There’s a lot of vintage Michael Myers coming this Fall thanks to a comprehensive treatment of Halloween 1-5 in 4K Ultra HD thanks to the great folks at Scream Factory.
The first five Halloween movies are all getting the 4K treatment with a bevy of extra goodies dependent upon how you want to purchase them. As an added bonus, the first Halloween is being fully restored from the original camera negative for the first time ever in 4K and on an inclusive Blu-ray, while each successive film is also remastered from its original camera negative.
As a refresher, the first five Halloween movies with direct links to pre-order them at Amazon are:
- Halloween (1978) (Collector’s Edition)
- Halloween II (1981) (Collector’s Edition)
- Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982) (Collector’s Edition)
- Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988) (Collector’s Edition)
