Finally a proper release of Phantasm II. It will go nicely with the AB editions of Phantasm and Pantasm III.

I do like that Halloween II and III will get a proper SE. Now for Blu Ray release of Halloween 4 and 5 and the producers cut of Halloween 6.

I got both of these today along with a Limited Edition Poster for Halloween III and a Limited Edition Nurses Hat from Halloween II

Do you wear your nurses hat while watching Halloween II? I'm not a huge fan of those premiums. I do have a copy of House of the Devil on legit VHS when I order my DVD copy from Amazon years ago. I need something to playback on my D Theater VHS besides a copy of T2 and Backdraft. I just went the discount route and got Halloween II and III from Amazon.
