The Funhouse Blu-ray - Pre-Order

Sorry if there is a thread already. I search and did not fine one. There's some info posted in one or maybe two of the misc Shout/Scream Factory threads but thought maybe it was best to give this it's own thread to keep info more handy.

Anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1)/DTS Master Audio 5.1/1981/Color/96 minutes

Release Date: October 16th 2012
IMDB: Link

But I guess you didn't bother to read that.

Fill me in on where the special features info was released a month ago cause I surely missed it until a day ago when I saw the press releases.

No harm intended, there was. Concentrate much when tired and can't get to sleep, I don't.

I have this on dvd from a four pack I bought at Walmart for $5 last year, but still have not watched it yet.

You're not satisfying my anal retentiveness of figuring out how I missed the info.

Below is what I'm talking about... are you sure the special features were mentioned a month ago?
July 5th - Terror Train, The Funhouse Blu-ray Specs Are In
July 5th - Scream Factory Unleashes Terror Train & The Funhouse on DVD & Blu-ray
July 5th - NEW DISC DETAILS: “THE FUNHOUSE” AND “TERROR TRAIN”
July 5th - The Scream Factory Bringing Terror Train and The Funhouse Home in October!

The only info I remember from last month was the news that the movie was coming to Blu-Ray, and I guess the cover art. I wouldn't of looked around so much but after hearing about the commentary track on the Terror Train Blu-Ray, I decided to do some searching tonight.

I take it this will have reversible artwork with the original artwork on the other side?

I can't say for sure. But I did see this on their Facebook page.

There weren't any extras announced a month ago for FUNHOUSE

The poster offer looks enticing.

I'm a big Kevin Conway fan, so this is a must buy

I just hope they keep the extras to a minimum. Shout has a habit of overloading their discs to the point where the movie (the most important part of the presentation) suffers considerably.

"The Big Doll House" has 8x the resolution of a standard DVD but only 2x the bitrate to accommodate a featurette most people won't watch once.

"Walking Tall" Parts 1 and 2 are are crammed onto a single BD50 along with a documentary bringing the running time to 265min. In comparison, the 208 minute "Lord of the Rings" extended cut is spread across two BD50's. Heck they put out the "The Traveller & Telling Lies In America" on a single bd25.

Hopefully all of these discs will be BD50s.

Thank You

Can't wait to get my hands on all of these!

mayorofsmpleton · 07-07-2012, 11:19 PM

Fingers crossed some of the deleted scenes seen on the TV version pop up here as an extra feature.

I am really looking forward to this (if my avatar didn't already tell you that).

I hope the finalized extras can surpass or at least match Arrow's release.
