Rob Zombie's Halloween: 3 Disc Collectors Set on October 21, 2008

[SkyNet]

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/12726

Fangoria got word this afternoon that Dimension Extreme has planned an October 21 release for a Three-Disc Collector’s Edition for Rob Zombie’s Halloween, which will contain Zombie’s all-new four-and-a-half-hour documentary about the making of the film. No other details have been revealed. After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.

4 and a half hour making of? i'm all for that!

plus, chances are this will have that "WorkPrint" edition that some people saw prior to the theatrical release, which was supposedly awesome as shit!

[NathanRomano]

If it has the work print, I'll get it

[muttly69]

sweetness

[airik625]

I'm quite fine with my 2-Disc unrated edition.

[bourahioro]

.....I need this!

[APzombie]

such a waste. The film was terrible.

[Cronos]

I knew holding off getting the current release would pay off, definitely be picking this up. Hopefully the workprint might be included, would be great to have a good copy of that.

[Mikey2Dope]

I'll buy this if it includes the Rated and Workprint editions. That documentary sounds badass.

[airik625]

What is this 'workprint' everyone is talking about?

[muttly69]

What is this 'workprint' everyone is talking about?

Workprint is a copy of a movie that is usually unfinished. A workprint may not have some of the special effects on the video stream or sound effects.:cool:

Oh okay, got it. thanks.

[cocksmokinclerk]

i think zombie is pretty badass and i really enjoyed the new halloween, so i'm for sure gonna get this

[#1dvdfan]

I like this new version of this horror classic but this film can't even hold a candle to the original NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!! I own the UNRATED VERION and the workprint that was online. I will double dip for the doc.

[bubutthead]

ill probably get this

[Brendan M.]

What was the difference between the workprint and the Unrated DVD?

[Raimo69]

The ending was different and i think some other things were different not sure what they were.

[bdubprod]

I dont own this yet, so I'll probably get it. was an okay remake

[Grn_Str_Movies]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That Means I Have To Double Dip!

[NathanRomano]

Why don't we get a super special edition of the original? I have the 25 Year anniversary one, but I want a huge box set with a huge book and like 3 or 4 discs

[Grn_Str_Movies]

Why don't we get a super special edition of the original? I have the 25 Year anniversary one, but I want a huge box set with a huge book and like 3 or 4 discs

I WOULD LIKE THAT
but it would mean
I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE DIP!

[ScaryFreak1827]

I only have the Rated version (blushes strawberry shortcake pink:o) I'll definetly hit this up when it comes out.

[TheJadedGamer]

Ugh. Probably won't double dip, but it pisses me off the this is getting a 3-Disc while Grindhouse is still split up into two seperate fucking films.

Come on now, Weinsteins. Stop being douches.

[Dragula]

Double dip for me

[WyckedDreamz]

I saw the workprint, the theatrical release, and got the 2 disc unrated directors cut. The 2 disc cut is a combo of the workprint and the theatrical. the Unrated cut on DVD has the workrpint escape scene, and I think it has the ending. There is also an extra alternate ending diff from the workprint and the theatrical release on disc 2

Which one of the three do you think was the better movie?

[LordSimen]

I'm probably gonna get this. I want to watch that doc. :)

[MisterTwister]

I thought the Unrated Director's Cut was the best version of the film. Better than the theatrical cut and much better than the workprint.

I LOAHE the workprint's ending. I much prefer the theatrical/unrated ending.

[zzz179]

Here it is
I'm geting it soon

I cant wait!... I will be adding it to this:

[scottmushroom]

I guess I am in the minority on this one since I preferred the theatrical version.


Oh and Xage, you have proven yet again to me that you are crazy about DVDs! I do find it odd that you don't have the theatrical at all though....I figured you would get every version!

[Grn_Str_Movies]

xage what is with the blockbuster exclusive? I remember seeing this but never got my hands on it.

[Dragula]

I cant wait!... I will be adding it to this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/h_unrated.jpg

Xage your good at 2 things..

1. Having too many copies of movies
2. Being too badass for having too many copies of movies.

Rock on man!

[SkyNet]

were the exclusives anything worth while??

Okay, now that looks badass. Might be worth double dipping for. It just really depends on the price.

[NathanRomano]

Does anybody know if it'll have the workprint?

[mutesaint]

So...to ask the stupid question. I notice thats the .de site and after checking the American amazon I didn't find it. Is this in fact a region one release? If not I will be annoyed.

[darknite125]

What a waste that movie was awful. Only a hack like Zombie (hack filmmaker that is, still love his music) could make Michael Meyers NOT scary. If anything put out a 3 disc version of the original.

