Shout Factory has announced the release of the The Halloween 4K Collection (1995 – 2002) which brings Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween: H20and Halloween: Resurrection to 4K Ultra HD. Halloween was shot on 35 mm photochemical film using Panavision Panaflex cameras and anamorphic lenses. For its second release on Ultra HD, Scream Factory has utilized a new native 4K scan of the original camera negative, framed at the proper 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio, and graded the image for High Dynamic Range (Dolby Vision and HDR10 options are both available). Like its predecessor, this presentation has also been approved by director of photography Dean Cundey.

The blues and reds of the streets or the police lights are far more intense while flesh tones are keen and natural.

The success of "H20" is recalled, but production participants also offer It’s difficult to imagine a small, independent horror film not only spawning sequels, but an entire franchise dedicated to its leading boogie man. Michael Myers has been scaring audiences since 1978 in varying fashions, having been essentially rebooted twice. Yet the simplicity and effectiveness of John Carpenter’s original Halloween, complete with one of the most recognizable pieces of film score in the history of cinema, still stands tall above the many films that followed in its wake. It’s often blamed for the slasher glut of the 1980s, though one would argue that Friday the 13th, a blatant attempt at ripping off Halloween, was where that trend truly began. Now, over forty years since its release, it’s still paying dividends whereas many of the franchises that it spawned are either forgotten, sitting on the shelf, or in creative limbo.

That all said, I personally feel that the most interesting era of Halloween films in terms of mistakes or behind-the-scenes stories is definitely the Dimension Films era. Not because any of the films are particularly great, but because of how far the people behind them were willing to go, or not at all. Curse is probably the most distinctive visually, H20 is likely the most popular, and Resurrection is the bottom of the barrel in almost every way. Fans generally like the previous five films to certain degrees, but opinions on the Dimension era are varied. There’s more to those films than just Michael Myers showing up to murder babysitters, and whether you agree with the direction that the storyline took or not, it’s fascinating to see them try and make sense out of it. For me, the first three films are the essence of this franchise, and everything that came after that is questionable.
