First Five ‘Halloween’ Movies Coming to 4K from Scream Factory
The first five Halloween movies are all getting deluxe new 4K Ultra HD releases this September from Scream Factory.
Officially announced today, the new 4K Collectors Editions include John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989).
Here are the early details from the official announcement:
• All five films will receive all-new HD transfers from their original camera negatives (Parts 1-3 are approved and supervised by cinematographer Dean Cundey). This marks the debut of Parts 2-5 to the UHD format.
• All will sport a new 7.1 Dolby Atmos audio tracks!
• For a limited time only, all five releases will come packaged in a rigid slipcase featuring newly commissioned art from artist Joel Robinson. The wrap on the UHD case inside will showcase this art too but is also reversible if you’d like to showcase the original theatrical poster art if you prefer.
• A Blu-ray disc (sporting the new transfers) will be included in each release as well as some previously existing bonus features. Potentially more are in progress and we’ll update you in the future with those details when they come in.
