Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 5.0
Halloween III on Blu-ray long overdue!
Let's face it. If you're reading this, that means, like me, you too are a huge fan of the only Halloween that didn't have Michael Myers.Most of the DVD transfers I have seen have been quite sub-par. It seemed that they took full screen footage and added black bars at the top and the bottom to emulate widescreen. Also the transfer of the film itself was grainy and a little muddy at parts. It's also a no frills DVD. No real special features.The Blu-ray version changes everything.The transfer from the original source is magnificent. A fantastic restoration job. Everything is crisp and clear, even in the darker scenes. Also, the sound has had a significant bump. There are actually special features this time! You get "Stand Alone: The Making of Halloween III: Season of the Witch", which has interviews with the key cast and director. It really gives an inside look into the decisions about how the movie was made.You also get an episode of Horror's Hallowed Grounds with Sean Clark taking you to the various locations from the movie. Another great addition. You also get audio commentary with Tom Atkins and Tommy Lee Wallace.$19.99 is an amazing steal for this great Blu-ray disc. Shout! Factory has done an amazing job. I can't wait to check out their future titles like "They Live" and "Terror Train" and of course "Phantasm II".
