Anchor Bay has revealed early details on Halloween: The 30th Anniversary Commemorative Set. DVD Active reports that the 6-disc package will include the original 1978 film, the extended edition which has been out of print for several years, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, a Halloween 25 Years of Terror documentary with cast and crew, and a bonus Blu-ray release of Halloween. On top of all that, the collectible set will include a replica of the Michael Myers mask. Retail will be $89.97.
cool, but it's basically a bunch of stuff we already have all packaged together... nothing new except for the extended edition, which would be neat to have, but not worth the 89 bucks slapped on it.
AWESOME! ive had my fingers (and toes)crossed that carpenters film would get special treatment for its 30th - this surpasses all my expectations. should cost around 50 quid in pounds sterling and that sounds like a bargain to me! nice one Anchor Bay!

I'm glad they are rleasing a 30 years DVD but why not put it like this: Halloween (EXTENDED EDITION), Halloween 2 (EXTENDED EDITION, which would have all the TV scenes added to it), Halloween 4 (DIRECTORS CUT), & Halloween 5 (DIRECTORS CUT), plus a special edition DVD combining Halloween & Halloween 2 together (EXTENDED EDITIONS) making it one long movie, plus the Michael Mask. Just my opinion but I would buy that for $90.00 WA before I would this that is coming out.
I'm not sure about that mask. I'm sure most of you know this; the mask in the movies is a Captain Kirk mask painted white with the hair fucked up. Which shows you how really creepy William Shatner was.
i agree with brandonsl21
make it worth the money... plus it sucks having to watch part 2 on TV to see the extra stuff... damn this commercial world we live in...
I agree with Scurgar, where's Halloween II. That's my second favorite behind the original. The only thing I would do with that mask is add it to my wall o' horror in my home. I'd hang it right next to my autographed picture of Robert Shaw. Maybe they're waiting till' 2011 for the 30th anniversary of Halloween II. I'm sure there will be a special package for that one. They're gonna bleed every drop they can out of these films. The same with Star Wars. I'm sure Lucas has gotten tons of x-tra stuff already finished, but will wait and release a new edition for every new scene or effect he's done. He'll continue to make millions for years to come. I wish that Universal would go ahead and release The Shark is Still Working. Jaws fans like myself have been chomping at the bit for it. It's a three hour long doc made by fans, for the fans. Can't wait!!!! "We've got one barrel on em', so we'll stay out here till' we find him again"----Quint.
I'm not interested in this at all. I've already got everything that you get in this set except for the Mask and the Blu-Ray disc but I dont have a blu-ray player so it does me no good..lol! Also the mask is cheaply constructed for this set if you ask me. If I really wanted the mask I could go online and buy the actual good version with the wig hair that you can feel not a plastic one. This set is a complete ripoff..NO SALE!
that's pretty bad ass, since i dont have but part I,II,III on dvd, i could use parts 4 & 5, ill get the first again but oh well that one is still the best and i want my replica myers mask!!!
sweet wonder how much it will cost unless i didnt read it all the way...cool i only have halloween and i think either four or five on dvd. i could always give away the dub. or something. cool....wait ther isnt going to be the haloween 2 or 3??? ok check that what all i have typed. if it only includes one, four, and five and a special disc of the cast and crew and also the blue ray which i dont even have then idk if it is even worth buying now.
to anyone that is wondering where halloween 2,3,6 etc. they aren't owned by anchor bay. anchor bay only has rights to 1,4, and 5.
the chances of a complete halloween boxset in the US aren't good
How can they call the shitty mask a replica when it's not even close to the actual thing. This set is only for people who don't already have any of the DVDs and are also willing to pay for a an extra Blue Ray, in which there is absolutely no point!
WHAT-A-WASTE!
Cheap mask...Halloween 1,4 & 5 AGAIN and a lazy, slapped on "25 YEARS LATER" documentry, I thought this was the 30th anniversary???
Plus, like many consumers, I don't own the uber expensive BluRay player...making that disc totally pointless. Anchor Bay is beating a dead horse with this one...again...
Ah sioux1sk, you mucha' humor----Mr.Miyagi. As long as a few flea-ridden yeti scrotums keep buyin' this re-cycled shit, they're gonna keep pushin' it out like an endless turd!!! "I've got two girls, ages 19 & 20, both eaten to the bone"----Grizzly.
I don't understand why people are so upset. If you don't like it, or don't think it adds value, don't buy it. I don't own the extended edition, and the mask seems sort of cool. If I find it on sale I am buying it for sure...
Does anyone if the extended version is just the TV version edited for content?
