I’ve had this for years but never seen it. Not even sure where it is. Didn’t know about the Halloween connection. That’s interesting given its reverence.

I saw a video on YouTube about the controversial blu-ray release of Halloween 2. Watch it - and the issue was University removed Moustapha Akkad from the intro credits, which made folks mad. I never heard of Akkad, looks on wiki, and seriously, the guy has only done Halloween movies and 2 epics :D
