Picture quality


It’s interesting how growing up, all the Halloween movies (1-5 at least) had a similar look and picture quality to them, due to all of them being in 4:3 standard definition making their presentations equal. So I never noticed the drop in picture quality between Halloween 3 and 4 until I saw all the films in high definition, which definitely changes my appreciation for 2 and 3 since they visually seem way superior to 4, which has the cinematography of a 1990s Hallmark/Lifetime movie by comparison. Halloween 5 has a more dark atmospheric look, but 4 is definitely the weakest of the earlier films in terms of cinematography.

The first three Halloween films had Dean Cundey doing the cinematography. It's the reason why those three look so good and quite consistent across the board with 4 being a major change visually.
