This sounds soooo awesome. I have every film in the collection already bar Halloween 3 Season of the Witch but the inclusion of Halloween 6 The Producers Cut makes this a must have for me. I remember reading it has around 40 minutes of entirely different footage and is near enough a utterly different film. Very excited to say the least. I've wanted to see it for years. Congratulations Anchor Bay and Scream Factory this is very special.