[Cop No. 633]

I guess it'll be a Brown turd, a Black turd, and a Green turd. Either way you slice and dice it, it's still a steaming pile.

[JimmyLuke]

I bet, u bought the autographed dvd for $200 in ebay

I cant wait!... I will be adding it to this:

That comma really didn't fit there JL. And no one will listen to what you say if u tlk lke dis, k////

[NathanRomano]

And even if he did. Why in blue fuck does it matter? That's his 200 Dollars he can do what ever he wants with it

[xage]

I bet, u bought the autographed dvd for $200 in ebay

How much you bet?

I bought it from Hottopic for $24.99

[scottmushroom]

i imagine him going out at this hour to try to buy a copy and then say he forgot to post it in his picture.
That would be amusing. I have a strange feeling that it isn't in the picture only because that picture is for his Halloween Unrated Director's Cut collection.:D

[#1dvdfan]

2. Being too badass for having too many copies of movies.

Rock on man!


Yep xage is badass!!! We both have the same passion for collecting mutiple copies of movies (SAW franchise, CLOVERFIELD, ect). I have to admit xage surpasses me he is always one step ahead of me. I never knew there was a hot topic signed copy.

DAMN YOU XAGE!!!!!!!!!!! joking.:D

On the 3 disc set that package art is awsome!!! I will pick it up just cause it looks badass!!!!:D

[#1dvdfan]

And even if he did. Why in blue fuck does it matter? That's his 200 Dollars he can do what ever he wants with it

yes, I agree. Im the same why If i want to spend 200 dollars on a dvd cause it's rare it's my money I can do what ever the hell I want.

I did spend 177 dollars on a dvd THE KILLER - CRITERION (John Woo). Call me crazy but I wanted it so badly.:D

[SkyNet]

i have a feeling thats not regions 1 3 disc set.
the fact that halloween is written on the spine backwards
makes me think even more.

[mutesaint]

Ooooooh we better be getting this here. Im tired of seeing all this cool shit overseas and it never hitting the states. I want that doc. I want that packaging.

[Grn_Str_Movies]

Ooooooh we better be getting this here. Im tired of seeing all this cool shit overseas and it never hitting the states. I want that doc. I want that packaging.

Hopefully We get that,

but i know for a fact that the set belongs to region 2.

as posted before heres the link

http://www.amazon.de/Halloween-Unrated-Disc-Limited-Box/dp/B0012OVE30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1214782336&sr=8-1

look under product information
and youll see it says region 2

and then the fact that it says amazon.de

we know items from region 1 are sold on amazon.com


but i do hope we get the exact same packaging here.

there still hope.

[SkyNet]

ya... all i did was go to the link that was provided and post the pictures listed there, in this thread, so that not everyone had to click the link.

But since this is being released in all regions, i would assume the R1 version wouldnt differ much, but that is of course, just an assumption!

[Shockwave]

NOW WITH EVEN MORE SHIT THEN EVER BEFORE!

[SkyNet]

Than**

[airik625]

Still trying to decide if i want this or not. I'm not sure what I would do with my other copy if I got this.

[Sigur509]

It will skull-fuck you with special features.

[Dragula]

Once I can get my hands on the 3 disc i'll sell my crappy unrated 2 disc on the buy sell and trade thread :D

[SAI]

plus, chances are this will have that "WorkPrint" edition that some people saw prior to the theatrical release, which was supposedly awesome as shit!

'awesome as shit' isn't how I'd have put it, it's close though, 'Awesomely shit' is closer to what the workprint is actually like.

A four and a half hour doc... Jesus, hopefully at least half of it is Zombie begging John Carpenter's forgivness.

[sarah1980]

question about the special features

does anyone know if the 2disc blu-ray will have the 4 hr doucmentary on it, i've tried acouple of sites but they don't say

[MidnightAngel]

Fuck the 3 disc collector's set. I'd rather stick withe the original Halloween by John Carpenter. :cool:

