Duh.  I'd buy it 7 times and watch it more than you could ever know.  On another note, the news for Halloween will be released today or tomorrow.  Watch HalloweenMovies.com for the information.  They'll probably only be announcing the director.

You won't be.

I've only done that once--the movie Mercury Rising...I'd owned it for a few years, but saw it used someplace and picked it up again...it was only when I got home and went to put it on the shelf that I noticed a copy was already in its place.

Hehe...didn't wanna stir up anymore controversy...I'll send you a PM if you want, but it's terribly out of date...and on my old computer now...c**p.

I wish they'd include the TV CUT in a special edition, should one ever come to pass.

is there anything we can do to get a special edition?

Stanton, short of buying the rights to the film, you can't much do anything.

I personally am very happy over the Rob Zombie news.  Halloween rocks, and so did Devil's Rejects.  I hope he'll make a solid film.

It's not a remake, it's a restart.

And I'm hardcore fans of both slashers, but Michael Myers takes the cake.  He's more (not entirely) realistic than Jason which makes him scarier.

What is the difference between a remake and a restart?  Would it be like Batman and Batman Begins as an exemple??

You're going to get 3 DVD releases in July with the Divimax releases of Halloween 4 and 5 and the 25th Anniversary DVD coming out from Anchor Bay.  The 2 Halloween movies will have commentaries with their respective directors.  Should be good.

Remake... Restart... why oh why???  I'd rather see another sequal, and continue the Michael Meyers we all already know.  I was not totally inpressed w/Zombie's horror fims enough to give him run with a major franchise.

I got my Freddy Box Set, I got my Jason box set, now where is my Michael, Norman, Leatherface Box sets?!?!?

The US may never get a definitive Halloween box set, but the ones already dished out overseas aren't worth c**p.  You can bet I've already called dibs on all three summer Halloween releases on DVD Active.  Gonna break out my old H4 and H5 DVDs for some comparisons to see just how good this Divimax is.  Also wanna do an editorial on the many versions of the original on DVD over the years... but that'd take more time.

Franchise, said this on an older thread but doubt you saw it... loved the OHMB board.  Haven't surfed on in about a year or two, maybe I should re-generate a password and re-visit.  Weren't you at one time hooked up with One Good Scare, which the owner deserted for the official site?

Yeah, halloweenmovies.com has sucked big time ever since it went to flash (I remember it back in 1998).  Suddenly, all of the features are gone, like two dozen features went missing.

One Good Scare and Myers Museum BOTH were better than the official site now.  They get news SO SLOWLY.

Mr Franchise if you have a connection than you should help Halloween fans by pressing the studio to release a COLLECTORS edition of "HALLOWEEN II",  "HALLOWEEN H20" and get the producers cut of "Halloween 6".  Look the fans of Richard Donner got Warner Brothers to give us the Richard Donner version of "Superman 2".  So maybe the fans of "Halloween II" can get the Rick Rosenthal version of "Halloween II"  

I know people and that's it.  I can't pressure Universal or Dimension to do something they think will lose money.  That's the reason for the barebones releases of both DVDs.  Perhaps with the news of the upcoming production of the next Halloween movie they'll reconsider, but I highly doubt it.
