The very good-humored co-star P.J. Soles contributes the narration (and figures in the extra goodies shot at the convention). The film marches through the years, providing some fairly interesting behind-the-scenes material: the alternate versions of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (aka Halloween 6), and the controversy over differing Michael Myers masks in Halloween H2O. Proper due is paid to Carpenter’s brilliant first film, but nobody ever really comes out and says how bad most of the sequels were–although studio interference is blamed for the inadequacies of some of the pictures. The doc isn’t exactly deep, but there are some decent observations about how the elemental horror of “the Shape” in the first film was contained in the film’s style. Horror directors Clive Barker, Rob Zombie, and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) weigh in as well.Is "Halloween: A Cut Above The Rest" actually the TV version or have I been supplied the wrong disc?

Dressed in funeral finery, this horrific multi-media scrapbook is a 'thank you' to fans while also serving as a comprehensive retrospective of the entire Halloween series, examining through interviews, convention footage, panel discussions, stills, and montages various elements of the franchise.
