Thanks PreludeRM
PreludeRM,
First welcome to the forum,
I was just browsing the forum for the first time in a week or so and I saw your post...
This set is poodoo as there are better versions of almost all the stuff on them, BUT it is neat to have them on the two discs - The third disc is just the vintage ads, I have a SLIGHTLY better version of this that I transfered from my VHS tape in my ANGRYSUN collection
But since you asked and I had made a set of covers in an inksaver style BUT I just deleted them all but I saved this one for you ! (I had 40 covers in this set but I'm nuking em all now!! In favor of my new covers )

-----------Halloween 6 The Producers Cut--------- -------------------Fanmade DVD------------------- -----Ripped And Brougt To You By Alfredsson------
MOVIE INFO:
Halloween 6 was completely reworked after Donald Pleasence's death in 1995, with a new beginning and an extended reshoot for the ending. A different score was created as well as various reshoots and script changes. This resulted in a version so different from the original that it's like watching another film altogether. This rare Collector's DVD restores the film to it's original state with over 43 minutes of alternate footage missing from the theatrical release re-edited back in for a seamless viewing experience. You get a completely different ending where Dr. Loomis does not die and the character of Jamie has a very different fate. All of this adds up to a far superior and more fleshed out film than the theatrical release. This DVD is presented in Widescreen . It has excellent Digitally Remastered audio and video quality . This special Collector's Edition DVD is loaded with extra features not found on any other release. NTSC Region 0 DVD will play in North American/Canadian players as well as any player worldwide that can play NTSC DVDs.
DVD FEATURES:
*43 Minutes of Additional Footage Re-edited in *Aspect Ratio: Widescreen [1.85:1] *Alternate Score Promotional Featurettes *Rare "Behind-the-Scenes" footage "Entertainment Tonight" *Feature English and Spanish Subtitles (removable) *Theatrical and Teaser Trailers *Interactive Menu/Chapter Stops *Running Time: Approx. 93 Minutes *Color *1995 *Region 0 *NTSC *Unrated and Uncut
Head on over to www.pisexy.org and you´ll find it there
This release is the MOJO version of Halloween 6 - This is a COMPOSITE that uses footage from the "screener" spliced into footage from the DVD, you will notice each time it uses the VHS footage as the quality is much lower.... BUT this is still a GREAT DVD though!!!
(and one of the contributors to this DVD also is a member of these very forums!!!!)
I also have a GREAT copy of the actual screener on SuperVHS (copied from one of the actual screener tapes ) that I transfered to DVD that will make it to MYSPLEEN.NET
I've watched your first "Executor Boxset" Extras DVD and I must say I'm impressed with these VHS transfers, the moment you drop the DVD into your player your greeted with the words A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .
The motion menus were some of the coolest I've seen from any of the extras DVD's, the PAL VHS capture was a wonderful surprise (having done a few captures myself I know VHS can be tricky) very clear image on my set but please keep in mind this is a PAL set so my DVD player did downconvert it to NTSC so I'm sure that a PAL playback setup would look MUCH better as it would not have the vertical squeeze. Goose this is a great first outing and I would LOVE to see a complete set!
Drop me an email tonight or so I'd like to run a few things past ya
Well, we now have about 12-14 seeds - so PLEASE gang stay SEEDING on as LONG AS POSSIBLE.
IF there is ANYONE here willing to REMAKE the .torrent file with a NEW TRACKER (like piratebay.org) and RE-UPLOAD the DVD (just use the same files and folder that this DVD came in) PLEASE DO!!! but I do ask that is stay an ISO though - so it retains the DVD-Rom and NFO!
THANKS gang and ENJOY!!!!!!
Disc TWO will be up in a day or SO, I need to defrag and clean up my PC before I upload the next DVD so please allow me a bit of downtime.
THEN AFTER this DVD (MAYBE on Monday!!) - I will upload a f*%$in' GREAT BATMAN Edit titled....

Halloween 6: The Origin of Michael Myers - The Producers Cut "Workprint" - VHS transfer NON-Composite!!
I know halloween 2 and 4 have producer cut versions and I've been scouting for those. Only available on ebay right now for $70+
STILL ON my Star Wars break but as this is also not SW reletated...
Hey there - I've now gotten like 4 emails asking about my Halloweeen Transfers/Captures - My brother and myself have spend about 4-6 years recording, trading and buying all the VHS tapes we could find of the Halloween movies and alternate cuts, well we've picked the best tapes to make these tapes, so here is what we've done (anything marked ANGRYSUN is our capture and encode)
I'm still on vacation from the forums but check this out!
It's time we got these out there PROPER!
As you know this title is not an official DVD but a fan created DVD this 2 disc DVD set will be uploaded for FREE download via the bittorrent network on MONDAY the 22nd of this month on MYSPLEEN.NET and there will also be a NEWSGROUP upload in about 1-2 weeks!!
NOW onto what the upload will have...
The final two disc RIC DVD set contains: - The complete two hour, twenty-six minute version of the film. - On-screen commentary track, detailing what footage Donner shot, and other RIC trivia. - Long out of print documentary "The Making of Superman II." - Long out of print "Superman II Soundtrack." - "Lost Scene Gallery" featuring pictures of Donner's unreleased work on Superman II. - "Restoration Demonstration" showing before and after footage examples. - ALL NEW DVD-Rom folder with the complete ORIGINAL RIC artwork folder. All the artwork, from the cover to the disc art, it's all included in both High Quality TIFF and JPEG file formats.
