USA: Halloween III from Shout! Factory in September

[MarcMorris]

On the 18th September 2012, Shout! Factory will issue a Collector's Edition Blu-ray of Tommy Lee Wallace's Halloween III.

When a terrified toy salesman is mysteriously attacked and brought to the hospital, babbling and clutching the year’s most popular Halloween costume — an eerie pumpkin mask — Dr. Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins, The Fog, Night Of The Creeps) is thrust into a terrifying Halloween nightmare. Working with the salesman’s daughter, Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), Daniel traces the mask to the Silver Shamrock Novelties company and its founder, Conal Cochran (Dan O’Herlihy, RoboCop).

Ellie and Daniel uncover Cochran’s shocking Halloween plan and must stop him before trick-or-treaters across the country are kept from ever coming home in this terrifying thriller from writer/director Tommy Lee Wallace (Stephen King’s It).

I've already got the R1 DVD of this and don't own a multiregion Blu Ray player. Not sure I'd double dip anyway, although the film is a classic.

Looking forward to Halloween II the Television Cut rather than this release.

[drterror666]

Yes, I'm thinking the same. The DVD comes with the TV cut as well, so I'm going to be happy.

Do we actually know if the TV cut of Halloween II is full screen or in widescreen, as the deleted scenes for the TV cut on the old Blu release were presented full frame, which is concerning plus the combined running time for both films IE theatrical plus TV cut (According to Shout's Site) is 183 mins & as we all know the theatrical version runs for around 93 ish minutes NTSC wise, which might mean potentially based on the projected running time, that Shout might be pulling a slight fast one, in that it might be the TV cut with footage reinstated, but iike the TV cut could have all the gore removed, as in severly truncated

As much i want to see & own the TV cut of Halloween II, in this edition i want to see it with the gore still there, otherwise it will become another My Bloody Valentine 1981 (Restored but come on Paramount you took your time) or Friday The 13th Part II (Yes Mr Fullerton we all know you are the only person with a complete full uncut print, Which i would like to see sometime before my death LOL xxxxxx), when full specs are announced, region locked or not i will be there, am more excited about this thn the original Blu, which was pretty amazing xx
