Blu Ray Alert: "Halloween 4" and "Halloween 5"

By Carly on August 13th, 2012

The Halloween series has always been a favorite of mine. Honestly, I liked everything up until the Paul Rudd one ("Halloween 6"), which is kind of sad because I love me some Paul Rudd. And yes, for those of you that are asking, I even love "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch". But back on point, on August 21, Anchor Bay will be revamping two of my favorite movies from the series, "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" and "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers". Horror movie completists will want to pick these up, as they have all new 1080p HD transfers, lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio and over an hour of both archival and newly created bonus features.

Here are the official synopsis' and trailers for both films:

Halloween 4: He had maimed 16 people to get to his sister.  He was shot and incinerated, but still the entity that Dr. Sam Loomis (the legendary Donald Pleasence) calls “Evil on two legs” would not die. Tonight, Michael Myers has come home again…to kill! This time, Michael returns to Haddonfield for Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris, Halloween 5, The Last Boy Scout) – the orphaned daughter of Laurie Strode – and her babysitter Rachel (Ellie Cornell, Halloween 5, House of the Dead). Can Loomis stop Michael before the unholy slaughter reaches his innocent young niece?

Bonus Features: Audio Commentary with Director Dwight H. Little and Author Justin Beahm (NEW) , Audio Commentary with Actors Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris, Halloween 4/5 Discussion Panel, and Theatrical Trailer

Halloween 5: Michael Myers survived the mine explosion thought to have killed him. One year later, his traumatized young niece Jamie is horrified to discover she has a telepathic bond with her evil Uncle…and that Uncle Michael is on his way back to Haddonfield. But Dr. Loomis has a new plan to destroy The Boogey Man in his childhood home using Jamie as bait.  With enhanced gore and effects, vengeance has never looked so gruesome!

Bonus Features Include: Audio Commentary with Actor Don Shanks and Author Justin Beahm (NEW); Halloween 5: Orginal Promo (NEW ); Halloween 5: On The Set (NEW behind the scenes footage); Audio Commentary with Director Dominique Othenin-Girard and actors Danielle Harris and Jeffrey Landman and Theatrical Trailer
