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).

The UHD offers an honest, though certainly not extraordinary, upgrade from the Blu-ray. The improvements to sharpness under the 4K resolution are This box set comprises three terrifying films from one of the longest running horror series in cinema history. Michael Myers takes on Tommy Doyle and Dr. Loomis with help from a mysterious cult, comes face to face with Laurie Strode again and slashes his way through the cast of a reality TV show!

The UHD solidifies the colors a good bit, and the Blu-ray's color palette almost looks dull and unhealthy in comparison. Noise Four decades after escaping his Halloween night murder spree, a haunted Laurie Strode comes face to face once more with the masked psychopath Michael Myers. A cult classic, Children of the Corn received a 4K release on September 28. The Stephen King adaptation, which spawned a small franchise of direct-to-video sequels and reboots, comes equipped with Dolby Vision and a new 2160p transfer scanned directly from the 35mm camera negative, and the results are actually rather disappointing.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. presentation thereof is without flaw, playing with seamless clarity and positioning and expert prioritization when competing with any surrounding HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1.85:1, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & Stereo, 88 min.

Released on October 5 was the Universal Classic Monsters Icons of Horror Collection, featuring new scans of the classic Universal horror films Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and The Invisible Man. Some of these classic Universal monster movies are scarier than others, but they are all icons of the genre. Halloween (2018) ignores everything that has come before, to be a standalone sequel to the 1978 original film. Michael Myers once again escapes to wreak havoc on Haddonfield, killing indiscriminately until he encounters Laurie Strode, where a final showdown sees these two adversaries square off one last time. The film reinvents Michael as a deranged and brutal killer, while Laurie’s quest for revenge has driven away her family and her sanity. A cleverly put together film with plenty of references to the original, awesome music with only a couple of missteps that can be forgiven in the grand scheme of things. The macro-level history behind the Halloween movies isn't particularly interesting.
