Can anyone confirm that the following DVDs would make up the entire Halloween collection (with the exception of part 3) to include all major special features:

Halloween: 25th Anniversary Edition
Halloween: Restored (or Disc 1 of Limited Edition)
Halloween: Extended Edition (or Disc 2 of Limited Edition)
Halloween 2 (Universal)
Halloween 2 (Region 2 w/ Audio Commentary)
Halloween 4 Special Edition
Halloween 5 Special Editon
Halloween 6
Halloween 6: Producer's Cut
Halloween: H20
Halloween: Resurrection
Halloween: 25 Years of Terror

I believe the R2 German "Perfect Collection" has a Siskel and Ebert preview and separate interview with John Carpenter.

I don't believe the R1 releases of Halloween 6 and H20 are anamorphic, so you might want to look to other regions for those.

That Siskel & Ebert bit is also on the Criterion Laserdisc for Halloween. I don't know if you're into laser or not, but that could be a workaround for you.

You're right about 6 and H20 being non-anamorphic. I wish Dimension would do a re-issue or something. I've heard of the Criterion laserdisc but I wouldn't have a player to play it on. Thanks for your help.

I think that R2 of part 2 is the same as my R2 of part 3. It's got commentray from the writers of the novel adapation (not a good comm at that) and is mis-framed at a cropped 1.85. 3 does have a 5.1 audio track, but it doesn't make up for the cropped picture and cut version of the movie.
If you're interested, I still have it and will sell it for $5 or trade it for something cheap I don't have (offer stands for anyone interested).

The R4 release of H20 is anamorphic and has a decent little featurette that is not included on the R1 disc.

What is the additional featurette on H20's R4 DVD? I thought all releases just had the "Unmasking the Horror" feature which focuses on H1 and H20. I just checked it says there are Cast and Crew Interviews.

Can anyone confirm that H20 Region 4 has the Unmasking the Horror featurette as well as Cast and Crew interviews?
