Halloween 4 Audio Sync Issues Being Looked Into
If there’s a single blight on Anchor Bay and Scream Factory’s release of the Halloween: The Complete Collection Blu-ray (review), it’s that there’s a 10-minute stretch during Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers in which the audio does not sync up properly.
The audio issue was present on Anchor Bay’s previous release of Halloween 4 on Blu-ray, and reports are that it’s even worse here. The problems start around the 45:30 mark, when Jamie is wandering the streets alone, having lost her group of trick-or-treaters, before bumping into Rachael. The characters’ lips are clearly not matching up with their words, some lines much more obviously than others. The issue persists for a good ten-minute chunk before correcting itself.
