I got an e-mail from the people who had the outtakes of the horror classic "Halloween".
Well the Synapse company had that footage ( with no sound) however there must of been legal reasons so they turned over the "outtakes" to the owners of "Halloween". I thought the outtakes & other footage would be in a 30th anniversary edition of "Halloween". However there hasn't been any mention anywhere about a 30th Anniversary Edition of "Halloween" from Anchor Bay or from the official web page http://www.halloweenmovies.com/
So a DVD release this year (with this footage) might not happen. I am sure that one day we will see this footage but it doesn't look like we will see it this year. I have written a letter to Anothony Masi who is in charge of the official web page. I asked him questions about this footage and a possible DVD release this year that would include the found outtakes. AS of today he has not written back but he is a good guy and I am sure I will hear from him soon. However he "might not be able to say anything".
However from the e-mails from fan that I have been getting that say " there is still plenty of Avenues that have not been explored by any DVD release".
HERE IS THE LETTER I GOT FROM SYNAPSE FILMS EXPLAINING THE FOUND OUTTAKES HALLOWEEN AND IF THERE GOING TO RELEASE THE FOOTAGE TO THE PUBLIC. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANYTHING FROM THE LETTER IT IS POSTED AS IT WAS WRITTEN TO ME
Hello Mr Heck:
"We have returned the footage to the owner" and, basically, at this time, are no longer involved with the project. It is unfortunate, but the owner of the materials has his own ideas on how he'd like things to work and we do not agree 100% with it.
At this point, we still may restore the footage on his behalf, but as of right now we no longer own the materials.
Kindest Regards,
Donald May, Jr.President, Synapse Filmshttp://www.synapse-films.com/

Just to clarify, we never said that the owner of the footage is the owner of Halloween. We have returned the materials to the person who sent us the materials. We tried to make a deal on his behalf but have been unable, therefore, we simply turned things back over to him.

I posted the letter you sent me. I did not change the letter. I am sorry I caused you trouble that was not my intent.
