 Fullcast and Credits for Halloween

 His name is Michael Myers. When he was a young boy. He killed his sister. Michael was sentenced to a sanitarium. On October 30th 1978 Michael now 21 years old breaks out of the sanitarium and headed for the small town of Haddonfield Ill. And Halloween is the night he comes home. Anchor Bay has done a excellent job with Halloween. It's got a awesome picture with great surround sound. A handful of extras making this one of my favorite blu ray's. I strongly suggest that you check this out.

How Does It Look And Sound?

The Video : This blu ray release of Halloween is presented in Video codec: MPEG-4 AVC, Video resolution: 1080p. The picture is crisp and clear. Even in the dark scenes it looks good. My suggestion watch this in the dark for the "scare effect".

The Audio : This disc is recorded in English: PCM 5.1 (48kHz, 16-bit). Halloween has a wonderful soundtrack. Most of the sound comes from the front and center speakers. The rear and sub woofer kicks in nicely. When you hear Micahel breathing you can hear it come on all the speakers making it sound creepy.

The Features

Aspect Ratio 2:35.1

 The only worthwhile bonus feature included on the Blu-ray disc is audio commentary with John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis and producer Debra Hill. The others are mostly throwaways, though they may provide the occasional tidbit for die-hard fans: Fast Film Facts, A Cut Above the Rest Featurette, Trailer, TV Spots and Radio Spots.

Final Thoughts

This is a must for any Halloween fan. Halloween never looked or sounded better. I am disappointed in the features or lack of. They could have done a lot more with it. But didn't. Hopefully Anchor Bay will release another edition down the road. If your a die hard fan of this movie. Thien add it to your blu ray. Other wise this makes a excellent renter. Below is how I rate the movie. 1 - 5 with 5 being the highest.
