The Hocus Pocus 4k is on sale on Amazon right now at $14. Shipping may take longer, but that's the best price I've seen it.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 40th Anniversary steelbook is $12 on Amazon.

It's the 4k remaster, which looks amazing, but it's on blu-ray.

I still want a complete set for TCM, but the eight are all over the place. I’d settle for a 4K of TCM2. Hell, I’ll take any decent re release of TCM2.

I would assume it's getting a 4k sometime soon. The Shout blu-ray has been OOP for a few months now and I haven't seen anyone post about a new one.

I'm surprised the original hasn't had a US 4k UHD, since the 4k remaster has been around for at least two years now.

An update from Shout! on the Halloween UHD's

quote:


As promised, here is an update on your Halloween order. As we monitor the shipping process, we will continue to send regular updates.


When we were first planning for these releases, we had hoped that supply chain pressures would ease up by the late summer of this year. Reality has been somewhat less forgiving, and we've been experiencing issues shipping from China, the European Union, and Mexico to get all of the parts together for these collectible offers.


As of today, the posters for these releases have been printed, the enamel pins and all of the 4K UHDs have arrived, and we have most of the 7" vinyl items in our warehouse. The two pieces we are still waiting on are all of the 7" vinyl for the original Halloween and 1,500 units of the black vinyl slipcase for Halloween II. This delay has kept us from being able to ship the most popular of the Halloween offers, and for that we do apologize. We expect 80% of all Halloween orders to ship by the end of this week, and if your order is among those that will not be shipped this week, we will send you an additional update by Friday.


The outstanding 7" vinyl for the original Halloween has cleared customs and we are waiting for clearance to pick it up. Once we get clearance, our warehouse has a truck ready to drive to the terminal, pick up the goods, and bring them back so we can start shipping orders with this vinyl immediately. We are still waiting for more information from the manufacturer about the outstanding vinyl slipcases for Halloween II and will update you as soon as we know more.


Orders for ONLY the 4K UHD and poster have now begun to ship. You will begin to see confirmation emails with USPS tracking information for these orders as soon as today, and we expect them to be fully shipped before the end of this week. If you've ordered either of the deluxe bundles containing all five Halloween films, please note that these will be shipped via UPS with a 2-6 day delivery window in the United States.


The good news is that everything has turned out even better than we expected when it comes to the pins, the vinyl, and the embossed slipcases featuring our newly commissioned artwork. We're also delighted by the picture quality of our new 4K transfers for all five of the films, and we hope you'll enjoy them as well.


Lastly, some customers have noted that certain Best Buy locations had Halloween out on store shelves as early as last week. We believe that the revised street date of October 5th was not properly communicated to every location and for that we are sorry. If you have or would like to purchase the product at Best Buy rather than through our site, please reach out to our customer service department and they will do their best to assist you in cancelling your order.


Again, we apologize for the delay and are working tirelessly to get you your order!


Regards,

Shout! Factory

It's a bit surprising, since I've seen posts of people finding them put out early by Best Buy and stuff.

The Best Buy thing is just totally random though, it's just luck of the draw. The store that's closest to me doesn't have any of them in stock except for the first film.

I ordered the Halloween and Halloween 3 UHDs from Amazon and got a delivery estimate email from them earlier this morning that said they should be coming between the 14th and the 24th, so before Halloween, thankfully.

I'm skeptical as shipping to Australia was only 7 bucks and they said it's to be delivered by the 18th of October

Still, I guess we're just in the wait and see territory now.

Here's a comparison of the old Halloween 4k UHD and the new one.

https://twitter.com/HighDefDiscNews/status/1445713142600794129?s=20

Looking through them, the new one is slightly more colorful, and slightly more Autumnal? (When I watched the original 4K, the greens and warm tones made it noticeably summer in a few of the neighborhood scenes.)

I’m excited. Halloween and Halloween 3 are coming today, and my copy of 2 looks really good. Picked that up at a local BBY over the weekend. Packaging is great, sturdy slipcase. Aside from the parts of the original movie, the picture quality was really nice. UHDs can really nail that cinematic feel.

Yea I saw the Halloween UHD at Best Buy yesterday and I was pretty impressed with the packaging. Sturdy is the right word to use, it felt very solid and sturdy compared to most slipcases.

It was definitely me when I bought the Backdraft UHD. It's like, an ok movie, really nothing that special but I was like ohhhhh think of all those HDR flames and explosions.....

And I was right, the Backdraft UHD is great eye candy.

New Halloween looks great. As Franchescanado mentioned, way more autumnal and… not muted but the first scenes w Laurie in the morning come off as more overcast. I know exactly what you mean by the previous version looking like a summer scene.

This is really not helpful because I know there's copies currently sitting on the shelf at the Best Buy down the street and I really didn't want to spend $25 on a movie I already own on UHD(and blu ray, and DVD). That's like, a new level, double dipping on UHDs.

I'm doing it, because it's Halloween, and for me it's such a personal favorite that I want to have it. The screenshots I posted earlier today sealed the deal for me. Plus, I can give my old 4k UHD to a friend and help out their 4k collection.

I'm gonna do a full run through the entire series, leading up to the release of Halloween Kills next week.

Edit: had a dicey moment when I opened the package and I could hear that one of the Halloween 4 discs had come loose and was bouncing around inside the case. Luckily it turned out to be the standard blu ray and not the UHD.