[bourahioro]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51yehpZfx7L._SS500_.jpg
More of a supercharged revamp than a remake, Rob Zombie's take on John Carpenter's Halloween expands the back story of masked killer Michael Myers in an attempt to examine the motivation for his first deadly attack, as well as some reasons for his longevity as a horror icon. Zombie's Myers is a blank-eyed teen (played by Daeg Faerch) whose burgeoning mental problems are left unchecked in a horrific home environment; harassed by schoolmates, a randy sister, and his mother's deadbeat boyfriend (William Forsythe, terrific as usual), Myers' homicidal explosion seems inevitable, and intervention by Dr. Sam Loomis (Malcolm McDowell, who offers a fast-talking, hippiefied version of the Donald Pleasance character) does little to impede his development into a mute, unstoppable killing machine (Tyler Mane) bent on finishing off the only survivor of his family's massacre--his sister, now grown into teenaged Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton). Opening up the psychological motivation of a cipher like Michael Myers is an interesting approach, but Zombie's script possesses neither a depth of character nor dialogue to offer more than a clichéd thumbnail character sketch, and devoting over a hour of the unrated cut's 120-minute-plus running time to this history feels bloated and self-indulgent (especially when compared to the lean efficiency of the Carpenter original). Zombie's Halloween isn't terribly suspenseful, either; he has a keen eye for visuals and the details of chaotic environments, but his scares are nothing more than brutal showcases for his special effects team. The end result barely surpasses the original film's numerous sequels, though the Who's Who of cult and character actors in the cast (including Zombie regulars Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Ken Foree, as well as Brad Dourif, Udo Kier, Clint Howard, Richard Lynch, Danny Trejo, Dee Wallace, and Danielle Harris) adds a touch of late-night monster movie charm. However, the film's best performance belongs to the director's spouse, Sheri Moon Zombie, who brings unexpected pathos to the role of Myers' downtrodden mother.
The two-disc Unrated Director's Cut offers a full disc's worth of extras that should please Zombie fans; chief among the supplemental features is his commentary, which details the film's shooting history and the numerous edits required to deliver the theatrical version. A making-of featurette offers further details of Zombie's vision for the film, and there are featurettes on his cast choices and the many masks that Myers makes while incarcerated. Seventeen deleted scenes (two of which feature Adrienne Barbeau and Tom Towles) and an alternate ending (all with Zombie's commentary) are also provided, as well as footage from the casting sessions. A blooper reel, which is highlighted by unchecked mischief by McDowell and Dourif, offers the set's sole moment of levity. -- Paul Gaita

Product Description
Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects), "modern American horror's most eccentric and surprising filmmaker," (Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times) reinvents the ultimate slasher classic, unleashing Michael Myers for a bloody rollercoaster of a rampage like fans have never seen. Including a retelling of the original story that unfolds at a breakneck pace, as well as a chilling new introduction that finally reveals the secrets behind Myers' disturbing childhood, Halloween breathes new life into one of film history's most terrifying tales. "It will leave you speechless" (Spooky Dan, Bloody-Disgusting). Disc One: Feature Commentary By Writer/Director Rob Zombie. Disc Two: Alternate Ending, Deleted Scenes With Optional Director's Commentary, Bloopers, The Many Masks Of Michael Myers, Re-Imagining Halloween, Meet The Cast, Casting Sessions and More. Disc Three: 4 1/2 hour documentary Michael Lives: The Making of Halloween

[TheMovieManiac]

[jbar1026]

[NuclearMisfit]

Why don't we get a super special edition of the original? I have the 25 Year anniversary one, but I want a huge box set with a huge book and like 3 or 4 discs

I wish there was a box set out there thats in the US because the 30th Anniversary Set only has 3 movies in it

[blknge89]

[LordSimen]

Can't wait for that 4 hour making of. That's going to be freakin' awesome! :D

[#1dvdfan]

I went to my local BB and they had the 3 disc dvd. and it looks like the same exact 2 disc UNRATED dvd but with an added bonus disc of a 4 hour documentary. Am I right?

I can't find anything on the set here in the US. I only found the set with the mask. When will it be available?

any help?

[SkyNet]

did anyone pick up the new set??

im just wondering if the 4 and a half documentary is awesome or not??

i already own the 2 disc set from its original release.. but that 4 and a half hour Documentary is fucking enticing!

and the set runs the standard price (labeled 19.99 at best buy)... so if the documentary is recommended by any of you, i may just buy the thing, since the set isnt breaking the bank!

Thanks

I didn't buy the 3 disc set cause I was waiting for this on BD. it came out a week after the DVD release but had no cash so I will pick it up ASAP. I really want to dig into the doc.

[LordSimen]

The doc is great. Goes through the entire preproduction and shooting process.

[TheMovieManiac]

just picked up the blu-ray today its on sale at best buy for 14.99
disc one
unrated director's cut
deleted scenes
alternate ending
bloopers
ect.

disc two
michael lives 41/2 hour documentary

[bourahioro]

I got it too - I'm a fan of Zombie's movies, and I was extremely happy with Halloween. This set is awesome, and truth be told, the 4 and a half hour doc is worth the price of the set alone.

[SkyNet]

i got lucky.. a buddy of mine bought the new set... and he isnt a behind the scenes type of dude.. so he gave me the disc with the 4 and a half hour documentary.

Havnt watched it yet.. but will soon.
