As I’m in Australia, I cannot keep up with all the releases of this film overseas. I have tried to take a look at ‘DVD Compare’, but that site is currently offline. I was just wondering if the LD is worth preserving, because there’s currently an auction for this LD. The features are:

Commentary with writer/director/composer John Carpenter, writer/producer Debra Hill and actress Jamie Lee Curtis
The original theatrical trailer
Separate music and effects track (analog left)
Additional footage shot for the 1980 television release
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert give splatter movies the thumbs down while praising Halloween in a controversial 1980 Sneak Previews segment
Photo essay on the making of Halloween
Photo Essay on splatter films
Illustrated filmographies of John Carpenter, Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis
The cover also contains the famous review by Tom Allen (Village Voice)
Genre guide by John McCarty, author of Splatter Movies: Breaking the Last Taboo of the Screen, including capsule reviews of cold-blooded killer movies from The Bad Seed to Halloween 5

It also contains footage from the television release; presented in full-frame. Now, I’m not sure if this auction has the booklet, but it does have the LDs and the cover - and in what looks like near-mint condition. Would it be worth purchasing this to preserve it or are the features already available on the DVD releases?
