For the 25th anniversary of John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween, just guess who would celebrate this with yet another version of the film on DVD? Good old Anchor Bay, once famous for their cult leanings and lately for their habit of re-releasing the main staples in their catalogue over and over again (The Evil Dead, anyone?). This being their fifth release of the original Michael Myers gem, you would think that they would get it right this time and bring out the definitive version to cancel out all their previous discs, but sadly, it was not to be. Sure, this one's seemingly packed to the gills -- included, for the first time on DVD, is the precious laserdisc commentary with Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Debra Hill, along with a brand new, whopping 87 minute documentary "Halloween -- A Cut Above The Rest" and yet another, smaller documentary on revisiting the old locations of the shoot in California (Haddonfield, IL, never existed). What's missing, though, are the extra, filmed-for-TV scenes which Anchor Bay has made available plenty of times before. So why leave them out now? Another sore spot on the disc is the highly touted Divimax transfer, which, while pristine in most areas, actually diffuses the color in many other more subtle shots. Even more perplexing is why they threw out their 35 mm interpositive print on the THX digitally mastered 1999 Halloween disc, which cinematographer Dean Cundey had approved just a few years before. On the plus side, the rest of the DVD is filled with extra goodies, like the original theatrical trailer, TV spots, radio spots, poster and still gallery, and a quite nice Dolby Digital 5.1 audio mix. When it comes down to it, the disc almost hits it out of the ballpark, but given their history with the film, don't be surprised if a more deluxe version shows up from them soon down the road.
