Universal Home Entertainment is answering complaints that surrounded its September Blu-ray release of Rick Rosenthal’s Halloween II.
If you recall, fans noticed the Blu-ray’s print of the film was distinctly lacking the title card of late producer Moustapha Akkad (more on that right here). A Shock reader going by the name “Hitchhiking Ghost” informed us that UHE is alerting those who bought the disc – and contacted them – that a revised edition is available. Here is the e-mail that is going out to purchasers:
Dear “Halloween II” Blu-ray Owner,
We’re happy to let you know that revised “Halloween II” Blu-ray discs are now available.
For information on receiving a replacement, please let us know your mailing address and daytime telephone number.
Sincerely,
Consumer Relations
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us regarding our recent Blu-ray release of “Halloween II.” We are looking into this and will be back in touch with you when we have further information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

So, if you have an early run of the Halloween II Blu-ray, reach out to Universal and get your replacement copy. If any Shock readers get this “revised” edition, please let us know if Akkad’s name remains intact now…
