This is a relief. Was waiting to hear some opinions on the new 4k scan. Still not sure if I want to grab the 4k scan, 40th anniversary, or both!
my oppo player does a decent up-rez–have never seen any artifacts. My grabs are all hd. the 4k(actually 3.8k) is just down-rezzed in half to HD.
I was concerned my DVD’s(480) would have artifacts on a 4K TV. This is good to know you haven’t seen any artifacts.
BTW what 4K Tv do you have?
Oppo Player UDP-203
LG Electronics 43UH6100 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (does support HDR but black levels don’t reproduce black like the OLED’s do.
I do have the OLEDS @ work --I work in post.
I’m looking at the Sony 900F 4K TV. The OLED’s are nice but I heard they can get burn in. The 900F is also quite a bit cheaper than an OLED and it’s image is real close especially the black level. It also has Dolby Vision.
FYI This went down to $14.99 on Amazon yesterday, glad I waited since I couldn’t get it from my local target.
Yep. Just ordered mine yesterday. Will be here tomorrow!
UPDATE: got mine in the mail a couple days ago and I love it, I really like how it looks and the sleeve it goes into looks really cool

The biggest benefit of the new disk is the colors. The detail, well there’s less of a difference between the 4K release and the 35th anniversary blu-ray than there is between the first blu-ray release and the 35th anniversary blu-ray. The colors looking more natural and realistic is the best thing the 4K release has going for it, I’d imagine this is the closet we’ve had to theatrical colors.
I really dislike how rushed everything else is though, but Lionsgate is known for being lazy with their back catalog.
Diabolik DVD is very legit in my experience.
Got mine today! Can’t wait to watch it this weekend!
Yes the colors are great…35th seemedunnaturally bright compared to the new one.
So, is there going to be another release at a later time under the 40th Anniversary title,or is this 4k one it for this year?Or rather,have any of you got any info. about such a release?
Have seen people comment on a potential 40th, was just wondering if I should get the 4k one now or wait it out for another edition with potentially more special features ect.
Glad to see the film get a 4k release regardless!
Unless they just drop it with original mono, this is the halloween 40th release.
I’m curious how they’re able to make a 4K version of an older film? Was it originally shot in a higher quality resolution but had to be downsized for the resolution of older TVs?
Can someone list the differences between all the blue ray releases in terms of detail/colors/sound? I’m looking to buy one and didn’t know they all had slight differences
The original movie was shot on 35 mm film which has a lot of resolution. It can easily be transferred to 4K. It was just transferred to video so they could broadcast it on TV.
Finally seeing it tonight for the first time. Beautiful 
got my 4k UHD BluRay of Halloween 78 last night and watched it. I thought it looked great. It’s the first time I’ve really noticed the texture and shine of the mask and not just the mask itself. It’s definitely a higher resolution and I noticed a few little things I’d never noticed before which is sort of cool.
I’ll probably watch it again today.
Does Halloween 4K have both the new commentary and old commentary tracks?
I got my Halloween 4K disc today. It looks nice but I think I prefer the THX(1999) version’s overall look. The colors were a bit punchier and the blue lighting showed more. Perhaps it was overdone a bit for the DVD.
However this 4K looks real sharp and has more of a horror movie look. I can’t wait to watch it with the commentary.
