Ib qho txiaj ntsig tshiab trilogy ntawm "Halloween" sequels rau nws 1978 thawj tsuas yog qhwv nrog "Halloween xaus," uas Carpenter pab tau qhab nia thiab cov thawj coj tsim khoom.

Thiab nws tau raug tso tawm peb zaug ntawm boutique tsev-video tuam txhab Shout Factory qhov txaus ntshai-centric Scream Factory daim ntawv lo, qhov tshaj tawm tshiab yog ib tug qhuas 4K high-txhais disc xyoo tas los. (Carpenter yog tus thawj coj sawv cev tshaj plaws ntawm Scream Factory. "Peb tau sim kom tau txais tag nrho nws cov yeeb yaj kiab," tus thawj coj lag luam thiab tus tsim Jeff Nelson tau hais.)
