Anchor Bay Entertainment and Trancas International have annouced the September 24, 2013 release of the 35th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition of the cult classic Halloween. The film will be released with several fresh bonus features (including a new feature length audio commentary with diretor John Carpenter and star Jamie Lee Curtis) and will be available in a collectal book style packaging.
The film, which introduced the world to a new kind of horror, centers around Michael Myers, who as a child, butchered his sister with a kitchen knife. Committed to a mental instution where he is constantly watched over by Mr. Loomis, Michael spends 15 years planning his escape; one that finally comes to fruition one Halloween night. Now he is back home, where he is looking to terrorize and kill anyone who gets in his path - even babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis).
Made for just 325,000 John Carpenter's Halloween grossed over $47 million in 1978, making it one of the most successful indie films of all time. It kick started numerous careers (including star Jamie Lee Curtis) and is still viewed as one of the best horror films to ever hit the big screen. Now, thanks to a careful HD conversion that was overseen by the film's original cinematographer, Academy-Award® nominee Dean Cundey, you have the chance to experience the film in your home like never before.
Halloween: 35th Anniversary Edition hits store shelves just in time for the holiday, September 24, 2013.
