I don’t think I’ve seen this movie before myself, but I do like the first two Halloween films. NCFan is doing this on a Scanstation, have you seen a print scanned off a current model before? They will be way easier to grade etc compared with older tech and the quality is very professional. You may like to see how they scan compared with the Tech used with where you work which is based on Trilinear CCD, the Scanstations are not quite as sharp as the RGB scanners but if sharpness is your thing you can always do some modest sharpening in post after colour correction. That won’t look anything like projection though if that’s what you’re going for as projection softens the image a little bit even when you have a sharp print.

For anyone who’s interested in this film I’d suggest donating towards the scanning cost. Most people don’t know this, but individual machines vary a lot and how they’re operated makes a big difference. This is one operated to a professional restoration standard compared with many others which are operated to lower standards and often produce vastly inferior results as a consequence. This scan will look vastly superior to most other fan scans.
