USA Network Halloween promo

Promo for John Carpenter's 1978 classic, Halloween, when it ran on USA Network back in the mid-90's. It's a great promo with Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper in the background. I'm pretty sure USA re-played the insanely butchered NBC print from back in the early 80's. It has the infamous "TV scenes" inserted, but the film itself is cut to Hell for little reason. I literally think they tried to censor ever shot featuring a knife.

If I sent you costs for shipping or whatever on PayPal, would you send me a copy of this broadcast or the Halloween II broadcast on DVD?

@BrettWWE

I wish I had the full broadcasts. All I have is a little less than half of Halloween. I've been trying to upload it for a long time but I've been so busy!

Fun fact, Don't Fear The Reaper ( the song used here) was actually in Halloween.

That's what I love. You could tell the person who made this actually SAW the movie! LOL! Most promos now just look slapped together with no care or thought put into them.

This was from early October of 1996. I remember because that was the first time I'd ever seen Halloween, and I've never forgotten how pumped I was to watch it after seeing this promo. Good shit, dude.

October 31st... 1996... Is where I tape recorded this sucker & had the Original commercials for this, including HalloweeN II as a double feature, and although it's butchered to hell & back, I still watched these suckers over & over in my basement during the next couple of weeks.

It was awesome, though there's a few sound/music cues in here that I thought were better than in the Extended DVD version. Regardless, I still like the USA version, cuz I grew up on them. *McStab*

I still have this promo somewhere on tape. Always loved it. TV is just not the same anymore.

[TheAltair4]

Awesome! This is one of the best t.v. promos i've ever seen!

What a great promo if u notice the song is REALLY in sync with the movie clips at

0:25 " Fear the reaper" Jamie is in fear. Than at 0:27 " Nor do the wind" a clip of sheets being blown by the wind. " The sun" a clip of Laurie walking away on a sunny day and also the scene where it shows the word " Sister" carved in the door, foreshadowing a blood relation to Laurie, the being siblings, and finally at 0:29 the scene with the car in the rain. :) I miss the knids of promo.
