Halloween III: The Witch’s Season was released just one year later, but the 1982 film was the gap in the series because it was the only work in the series without Michael Myers. It's not even a slam movie. As the title suggests, Halloween III is more like a sci-fi movie with witchcraft. It aims to be the first in the movie anthology. It had poor reviews when it debuted at the theater, although it was comparing it to Michael Myers' film. Actually, it's just part of the series, but it's actually a great movie, and many fans love and enjoy these days – you just have to think of it as your own thing, not the wider Halloween Slasher series.
The upcoming limited edition Steel reflects the excellent 2021 Collection Edition From Shout Factory. Like the first two movies, this is a top-notch native 4K fix that was negated by original cameras approved by photographers Dean Cundey and Dolby Vision and HDR10. For audio, it supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound as well as DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0.
These two disc kits come with 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray discs. Here is a list of reward features:
CD 1 (4K Blu-ray):
- Audio Review: Tommy Lee Wallace (Director)
- Audio Review: Tom Atkins (Actor)
CD 2 (Blu-ray):
Blu-ray is based on 4K fixes, including two reviews and the following bonus features:
- Documentary: Alone: Halloween III
- A horrible holy place
- Interview with Tom Burman (Makeup Effect Artist)
- Stills Gallery
- Drama trailer
- TV attractions
- Radio point
Halloween Collection – More Blu-ray and Box Sets
We've summed up the rest of Halloween below, including budget-friendly boxes, the 4K Blu-ray version of the Modern Trilogy, and more.
Halloween series: 1978-1989
The above version of the shouting factory collector continues until Halloween 5, so be sure to check it out Michael Myers' return and Michael Myers' Revenge The same is true on 4K Blu-ray. We think both movies will eventually get their own version of the Steel Book. Each collector's edition comes with a kit.
4K Blu-ray Collector Edition:
4K Blu-ray Steelbook Edition: Amazon Exclusive
As mentioned earlier, Walmart also has an exclusive 4K Blu-ray version Halloween (1978), priced at $27.
Halloween series: 1995-2002
The series took another break after Michael Myers’ revenge, before returning in 1995 with the curse of Michael Myers. Follow-up was made in 1998: Halloween H20 20 years later: Halloween: Resurrection in 2002. The 1995-2002 films collected 1995-2002 films in the form of 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray and DVD. The box set is the only way to get these three movies on 4K Blu-ray at a reasonable price. Halloween H20 Released on 4K in 2023, but it's out of print. The standalone version of each movie on Blu-ray and DVD is also out of print, so the box set is OK regardless of the format you want.
Halloween 1995-2002: 3 Movie Collection:
Halloween series: 2018-2022
The modern trilogy that began in 2018 is also available in boxed formats on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD. Each collection includes: Halloween (2018), Halloween Killing (2021) and Halloween End (2022).
Each movie in the modern trilogy can also be used as a separate 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray combination package. Now, buying three movies separately is actually a bit cheaper. Also worth mentioning Steel boxes available on standard Blu-ray for Halloween 2018 Just $12.
Halloween Trilogy: 2018-2022 Collection:
Halloween Trilogy: 4K Blu-ray Version:
besides Halloween 2 movie serieswhich includes the original 1978 film and the 2018 Blu-ray sequel, for $23.
Rob Zombie's Halloween Movie: 2007-2009
Rob Zombie's 2007 and 2009 remakes are not Canon, but they are worth a try. Unfortunately, both movies are only available on 1080p Blu-ray.
