Yes, H20 will be in the correct aspect ratio. What I meant by ‘no new transfers’ is that Scream obtained the existing masters from Miramax; no new transfers will be made and no further work will be done on the existing masters from what I understand. But they will all be in the correct aspect ratio.
Thanks for the clarification. Any word on the audio of H20 in this release? I know the current Blu-ray only has a 2 channel audio track. I’m still scratching my head over that decision; even the DVD gave us 5.1.

Anyone else get a shipment notice in their email?? I got one yesterday and I should have my set today! I’m excited to pop on the ‘producer’s cut’ of Curse!
Picked this up today on my lunch break and I’m glad I did.
It feels good to finally upgrade my Halloween movie collection into one meaningful boxed set with the blu Ray quality of the h1 tv version, H1 original with mono track, the tv cut of H2 and finally a quality blu Ray of h3, h4, h20 and of course the long awaited h6 producers cut. I can finally take my old DVDs and blu Rays that are autographed and store them away. This is everything I need packaged into one…finally. Call me picky…but it’s also GREAT to FIINALLLY have the original art work on the DVD cases. The ones in recent years have been terrible. I’m a purist. Can’t wait to watch a good copy of H6.
For those who purchased the boxset, be aware that the H4 disc has a significant audio sync issue beginning at approximately 46 minutes in. Apparently Anchor Bay is looking into it; hopefully they’ll do the right thing and start a replacement program.
Also, for those asking about the region coding, all the discs are region A locked.
No, not “all” of them are region locked, but I’m sorry to confirm that most of them are. My personal results are posted in the requested threads.
Briefly spoken, there are certainly both welcoming & lazy qualities to this collection. While most of the discs are simply direct copies of existing resources/releases, I’d suppose it’s an above average approach with the handful of additions & updates.
Binging my Halloween bluray set and so far, out of the movies I’ve watched so far (RZH1, H78, H2, and H4, the original series discs all have volume control issues. They become quieter at random intervals and last for a few minutes. The only the I don’t seem to have wrong with these discs is the sync issue on H4.