This set looks SWEET when printed to semi glossy photopaper and if you print the discs (PLEASE don't use STICKERS! gang)
If you can't wait for the upload drop me an email for further details!!!
I've been asked for a review of this set from a few folks and so in lieu of full reviews for each DVD I’ve done these MINI reviews!!
In my quest to review all the DVD’s I was gonna sit down and watch one transfer a day and write down notes on the films BUT after think this plan over (50+ hours of SW in 7 days…) SO instead I made a OT transfer DEMO DVD that featrured 7 of the best NTSC OT laserdisc transfers! And now after having a few friends (5 of us total) over to check out the Demo DVD and the new Cowclops Transfers; we did watch the DEMO DVD first (27” 4:3 TV) and then the entire Cowclops V.2 ESB (16:9 LCD projector) then after the viewing we watched the DEMO DVD a second time (TV) and third time (Projector) after that we voted for the BEST OT transfers...
Now, there are few things for you to consider about these mini reviews.
1 - We did not use ANY of the Asian "IMPORTED" laserdisc transfers.
2 - I felt it best NOT to use the PAL transfers as the average DVD viewer cannot play PAL
3 - These are my personal opinions and it is best to come to your own conclusion about these DVD’s (that’s why I made the DEMO DVD )
So starting from the bottom of the list....
7 - The Quality Broth set
This set is the worst of the best, it features lots of artifacting, jaggies and pixilation BUT the colors are nice and not over boosted or muted - would look best on a 19" or smaller screen.
6 - The Cowclops V.2
This is yet again another anamorphic transfer but unlike the other versions this one seems to have the aspect ration spot on (I’ve not measured it but it looks damn close!) when screened with a Panasonic PT-AE100U (16x9 native) LCD projector this transfer also has motion artifacting jaggies which seem to be a LD to DVD trait but this transfer does offer good detail on all three discs the only downer is that all the dark colors did look a bit washed out and when played back on a 27” television odd double black bars appeared…
The double black bars shot this set down, the black levels are WAY off on all the discs in this set and required the standard TV settings to be changed in order to make them disappear - so this would also mean that the double black bars (ones really dark grey) are really supposed to be there? (the dealer of this set has confirmed that the low black levels are intentional) - SO you'll honestly need to lower the brightness setting and possibly boost the contrast on your set to enjoy these DVD’s (THEN lower both again to watch TV or other movies – otherwise they seem too dark!)
– OKAY, OKAY yes having to adjust your set is really no big deal nor does it take that long but let’s be brutally honest here… WHEN was the last time you had to alter the color settings of your TV set in order to enjoy a DVD?
5 - The Farsight Set
A very fair transfer the second of the “Anamorphic” transfers and is about tied with the ISOMIX set on quality. Nice colors and less jaggies and pixilation but there is some artifacting under motion and dark scenes - The picture is not as sharp and some finer details are a bit blurred but the lack of double black bars when played back on a standard 4:3 set bumped this set above the Cowclops V.2 set -
4 - The ISOMIX Set
The Isolated score gave this set the edge until the EditDroid set became a public torrent, Good/Fair colors and a real neat menu structure have kept this a popular set but the set does suffer from more jaggies on ESB and JEDI and some motion artifacting is apparent in the "battle" scenes and the sabers seem a bit washed (true they are in the LD also) - BUT I'm sure that this set is a straight transfer with NO color or gamma modifications.
3 - The Cowclops V.1 (aka Row47, TR47 and the PCM audio set)
This set is a LONG time favorite next to the Dr. Gonzo set. This set features the BEST AUDIO PERIOD! Sweet PCM transfer has the BEST surround of any set and the picture very well may be on of the best also. A few minor errors have been pointed out on this set including a LD side flip on ESB that has 4 seconds of blank screen before the Leia welding footage (At 50m 31s) and ROTJ; on some DVD players there MAY be a slight stutter when a speeder bike explodes due to a bitrate jump. The lack of any menus was a bit of a let down but the overall video/audio presentation made up for the lack of menus. AND yes, it is true that there was a second version that was re-authored by RowMan to include new basic “title-page” static menus and he also cut the bad “blank” screen frames this second version is called the “Row47” version and is a real step up from the first release.
The Best sound and great 4x3 picture helped this set tie for #2
2 - Dr. Gonzo
This is the oldest known transfer of the sets, yet most likely the most popular and well known of ALL the sets. This DVD set became the main stay of eBay OT DVD's for many years now and has fetched upwards of $500 for a 4 disc set (a few years back that is!). The sheer awesomeness of this set is apparent in the menu layout and the anamorphic video conversion. (the first of the anamorphic versions) It would seem MORE time that went into the creation of this set then others based on the presentation (with the exception of the EditDroid set), from the commentary track to the incredible extras disc, if only the audio was a stronger and if the video had a bit more detail (the video seems a bit fuzzy the yellow off a tad & aspect ratio seems off very slightly) this set may well have NOT tied for second.
1 - The EditDroid Set
WOW, after all the sets we get a set with both great picture and sound. MUCH thought went into this set with its selectable title crawl for STAR WARS and the coolest menus of the bunch. Sure some sets may have been encoded into anamorphic widescreen but thank goodness the creators of this set did not take that route! (I prefer the straight 4:3 transfers myself – no 16:9 display) This set may well be the damn nicest of the NTSC transfers, strong colors and solid audio set this set apart.
