Summary: Criterion Please!!!
Review: I really want to purchase one ultimate version of this movie but they just won't give it to us. The Criterion laser disc has one of the best running commentaries that I've heard and I will not recommend any DVD until it includes all that I heard on laser disc four years ago.

Summary: Micheal has come home
Review: I think any version of Halloween is great but I have always liked the television version better. This DVD is the one version I have been waiting for, although I wish it had a bunch of extras on it maybe we will get it one day right. Anyways the scenes with Loomis in the asylum talking to Micheal is a classic and I feel just heightend the story between Micheal and Loomis. All in all a classic no matter which version you like best. Now how about a Halloween 6 producers cut DVD.

Summary: 12 mins of Extra Footage! The Orginal! The Best! Halloween!
Review: In Britain we have not had a release of the Tv version, but this has finally been released in America, only previously avaliable in the 2 Disc Limited edition. With 12 mins of extra footage shot for tv, it makes the story a bit more understandable. This limited edition is the same price as the other release but has films cells from a original Halloween, I think. So it is worth buying this just for the freeby!

Summary: Its gonna be great!
Review: The Halloween TV version is way better than the movie! There are many deleted scenes like Dr. Loomis goes into Michael's room at the hopsital and he talks to him. And Lynda has one more scene before she dies, she goes to Laurie's house and they have a little girl chat. And Annie talks to Laurie on the phone. And there are many more!

Summary: Not needed extra scenes
Review: The reason I gave this two stars is: When you origanlly watch a movie and you enjoy it, then they add extra scenes to fit a time slot on T.V. it is like they tainted the first version.(in my humble opinion) That is why I rated it two stars... I am however a huge halloween fan (except for number three), watching this is still better than most horror flicks.

Summary: BEST HORROR MOVIE EVER! EVEN BETTER WITH EXTRA TV SCENES!
Review: This is the best horror movie ever and is also the best in the Halloween series. This DVD contains 4 extra scenes that were shot for television when the movie was sold to NBC. It would be neccasary to fill the 2-hour time block. The four extra scenes are are a total of twelve minutes. I have seen this movie at least twenty times, and it still scares the living daylights out of me. John Carpenter is just the right director to do the film. Debra Hill and John did a great job at writing the script and making the plot simple: On Halloween night 1963, 6-year-old Michael Myers stabbed his sister to death. 15 years later he escaped from the mental hospital to go after his sister, Laurie Strode. Only Michael's doctor, Dr. Loomis is hot on Michael's trail. I love this movie! The extra scences include; Dr. Loomis persuading two county ward workers to have Michael locked up, a seen where Dr. Loomis talks to 7-year-old Michael Myers. There is also this extra seen where two nurses show Dr. Loomis what Michael did the night he escaped. And lastly, there was a seen where Lynda came over to Laurie's house and wanted to borrow a blouse and Annie calls saying that she wants to borrow it too. It is a great movie with a great atmoshere on suspence and scary moments. The extra scenes were filmed using the crew of Halloween II. The scene where Dr. Loomis talked to Michael helped the filming of Halloween II. The boy who played Michael Myers was in Halloween II where Laurie had a flashback to where she went to see Michael in the sanitarium. I think that Halloween was the best horror movie that was ever made. There had been made six sequels after it, and Halloween 8 called Halloween: Homecoming is coming into theaters the summer of 2002. Halloween was made in 1978 which means the series has been lasting for 24 years. Halloween is a true masterpiece. Critics say that it is the most sucsessful independent film ever made. They are sure right! If you ever get the chance to rent the movie rent it, or even better buy it, and I would urge you to buy the television version with the extra scences. It is not gory or bloody or anything, just plain scary! This is the best horror movie ever made!

Summary: John Carpenter's masterpiece
Review: This is the horror movie that all others should be judged by. So believable it's scarry. Michael Myers is what jason and freddy kruger are not, realistic. And that makes this a movie you shouldn't watch alone on a dark and stormy night. What makes this version (dvd) awesome is the added footage that was [filmed] for the tv version. It's incorporated right into the story flawlessly and helps give so more background into the story. I love all of John Carpenters films, but this is in the top three of all he did. A classic. A must see. Just lock your doors and windows first!

Summary: Totally!
Review: This is the version I originally saw when I was eight years old (and just returning from trick or treating by the way! Even on TV it scared the pants off of me). Even though this film was shot in California, it looked & felt very much like my little Illinois hometown at the time, which may be part of why I still connect to the film today. Indeed, it's probably my favorite. Nostalgia aside, I still think it holds up quite brilliantly, on par with any classic Hitchcock. Now, about this DVD....as a fan of the film, I've been searching for THE definitive home video version to come out & don't believe this will be the one. The best edition I've seen over the years was a Critereon laserdisc (cir. 1995) with some fasinating commentary by John Carpenter, Debra Hill & Jamie Lee Curtis (who is at times hilarious). It also included trailers, an extensive photo gallery & production notes, as well as the "television" scenes, which could only be viewed separately. Since I only had video at the time, I had to settle for a copy from a friend (less quality of course, and a pain when dealing with the supplemental footage). An Anchor Bay DVD release from a year or two ago has a pretty interesting documentary & some radio spots but no commentary. I wouldn't mind seeing this stuff combined some day! About the "television" footage...I know it sounds strange, but Carpenter filmed most of it specifically for telelvision when he was shooting "Halloween II" around 1980 (except the PJ Soles/JL Curtis scene, I think). It is quite good, but I don't think it was filmed in the widescreen anamorphic he normally uses (even the Critereon release had it in standard format). This makes it difficult to ever edit together a "definitve" version of the film (and I've tried! It's very awkward). If this release formats it in widescreen from a standard television aspect ratio, which I guess is possible, expect to have some information missing. Hard to say whether it will be a big deal or not. Ah, but for the purists you know....
