To anyone that purchasd Halloween on Blu ray. Aside from an improved picture were there any special features, extra footage, etc? Thanks.
•Audio Commentary: Writer/Director John Carpenter and Actor Jamie Lee Curtis sit down for a track newly recorded for this release. They offer plenty of minor anecdotal observations but also provide some greater in-depth insight into the technical aspects of the shoot. Discussions include secrets behind the wardrobe and hair, thoughts on modern Horror and what sets Halloween apart, the picture's contrast between reality and lurking terror, Carpenter's directorial style, casting and the cast's contributions, life after the film, and plenty more. Curtis is particularly enthusiastic in her look at the film in hindsight and observing its brilliant structure. Unfortunately, there's no discussion of the remastered Blu-ray.
•The Night She Came Home!! (HD, 59:43): Jamie Lee Curtis discusses the "monetization" of Halloween for charity. This film follows Curtis in November 2012 (at one point the date is listed as November 2013...hooray for the invention of time travel!) as she meets fans, schmoozes with franchise cast and crew, signs memorabilia, snaps photos with attendees, and addresses the audience. There's also plenty of fan interview snippets. This is a wonderful piece; Curtis comes across as amiable and sincere.
•On Location: 25 Years Later (SD, 10:25): A visit to the South Pasadena neighborhood years after the shoot, including a look at the restored Myers house. The piece also features discussions of the requirements of the film's shooting locales, the actors' presences on set, Carpenter's filmmaking style, character dynamics, and making use of location dynamics.
•TV Version Footage (HD, 10:46): A collection of scenes that played in the film's television cut.
•Trailer (HD, 2:42).
•TV Spots (SD): A trio of television advertisements for the film. The first two run thirty-two seconds each, while the final spot runs a mere twelve seconds.
•Radio Spots (HD): Each spot plays over a Halloween graphic and run twenty-nine, twenty-seven, and twenty-eight seconds, respectively.
Awesome list.
