There are other features on the 4 disc's that I haven't listed but as you can see 4 disc's the original film and hours of features.

The most delightful element of this thing, however, is seeing plenty of vintage stills and 'making of' footage from the shoot, which will be of great interest to any fan. Editor's Note: This was originally published for FANGORIA on July 25, 2006, and we're proud to share it as part of The Gingold Files . Chock full of cool information and rare tidbits, this one is, to my knowledge, really the first out of the gate in terms of a fan-made FULL retrospective on a film.

It examines why the films are so popular and revisits many of the original locations used in the films - seeing the effects on the local community. Yet if the rocker-turned-filmmaker makes good on his premise to reinvent the franchise, it could mean a welcome new beginning for Halloween—and if such becomes the case, there’s no better way to close the book on the original series than with this DVD package. Hidden in the heart of Russia, there is a Soviet-era city where thousands of people live and work behind barbed-wire fences monitored by armed guards.

The latter’s presence is appropriate, of course, given that Zombie recently received the assignment to helm the next Halloween, a development that occurred too late to acknowledge on the doc. For those of us who have been following this film series for years—the devotees to whom this package is most directly pitched—some of the two-disc set’s material covers pretty familiar ground, but there are also plenty of surprises and enough fresh material to satisfy even the most jaded Michael Myers maniac.I was impressed by the collection of interesting documentaries and interviews over the four discs and having a remastered copy to replace my outdated VHS copy is very satisfying. However, those more familiar with the Halloween chronicles may find that, regrettably but inevitably, the most interesting material on view accentuates the negative.

In other taped panels, H4 and 5 heroine Ellie Cornell is most likable; cinematographer Dean Cundey is intriguingly technical; and a Michael Myers reunion allows seven of the masked murderer’s alter egos to reveal their favorite kill scenes and recount the various injuries they suffered. Man erfährt hier einiges an Hintergrundwissen und den Eindrücken unterschiedlichster Personen die an der Reihe beteiligt waren. The documentary proper follows the chronological history of the franchise by way of film clips and interviews with just about anybody who had anything to do with Halloween and its successors, from Carpenter, producer Debra Hill and star Jamie Lee Curtis to a few of the folks behind the unfortunate Halloween: Resurrection, the last release in the series to date.

The disc will play perfectly without interruption and the case, inlay notes and sleeve may show limited signs of wear.

In one convention clip, this devotion is rewarded when a drawing is held to award a lucky fan the chance to appear in the ninth Halloween; the winner is a cute girl whose victory is evidently unrelated to the fact that she flashes the documentarians’ camera elsewhere on the disc. For devoted fans of the Halloween series who couldn't make it to that legendary event, this is definitely the next best thing to actually having been there. Also inevitable, here as well as during the Curse panel, are requests from fans in the audience to recite favorite lines from their respective films; a surprise arrives when Curse actress Janice Knickrehm recites an entire monologue from memory! The impetus is a Halloween convention held in South Pasadena (site of the original filming), from which a considerable amount of footage is drawn.For the casual fan or the uninitiated, it’s a thorough primer on how a simple idea from the mind of executive producer Irwin Yablans spawned an enduring horror legend (and, eventually, cash cow). Sending the stage appearances off on a high note, Akkad and Yablans appear together, fielding audience ideas for the ninth film, going into detail on the ’78 film’s origins and giving both their fellow Halloween creators and the franchise’s devotees due appreciation.
