Hopefully you've been good boys and girls this year. Santa will be bringing fans and franchise collectors Halloween Ends and the complete David Gordon Green-directed Halloween Trilogy to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray December 27th 2022

David Gordon Green's tenure with the Halloween franchise certainly has been interesting. With Halloween (2018) there was the promise of a franchise retcon expunging from the timeline every past Halloween sequel and reboot save for John Carpenter's original classic. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as the iconic "final girl" Laurie Strode - a role we hadn't seen her occupy since she was stabbed in the back and dropped off a roof in 2002's Halloween Resurrection. While this outing certainly had some issues, by and large stalwart Michael Myers fans were excited to see this new direction take fold. And then Halloween Kills came along. While I didn't hate the film, I won't deny how messy it was. But that's okay, because it was the middle part of a planned trilogy, and everything would come together for Halloween Ends... we all know how well that turned out. To say the least, it sparked a passionate response. Now the trilogy capper Halloween Ends and a full trilogy of David Gordon Green's Halloween films is due to come out two days after Christmas as a last-minute stocking stuffer for eager fans... or a lump of coal depending on how you feel about the films. 

Now - we don't yet have full specs and outside of the SteelBooks, the cover art isn't official or finalized and that release date could change - it could come out even earlier than that considering the second-weekend box office for Halloween Ends, but these are all up for pre-order right now at various retailers. As soon as more details come in, we'll update our listings and this article.

Michael Myers returns to terrorize his hometown backed by a diabolical deadly Druid cult, slash away at the students of his sister's lux boarding school, and then pop by the old homestead for his HGTV debut - too bad Chip and Joanna weren't there to greet him...

Earlier in the summer Scream Factory announced this 3-Movie 8-Disc set would be knocking on your door in time for Trick-or-Treaters this October. We knew this set would offer 4K and Blu-ray discs of each film, and in the case of The Curse of Michael Myers we'd be getting both cuts of the film.

Each film will pick up a new 4K scan with Dolby Vision HDR, and for a couple of the films some new bonus features!

And that's all the news that's fit to print! While this is certainly a set that's going to appeal to some die-hard Halloween fans, it's nice to see that each film is getting a new Dolby Vision transfer, as well as some new bonus features are thrown into the mix so it's not just a repackaging of the content from the big Blu-ray set Scream Factory pumped out all those years ago. 

Thank you for all of your pre-orders! They really do go a long way towards keeping our little operation up and running. 

Terror and hubris in the house of Gabe Newell!
