The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack was created by Chace Productions in association with film composer Alan Howarth using the original 16-track music studio master, along with the original 35mm magnetic dialogue and effects tracks.

Special features for Halloween Restored include: Widescreen presentation enhanced for 16x9 TVs, full-frame presentation, theatrical trailer, TV spots, radio spot, talent bios, still gallery, behind-the-scenes still gallery, and the featurette Halloween Unmasked 2000.

The extended edition of Halloween, which has long been unavailable, is out of print no longer! When the film was sold to NBC in 1980 for network broadcast, NBC’s Standards & Practices Department demanded numerous cuts to the original film. In order to fill the movie’s two-hour television running time, director John Carpenter, joined by the crew of Halloween II and stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence, commenced a three-day shoot of all-new scenes and alternate footage that was then added to the original feature. These 12 minutes of scenes have long been described as the ultimate missing piece of Halloween history.

Special features for Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers include: Widescreen presentation enhanced for 16x9 TVs, audio commentary with actors Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris, audio commentary with writer Alan B. McElroy, Halloween 4/5 discussion panel, Final Cut: The Making of Halloween 4, and the theatrical trailer.

Special features for Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers include: Widescreen presentation for 16x9 TVs, audio commentary with director Dominique Othenin-Girard and actors Danielle Harris and Jeffrey Landman, Inside Halloween 5 documentary featuring rare behind-the-scenes footage, a cut scene, and interviews with Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Don Shanks, executive producer Moustapha Akkad and cinematographer Rob Draper; introduction by stars Danielle Harris and Ellie Cornell, on-set Halloween 5 footage featuring never-before-seen footage taken from the set, and the theatrical trailer.

Halloween: 25 Years of Terror is a comprehensive retrospective that chronicles the man, the mask, and the movies. Narrated by P.J. Soles (“Lynda” in the original Halloween), this much-acclaimed documentary features interviews from more than 80 filmmakers and actors including Carpenter, Curtis, Clive Barker, Rob Zombie (director of the 2007 remake) and more.
