Paramount has a terrible track record for remastering it’s early LD titles. I still have fits from trying to find a digital sound remaster of Grease pre 20th anniversary remix.

Going off a brief perusal of the LDDB, there are two Japanese pressings of the original 13th that have CX noise reduction where the domestic pressing doesn’t.

It’s a mixed bag on the rest as Paramount went CX depending on whether the sun was out that day. Analog LD tracks have a bit of background hum and hiss without CX, but I suppose somebody could filter it out?

Unfortunately, none of these will be cheap as fans snap up everything to do with the films these days.
