Halloween II VHS Regrade (Quick Project v1.0)

So I was looking around at some old VHS caps and found one for Halloween 2. After watching and comparing it to the Shout Halloween Collection BD, I was surprised how different the two were in some scenes. There are some dark greens, puncher blues, yellows and red on the VHS that were not there on the Shout BD. Sometimes garish but always interesting.

Now I'm not saying the VHS is theatrically accurate, in fact I doubt it. I'm just viewing it as a fun alternative look to the other BDs.  And while I know there is ther 4K remaster BD and  UHD, I found those transfers very flat and unappealing. Far away from the VHS.

After taking weeks to regrade The Crow (still working on it) and other projects I wondered if I could a regrade a lot faster and with a set deadline (aka Halloween). Basically get it 90% and not sweat the last 10% like I always do. So I revived the nomenclature "Quick Project" as set about a few days ago to see what I could get done. I'm about half way done so far.

For audio I wanted to keep it short to keep the file size down, so no massive list of audio like previous projects.

Regrade/Orig BD

Hello!

New here but always loved fan restorations.  I've lurked here for a little and decided to finally join.  I also followed the 4k77/4k83 and am of course waiting on 4k80.  Amazing work people are doing!  

Hopefully in time I can contribute as well

Are the first three Rambo films on 4k worth it? The Rambo 3 4k looks very yellow in the daytime scenes which kind of bothers me. Also do these movies still come with the slip cover if I order from Amazon?

Just looking for a possible project.
