Blu-ray Review: HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION

By CARL CORTEZ 10/21/2014
HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION | ©2014 Shout! Factory/Anchor Bay Entertainment

Distributor: Anchor Bay/Shout! Factory Suggested Retail Price: $169.99 The significance of HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION, which brings together all 10 films under once roof, is not lost among die-hard films. The rights issues for the ten films spans several different companies and many different licensees which has made a box set like this seem more like a pipe dream in the past than a reality. Then some crazy thing happened – Anchor Bay (which controls HALLOWEEN, HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS and HALLOWEEN V: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS), Miramax/The Weinstein Company which has HALLOWEEN: THE […]Read On »

HALLOWEEN - 35 Anniversary Edition Blu-ray | ©2013 Anchor Bay Entertainment

Stars: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, P.J. Souls, Nancy Loomis Writer: John Carpenter and Debra Hill Director: John Carpenter Release Date: September 24, 2013 Distributor: Anchor Bay Suggested Retail Price: $34.99  At this point, the big question is, do we need another HALLOWEEN special edition? Every five years, there’s a new anniversary edition, and while there are improvements each time, is it worth shelling out another $30 bucks to own it? For people who don’t love Carpenter’s original, I would say, it’s probably not, but for fans, each time it comes out, I can’t help but getting another copy for […]Read On »

Some serial killers need a right hand knife, especially when they also happen to be the director and composer. Such was the assistance John Carpenter required after not only making HALLOWEEN. but also creating the most notorious, and toe-tapping theme in horror score history. That’s how sound designer-turned-composer Alan Howarth was brought into the series with HALLOWEEN 2 and given the “in association” credit for his teaming with Carpenter. Skillfully abetting that film’s far more visceral shocks with eerie atmospheres and relentless rhythms, the collaborators next turned to computer-generated horror for the series SEASON OF THE WITCH. However, HALLOWEEN‘s most […]Read On »

Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 It was a spooky night on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Point in case, J. R.

Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, David Arquette & Kym Johnson, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus) butt! The couples had one […]Read On »

The 2011 EyeGore Awards were held at Universal Studios Hollywood on Friday night – just as Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights kicked off its annual haunted park event. Corey Feldman hosted the event with a CHILDREN OF THE CORN-esque stage backdrop providing fodder as a scarecrow proved to be Feldman’s comedic foil throughout the night. David Arquette won for his role in the SCREAM movie franchise. After accepting the award from his friend Thomas Jane, Arquette said, “I love the support of horror fans and the things they love. They’re a bunch of goofballs, just like me.” Bailee Madison, the […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, Melissa Leo, Joseph Lopez Writers: Zachary Donohue & T.W. Burgess Director: André Øvredal Distributor: Paramount Release Date: May 22, 2026 The new PASSENGER – not to be confused with Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1975 THE PASSENGER, 2022’s THE PASSENGER (LA PASAJERA), or other previous films with similar titles – is crowd-pleasing horror, the kind that has the audience interacting enthusiastically (as opposed to derisively) with the screen. This is the result of a number of intelligent choices made by PASSENGER’s writers, Zachary Donohue & T.W. Burgess, and its director, André Øvredal. For starters, the movie’s […]Read On »

Both are set in Oakland, both focus on Black protagonists struggling to survive in a world dominated by capitalist forces, and both incorporate outrageous science-fiction/fantasy elements. But where SORRY TO BOTHER YOU had its […]Read On »
