Better than Echo Bridge's Release!
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers - Of the three films, I enjoyed this transfer the most. There isbackground grain/noise, but it's not too distracting as the movie gets going. It is to be expected with acatalogue release like this, and at the very least shows there is no DNR on this release. Blacks aredark, and the colors stand out. The audio in this release is very strong, and definitely sticks out betterthan it does on Echo Bridge's region-free release.Video - 4/5Audio - 4.5/5Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later - Unfortunately, H20 suffers the most of the three films on thisrelease. The opening moments are very grainy, but it does get better when the movie gets going. Itseems like it might have just been some print damage that affected the video on this one, but it stilllooks far better than it ever did on DVD. As has been said before, this release contains the best audioof the H20 releases. Dialogue is crisp and clear, and the score sets the mood easily.Video - 3.5/5Audio - 5/5Halloween Resurrection - As the only film with the 1080p transfer, it was obvious that Resurrection'stransfer would be the best (though I do personally feel like Curse came across the best). The audio isclear and the video looks great, even if the film itself is pretty bad.Video - 4/5Audio - 4/5Unfortunately, this release is without English subtitles and bonus features, but I still recommend it forthose of us who can't play the Region B releases of Curse and H20, as the audio and video are bothsuperior to the releases that Echo Bridge gave us.Overall Video - 4/5Overall Audio - 4.5/5

Very Nice Halloween Pack. Recommended
So I have been wanting H20 to replace my dvd for some time because of the fact it wasn't anamorphic and i hated having to zoom my tv in to watch in in somewhat of a widescreen format, instead of a box in the middle of my screen.So I ordered this after researching a little and reading that the U.S. Echo company version, the audio was only 2.0 for H20, which i wasn't a fan of. So then I came across this version, read some reviews and took a chance. I was not disappointed. I dont care much for Halloween 6 so I am disregarding that from this review.Halloween H20 - Video is correct aspect ratio that everyone has stated it was, nice clean picture, a few artifacts but very rarely, but that doesnt both me in older film, i kind of like it as long as it isn't horrible. The audio is in nice and clear coming through all 5.1 channels.Resurrection - Video is same as H20 Clean with few artifacts. Audio is 5.1 clearing coming through all channels.The downside to this was the price, and i didnt want Halloween 6, but overall very happy with this purchase. Now to get Halloween and Halloween 2 on bluray, and i will be all set.

I would recommend this bundle of Halloween over the Echo Bridge Version!
Even though I owned Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers, Halloween: H20 And Halloween: Resurrection on Blu-ray release by Echo Bridge, I still prefer this Version because Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers looks much better than the Echo Bridge version and it's got a better sound quality. What I really like about this this version of This Halloween Triple Pack is that Halloween: H20 its in it's original Aspect ratio: 2:35:1 although the film has a little grain, but that doesn't bother me that much, where as Echo Bridge cut the film to fit on your screen 1:78:1. Don't really care for Halloween: Resurrection never watch it they should've stopped in Halloween: H20! I would Highly Recommend if your a Halloween Fan!

A Rare Item At A Great Price!
Okay so i was a little reluctant to buy this at first being I am in the US and this is a Canada release.First off I want to point out that there are no special features. But the quality makes up for it!All three movies are looking great on blu ray!!Also this is a SINGLE DISC Blu Ray with all 3 movies on one disc and a pretty sweet Halloween Menu :)I am 100% satisfied with this release. Now we will all await the release of Halloween 2-5 on Blu Ray!

Fantastic set on 1 disc
For fans of the Halloween series, this blu ray is worth the 35(ish) dollar upgrade. The movies are presented with better audio and much better picture quality. Also, The Curse and H2O are finally anamorphic. The image is more crisp, clear and colors and details are stronger and more vibrant and alive. All 3 films are on 1 single sided disc and although bare bones, the quality makes up for the lack of special features. This set is really pleasing because the quality upgrade and although these films don't totally wow in blu ray's big budget movie fashion, the films do look and sound much better, especially "The Curse" in my opinion because the colors just really radiate in that film. It's one of the only colorful Halloween sequels and it pays off on Blu. These films may never get released on Blu ray here (at least not for a few years) so this is definitely the best way to get them in high quality. It's region A (which plays in US and Canada). The only things that may have made this set even better would be if Alliance had put some kind of "Halloween Documentary" or some sort of special interview looking into Dimension and it's backstory on buying the 'Halloween' franchise and making these 3 films. It baffles me that "The Curse" has never had specail features, even on the DVD released in 2000, because I know there are like 30 deleted scenes from an alternate cut and there was a lot of behind the scenes interviews that I've seen on youtube. I really hope that one day these films get the total treatment they deserve here in the US with a special edition blu ray release.However, I have nothing to complain about, this set is really a fair price and the quality is good. Definitely good enough to make you throw away the old DVDs of The Curse and H2O (minus Resurrection on DVD because the DVD is loaded with special features!)Fans should buy this, it will hold them up until The US releases blu rays of these films with special features...Which may take...forever.
