The '99 THX DVD color-timing just makes the film, for me, so much creepier and foreboding.  I think Carpenter said in the original commentary that Halloween 1978 owes a lot to Suspiria.  In fact he definitely stated this in that Criterion commentary track.  It's like an homage of color to Argento.  Now I am no authority on Suspiria or Argento, having just been recently exposed to his work.  But I now more fully understand what Carpenter was getting at.  Modern technology may have allowed him to more fully realize that vision.  It may not be definitive or correct, but it sure is awesome to behold.  It's really my favorite version of Halloween.
