Halloween: 25 Years Of Terror: 4dvd

Product Information

The disc will play perfectly without interruption and the case, inlay notes and sleeve may show limited signs of wear. The bonus features contains many panel discussions, so if you love those, you will appreciate the second disc from this set.

The impetus is a Halloween convention held in South Pasadena (site of the original filming), from which a considerable amount of footage is drawn. I was impressed by the collection of interesting documentaries and interviews over the four discs and having a remastered copy to replace my outdated VHS copy is very satisfying. Exclusive 4DVD Version 1978, director John Carpenter changed the face of horror cinema and made movie history with Halloween, the terrifying account of psycho killer Michael Myers' horrific rampage through the small town of Haddonfield.

In between the reminiscences both positive and negative, horror heavyweights like Clive Barker and Rob Zombie weigh in on both the first film’s primal appeal and the downslide of quality and substance in its follow-ups. The camerawork here is on the amateurish side, but the discussions all hold the interest, particularly cast reunions for the first film (Soles, Cyphers and Brian Andrews, plus executive producer Joseph Wolf) and HII (Pamela Susan Shoop, Tawny Moyer, Cliff Emmich and Gloria Gifford).

A fine documentary about the franchise (the first 8 movies) and interviews with people who work on those movies. Also inevitable, here as well as during the Curse panel, are requests from fans in the audience to recite favorite lines from their respective films; a surprise arrives when Curse actress Janice Knickrehm recites an entire monologue from memory!It truly stands at the head of a long list of films that tried to copy, but ultimately didn't quite achieve the standard. For devoted fans of the Halloween series who couldn't make it to that legendary event, this is definitely the next best thing to actually having been there.

The most delightful element of this thing, however, is seeing plenty of vintage stills and 'making of' footage from the shoot, which will be of great interest to any fan.

essentially from H3 onward, in my opinion, I was nevertheless equally intrigued with the stories and info on the later films of the series, which I think speaks to the quality of the show's craft. However, those more familiar with the Halloween chronicles may find that, regrettably but inevitably, the most interesting material on view accentuates the negative. It examines why the films are so popular and revisits many of the original locations used in the films - seeing the effects on the local community. With Zombie preparing his entry for, one presumes, a 2007 release, Halloween’s legacy will obviously extend beyond 25 years (and already has, if you want to nitpick). For those of us who have been following this film series for years—the devotees to whom this package is most directly pitched—some of the two-disc set’s material covers pretty familiar ground, but there are also plenty of surprises and enough fresh material to satisfy even the most jaded Michael Myers maniac.For the casual fan or the uninitiated, it’s a thorough primer on how a simple idea from the mind of executive producer Irwin Yablans spawned an enduring horror legend (and, eventually, cash cow). Man erfährt hier einiges an Hintergrundwissen und den Eindrücken unterschiedlichster Personen die an der Reihe beteiligt waren.

The documentary does get a little bogged down at times in showing clips of the movie, but the interviews are quite wonderful to see. Yet if the rocker-turned-filmmaker makes good on his premise to reinvent the franchise, it could mean a welcome new beginning for Halloween—and if such becomes the case, there’s no better way to close the book on the original series than with this DVD package. Bestselling Author and award-winning Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza expose widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome.If they haven't already seen 'A Cut Above the Rest', they should either pick up the 25th anniversary two disc DVD release or the more recent Blu- ray to check it out; they won't be disappointed. Also quite fascinating was the coverage of fans and the activities attending the first Halloween convention in 2003.
