So Region A locked or not do we know?
I'm really eager to get this set, though as much as is being included, it looks like not quite everything's here. For instance, the television version of "Halloween: H20" is missing (here's a comparison of it & the theatrical cut: http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=5...), and the theatrical version of Rob Zombie's "Halloween 2". (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume his Unrated Director's Cut is what's included here.)
Not that I'm complaining, mind you; this collection is a "Halloween" saga fan's dream! And I'm definitely a hardcore fan - I even love 4 & 5 (though I still have no interest in seeing "Resurrection").

love the extras list especially the extras for the Halloween 6 Producer's Cut disc
No extended ending for Halloween 5, I see…

Well Anchor Bay UK own the rights to the first five films, they last released a DVD set the other year so maybe we'll get a UK release.
Nope. Not a thing. Bas tards.

Have you had a reply yet about a UK release?

Being an avid horror fan and a HUGE fan of most horror classics, I seriously wanted to like the "Halloween" franchise. I wasn't expecting "The Godfather" trilogy here, but good God, this series is mostly unwatchable. Of course John Carpenter's "Halloween" is impeccable in every way, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a fun little movie if fans are ready to admit that, and that "Halloween H20: Halloween 20 Years Later" is the 2nd best movie to feature Michael Myers. I just think that the rest of the movies are either soporific or extremely dull, possibly sans "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers". I mean that sounds kind of funny how I listed 4 movies that were either decent or pretty well-done, but let's look at the rest of this franchise:
Halloween II? I'm not talking about Rob Zombie's godawful sequel, I'm talking about the 1981 version. EVERYONE raves and praises this movie to their grave, and I seriously cannot for the life of me wonder why this is regarded as such a great sequel. For one, all of the characters aside from Jamie Lee Curtie and Donald Pleasence are just awful. I thought that the pacing was laborious as hell, especially the first 50 or 60 minutes of this movie. And I just could not take this movie seriously. All attempts at suspense just fail for me and even the nudity just feels gratuitous in this movie. Halloween 5? The worst acting and dialogue awards go to this movie. It's like they didn't even try here. And again, I expected middle-of-the-road performances. Took me out of the movie. I won't even bother talking about "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers", "Resurrection", Rob Zombie's "Halloween" or "Halloween II", but this is just not a good series.
Again, since this box set sounds so good and so tempting, I really wanted to like this franchise, but I just cannot.

^LOL> I agree.
There's going to be some serious torrenting of the H6 Producer's Cut if this thing is region-locked and it's not available outside of Region A.
Oh, and that distressed artwork for the box set is horrible. In the old days, things actually wore out all by themselves, they didn't need 'cool' designer damage.

It's a shame the artwork for the 15-disc set is so bad in comparison to the artwork for the 10-disc set.

i imagine if that does happen, it won't be anytime soon as they're using that as a major push for this collection.

from what i've been reading lately, thats a scene from the producer's cut of 6 and since its included, we shall definitely see the scene.
very cool packaging, and i love the worn out look of the 10 disc edition. though i'm definitely getting the 15 disc one!!

My mistake it is indeed 6 that has the producer's cut, which version is considered "canon" as the changes I have read about seem fairly drastic in places.
Also, given that this set is a collaboration between different companies how will this affect region locking as so far there seems to be no UK announcement.

My article also lists the producer's cut of 6.
I wouldn't class myself as a fan but I do own the several versions of the original movie plus the Rob Zombie sequels. It's expensive but I'll I think I'll splash out on this. Halloween stuff can become very collectable.
I think u mean the producers cut of Halloween 6. Here are tons of changes. I had the dvd years ago that was horrible quality. You can check movie-censorship.com and they list changes to movies. I don't need this set. I like a lot of these films, but the rob zombie ones are terrible and many of the sequels are pretty lousy.
The Amazon listing states that the deluxe set has the "producer's cut" of Halloween 5, wonder what the Differences are...?

definitely amazing, while the Friday set surprised me it was only 2 companies so it didn't seem impossible. but with 4 or 5 companies owning the Halloween movies, i honestly believe something like this would never happen....well least not in north america!
