Title

Halloween

Two versions of this film are available in Region 1: a stock-standard version, and a Special Edition, both of which were released by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The stock-standard version has all the same features as our version, but features a poor-quality video transfer. There is also a Limited Edition available for US $44.98 (about ninety dollars in Australian pesos) that contains everything on the Special Edition plus an alternate edit of the film that was shown on network television.

Compared to the Region 1 Special Edition, the Region 4 version misses out on;

Dolby Digital 5.1 remix
RSDL Formatting
Original monaural soundtrack
Illustrated filmographies
Genre guide by John McCarthy

According to Widescreen Review, the 5.1 remix is a real treat for hardcore fans of the film, and the picture is pleasantly clean save for some fine film grain and minor artefacts. Given that there is little to no film grain present in our local version, I'd have to say that I'd consider investing in both versions of the film, as any major fan of this film would. However, the ravings about the 5.1 remix on Widescreen Review lead me to believe that Region 1 is noticeably ahead with this film.
