The Blu Ray version of Halloween has been on my shopping list for a very long time, and at long last its here, and it doesnt disappoint guys, this film is nearly 30years old, and it still holds up extremely well its chilling and has all the elements that a horror needs to put it simple this is a classic and it set a benchmark for its genre all those years ago. now onto the important matter 'The blu-ray transfer isnt perfect guys it does show signs of graininess, but if compared to the standard dvd there is big diff and to me its a small price to pay for such a classic horror film. if you own a blu-ray player then my advice to you is to snap this up.. even with its slight grainyness it still looks beautiful and a lot sharper than the standard dvd-release. this is the best version to date remember guys this is 30years old.
What's great about it: Best Version To Date!

I grew up with this film in its various incarnations on home video. And, yes, i probably own it in practically every format. But this version really packs a punch. It is really spectacular to see the crisp images from such a gritty film. You would never know this movie is now 30 years old by the Blu-ray transfer. The only element that was somewhat disappointing is that I noticed the audio dropping out occasionally, probably due to imperfections from the original mono source. Otherwise, you will find new details in this film that you never noticed before on this great hi-def version!!!

"Halloween" is a modern horror classic. To date, it has spawned seven sequels, one remake, and a host of imitations including some of the best holiday slasher fare. I was a freshman in high school when "Halloween" was released thirty years ago on an unsuspecting America. My classmates were hailing it as a great horror film; they couldn't stop talking about it. This film went down in history as one of the top grossing independent films.
Expertly directed by John Carpenter and Debra Hill (who also brought us "The Fog" - a creepy ghost story), "Halloween" shocked America with its chilling plot. What would possess a six-year-old boy from a normal, middle class family and make him stab his teenage sister to death? the devil possessed him! Fifteen years later, when the grown Michael Myers escaped from the psychiatric hospital, his psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis (horror icon Donald Pleasance of "The Flesh and the Fiends," "Raw Meat, and "Phenomena") insisted he was pure evil, and no longer a human. This would explain his ability to survive being shot, stabbed, and set on fire.
Jamie Lee Curtis (daughter of "Psycho" star Janet Leigh) made her film debut as babysitter Laurie Strode; she and her high school friends are stalked by Michael Myers on Halloween. Curtis gives an outstanding performance as the injured teen who desperately flees the maniac while pleading for help from the neighbors who turn off their front porch lights. She quickly realizes there really is a Boogeyman.
Granted, ""Halloween" is not a gory, high body count slasher flick. However, it does have nail-biting suspense, memorable theme music (on a par with "Jaws" and "Friday the 13th"), and history making originality. "Halloween" proved that monsters are still real. They can be the boy next door - the one who killed his sister.
It is a delight to watch the beautiful P. J. Soles when she plays her usual role as a mischievous, free-spirited girl. She was a tom boy in "Carrie" and a cheerleader in "Halloween."
If you haven't seen the original film "Halloween," you're in for one of the best Halloween treats in history. I envy you!
What's great about it: Unbeatable price only $10 bucks
What's not so great: I don't know you tell me! j/k

It's a real testament to the skills behind the camera that this now over-familiar, much imitated seminal psycho killer on the loose movie still manages to scare the Bejesus out of you. But that's why 'Halloween' is the granddaddy of these kind of movies - spare, lean, intense, surprisingly subtle and remarkably atmospheric. Carpenter takes his time setting the scene so when the night falls, we're in for one of the most frightening film experiences you could possibly imagine. The film has never looked better on Blu-ray - beautifully crisp - and the 5.1 surround sound mix is stunning.
What's great about it: Take it from me the picture and sound is breathtaking
What's not so great: You won't be disappointed

Great Movie classic

from Oak Creek, WI
If you own this on DVD, it is worth getting the Blu Ray copy if your a true fan of the movie. It is way more bright and crisp, it felt like i was seeing some scenes for the first time it look so vivid. Worth owning for sure.
What's great about it: One of, if not the best horror movie ever, Blu Ray quality is worth the purchase.
What's not so great: Surround sound still lacks

Great commentary & other influences that made this movie so powerful. The commentary alone makes this worth watching. I've seen the movie many times, but the commentary was the cherry on top!! Who knew the house had been cleaned up for the opening sequence, but was in disrepair for the rest of the movie?? See this!
What's great about it: Great Picture
What's not so great: Extras

This low budget story of a crazed slasher out to get Laurie started a new trend in film making with some of the first use of steady cam (to offer us the perspective from the eyes of Michael Myers the stalker). This was the highest box office smash in the world of horror at the point the movie was original released, no surprise that it launched Jamie Lee Curtis onto bigger things in Hollywood. A must have movie for any fan of horror.
"Halloween" gets the royal treatment on Bluray with this very satisfying HD transfer. The 1080p HD master reveals unprecendented detail and repairs many of the "soft" apearing scenes with incredible detail and clarity. The colors pop and some shots even have a 3D presence such as those where Laurie is walking home from school surrounded by the tress lining the streets and the bright orange leaves on the ground. The sound is mixed in an Uncompressed PCM 5.1 with a Dolby Digital 5.1. While the film will never sound like "Terminator Salvation', it offers crystal clear ambient and rear channel effects, crisp dialogue, and the classic music theme has never sounded better or more chlling. This one is priced to own, and a must for fans!
What's great about it: Stunning HD transfer.
What's not so great: Sad to say Extras

best horror film of all time,
on August 17, 2010
Posted by: Anonymous
from Kansas,MO
As a fan I normally do not click all five stars. Here I do with great satisfaction! This is most likely one of the top 5 horror films of all time. John Carpenter struck gold on this. We watch it every Halloween, and it still gets us and always makes you look around for Michael and that mask! Buy this, Rent This, but see it for sure. It is the best!
What's great about it: legendary Film
What's not so great: Flawless :)
