You can't keep a good trilogy of slasher movies down for long, as a new version of Blumhouse's Halloween trilogy is getting a deluxe steelbook treatment

In case you missed out on them, Blumhouse's Halloween film series kicked off in 2018 with a new take on the story of Michael Myers. Set decades after the first film, Halloween tells the story of how his sister Laurie (played by Jamie-Lee Curtis) has been preparing for his eventual return. Once Myers escapes from confinement, he makes a beeline for Haddonfield and unleashes a new reign of bloody terror on the town in his quest to murder his sister.

The first film in this trilogy is easily the best, capturing the pure malevolence of Myers as an almost unstoppable force of murderous nature. While the sequels--Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends--aren't as good, they're still fun slasher movies to watch. For the bonus material, the compilation includes deleted scenes, gag reels, behind-the-scenes features, documentaries, and much more. If you're looking to get all three films right now, there's also a non-steelbook version of the Halloween trilogy available for $45, down from its original list price of $80.

There were quite a few Halloween movies released in the decades between the 1978 original and the 2018 soft reboot, in case you're looking to complete your Michael Myers collection. Are they mostly bad? Undeniably, but there's a charm to them for being mindless popcorn entertainment. Plus, how many other horror icons have managed to survive a fight with Busta Rhymes? Freddy Krueger wouldn't even last five minutes with the rap icon.

Overall, these are the definitive versions of the classic Halloween films, as you're getting fresh 4K remasters from the original film negatives, a wealth of extra content, and covers with new artwork to make these slashers stand out from the DVD pack. They're cheesy slasher movies--Halloween 3 being the sole exception here as it doesn't feature Michael Myers carving up teenagers--and they're fun for a spooky night of entertainment.
