Halloween 2 Disc R2- Worth Getting?

[Thomasd]

I am considering getting it for free in MVC with gift vouchers. But before I do- is it any good and are the extras any good?

The extras aren't that good to be honest, a good documentary and some other minor ones. You do ge the TV version. The film is a cracker anyway so I'd buy it, post haste :D

I'm not buying it though- I'm getting it for free!
Woo-ha-ha!

It's worth getting just for the transfer, which has about as good a picture as I've ever seen sourced from a 23-year-old film. I'm more than familiar with <I>Halloween</I>, having seen it many times since the early 1980s, and it was a revelation even to me!

I always understood that you did - but from reading the box cover I'm like http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/images/icons/nixweiss[1].gif

Yes you do indeed. On the 2nd disk with the option of watching it in anamorphic 2.35:1 or (gasp!) P&S.

But as I understand it (I haven't watched it all yet), it is the TV version but with the bits they missed out, left in (er, if you know what I mean).

To be frank, on first viewing, the extra minutes, filmed by Carpenter, look little more than what they are, 'padding'. The downside is that the TV+ version (because that it what it is) doesn't have the extraordinarily good 5.1 soundtrack of the original cut.

Excellent movie, and a good DVD from Anchor Bay.
