Why? This movie is soooooo bad..
I'm a huge fan of Rob and everything he does. Loved House of 1000 Corpses, loved Devil's Rejects. This...was decent. I'd say it's definitely his worst movie so far. It kept me entertained throughout, but it just wasn't anywhere as strong as I thought it would be. With that being said, I'll still pick up this 3-disc set because I'm very interested to see the 4 hour documentary. I loved the one that was included with Devil's Rejects.
seriously??...not to say that it was HORRIBLE, cuz it wasn't but...come on 4 hours?!
Perhaps if people don't WANT to buy the Director's Cut again (since I bought the Director's Cut AND the original theatrical cut so I could own the deleted footage they didn't put on the unrated DVD, TWC should offer some kind of service where you send in one of the PoPs from the Unrated disc and get the documentary.
Or I guess, if the price is right, I could say "F * * k it," sell the Director's Cut at FYE and take the money from it to buy the 3-disc.

This movie is the one thing a horror movie should never be boring. There is not one thing in this movie that is the least bit scary other than the acting.
Eh, I got the beetchin' Best Buy exclusive 3D cover, I don't know if a documentary I'll probably never watch is enough to win me over for a double dip.....and the artwork looks boring as hell.
Will buy it for the doc, hated the film
I already have the 2-Disc Director's Cut Edition...I would never have the time to watch a 4 hour docum. anyways...so I won't be picking this up
Genius/Weinstein, stop wasting our time and hurry the hell up and release Halloween on Blu-ray! I'm sick of the runaround here!
I knew I should've bought the theatrical cut when I bought the 2-Disc. I hate the unrated -- the rape scene is god-awful, and I really don't need to own two copies of the unrated... but I'm interested in the documentary. If they have it to rent, I'll do that rather than buy it again. I do like that artwork, though.
Well I don't own the 2-disc editions so I guess this would be perfect... but I haven't seen the film and don't plan to.
Got to get this & sell or give away my unrated version!!!
That cover is creepy :/
I doubt I'll get that anywhere near its release, but I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up owning it eventually. I saw the bootlegged internet version only, and that one wasn't that bad, other than some unnecessary hardcore music in one or two scenes. And that artwork is pretty cool.
I hope this gets Blu treatment.
OH F**K NO!!!
Awful cover, awful remake. Skip x 10000000.
I'll get rid of my unrated version and replace it with this. Not a great movie by far, but not a horrible one either. Rob just chose a weird approach, and went into it too strong. Love "30 Days In Hell", and glad he's at least doing proper documentaries - then we'll see where it went right and where it went wrong.
4 and a half documentary?! It better be good since I already own the two disc.
wow rob zombie knows how to lay on the extras. first that awesome docco on Devils Rejects, and how a 4 1/2 hour docco on Halloween!? wow.
Cool, only imagine if Carpenter's classic looked like this back in 1978...now only if we can get a R1 Producers cut of part 6.
On his MySpace page, Rob Zombie revealed that his 2007 remake of the horror classic 'Halloween' will be released for Blu-ray on October 21st, day-and-date with a new DVD release. No technical features have been announced at this time, though the famed filmmaker/singer did reveal that it would be a 3-disc set and would include a new documentary on the making of the film called "Michael Lives" which clocks in at over four hours.
No additional special features have been announced, but being that the release will be spread over three discs, it seems likely that all the extras from the two-disc DVD set will also be included.

Happy, guys?
PS: I guess the release has moved up two weeks since this is supposedly a "day and date" Blu-ray release. By the way, this was announced a while ago.

i dont know about this... i may own it, i may not... depends
Will this include the Theatrical Cut (was quite disappointed when the first time around on DVD you could only get the T-Cut in Fool Screen.)
you know i thought Rob Zombie was a fan of Halloween and I was so excited to see what he had to bring to the table.
he sure tricked the f**k out of me.

awful film, essentially mocks the thought of remaking the original in it's fleeting attempt to be anything other than complete and utter drivel. Created an absurd mythology for this "boogeyman" to follow and reused the whole Laurie is my sister foundational flaw established by John Carpenter as writer during a drunken night whilst working on "Halloween II". Too bad. The original is still near perfect still.
Why?
I don't mind long making of documentaries as long as they stay true to covering every aspect of the making of the movie. The best ones that I saw were from the Lord of the Rings extended editions.
As for Zombie making a 4 1/2 hour documentary on Halloween, it sounds really intriguing. I may want to hear a review on the documentary 1st.

No matter what the apologists say, this was a really bad, really terrible, ridiculously awful movie. Remake or not.
