of the films being released.

Newsprint Ad Gallery (3:42) gathers advertisements from various cities and dates, also including re-releases and Shout Factory has announced the release of the The Halloween 4K Collection which brings Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween: H20 and Halloween: Resurrection to 4K Ultra HD.

Like a frog in a high school biology lab, we’ve dissected John Carpenter’s Halloween, and again, and again, and again… and again! At this point, I really don’t have much more to add to the commentary here other than to state outright I’m a die-hard fan of the franchise. I may not love every entry equally, but I devour each one as they come out and watch them all through every year come October. The biggest omission, and one that was not likely to be included anyways, is all of the unearthed camera negative footage from the film, which was discovered in the mid-2000s by Don May, Jr. of Synapse Films and Billy J. Kirkus. That footage is said to consist mostly of silent alternate takes and outtakes (at least, according to what Don May has actually seen of it). Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in utilizing it at this point, for whatever reasons. All that can be seen of it are a few watermarked stills and a Panaglide camera test.
