It's a pity Shout are releasing the Halloween films in October and not September as we probably won't actually get to watch them in October due to shipping from the US.

You might be able to pick up the Universal version for a bit cheaper, perhaps via Amazon?? It comes with Terror in Aisles as a bonus feature.

Here it is on Wow but you'd have to add the VAT on top so might be better finding it elsewhere. They also have the SF disc for around £16 (ex VAT)

That's the version that I have, I'm very happy with it. So happy that I'm not interested in upgrading to the new 4K UHD. There's occasionally some minor white speckles but that doesn't bother me. Also worth mentioning that the 80 minute Terror In The Aisles documentary is in HD.

Took another fresh look at this blu-ray last night. There's actually quite a bit of white speckles on the print but like I said, it doesn't really bother me. Not when the film looks so good otherwise. This is easily one of Universal's better blu-rays (I wish my Universal Halloween 3 blu-ray looked as good). After taking another fresh look, my wife and I then enjoyed watching the whole Terror In The Aisles documentary - it's a great extra.

As the Inspector mentioned before pick up the German Halloween III blu ray fully uncut and looks so good.

I'll probably buy the SF 4k of H3 but skip the rest. I've got the BDs of them all and they all look fine to me, but Season of the Witch is one of my faves so it has to be done.
