Remember Halloween, the original movie?
 

Hey remember the original movie “Halloween”? Well, it’s coming back to theatres for 2 nights on Oct 30 & 31! Also, there is supposed to be interviews with cast members and an interview with Rob Zombie about the next Halloween movie. Cool huh? I already got my tickets at www.bigscreenboxoffice if you’re interested.

I am REAL CURIOUS to know if the music track for this theatrical revisit is the ORIGINAL music track or the rerecorded one that's been foisted upon us on home video for some time now.

Wow crabby, I didn't know I had been foisted! Should I be concerned??

nah i wouldnt be concerned

If you understood the magnitude of the foisting, as I do, you would be very concerned. This foist is pretty serious!:eek:

Foist: 1: to introduce or insert surreptitiously or without warrant b : to force another to accept especially by stealth or deceit

2: to pass off as genuine or worthy <foist costly and valueless products on the public >

Hummm, I've definitely been foisted.

Nope, never heared of it

:rolleyes:

This is absolutely the cheeziest spam attempt ever. I feel belittled.

We aren't that stupid, asshole

hmm, I must be. LOL. They are planning Halloween on the AMC channel this week, they kind they do with commentary. Anyhow, the commerical showed a scene with Mike Myers and they said that they spray painted a William Shatner mask white for Mike Myers' mask! Is that true? That is hysterical!

Wow....somebody hasnt been keeping up on the news

Sorry Return, what news?

Yes, that's true. I believe they did a little more to it--trimmed the hair in a weird way and recolored the hair (probably also with spray paint).

This was a Don Post "Captain Kirk" mask, and a few years later Don Post Studios was officially involved in the making of, and the marketing of, "Halloween III," which featured 3 Don Post masks pretty prominently. I think a scene or two was shot at the mask factory too. If I am not mistaken, one of the 3 masks (the skull) was an existing product and the other two (the witch and the jack-o-lantern) were designed for the film. When the film was released, those masks were sold to the public as well.

Just taking a little jab at ya dude...the Shatner mask thing is common knowledge around most places, just having a little joke at your expense:)

Special features on the Halloween special edition DVD talk all about the mask, the budget, etc...also the fact that there is really no blood spilled in any of the scenes...I didn't notice that till seeing that. Yep, AMC...showing Wolfman, Frankenstein, etc...at like 9:00 am during the days, showing Halloween 4 and 5 about 300 times in primetime...dang I hate that kid in those-and where do all the cops keep coming from?
But, to AMCs credit, check out their monsterfest webiste, coold stuff and sounds.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic. ;)

It's about candy.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I've never heard anything about any "rerecorded" music track. I have the "25th Anniversary Edition" dvd of the original Halloween that came out in 2003, and the music track sounds the same to me as it always has.

Yes, I bumped my "Halloween experts...come forth!" thread in Modern Horror Movies. Take a look at it there.

It does bother me that so many people have seen recent rereleases of "Halloween" and not noticed that the music and sound effects tracks have been so heavily redone. I think it bothers me because "Halloween" is such a prominent horror film, and I feel people should be aware if someone releases a "changed" version that begins to veer away noticeably from what was originally seen.

One telltale sign you are hearing a "new" version is that the orchestrations make the theme music (in the opening titles) sound more like Halloween II, with synthetic violins swelling to a crescendo.

Another telltale sign is that the piano performance in the opening credits is performed too perfectly...by sequencers (in other words, it was programmed into, and performed by, a computer). The original piano track was performed by Carpenter "manually," and contains little flaws.

Bear in mind too, I think the redone version of the "Halloween" soundtrack is very well done--it sounds great, and it will blow you through the back wall. But the music, and many of the sound effects, have been changed.

Same thing with the Surround Stereo DVDs of "The Terminator"...it's good to hear the music in stereo, but the stereo mix contains many sound effects that are newly-added changes.
