I expect (hope) that Scarecrows, Prom Night 2 and some of the other titles recently discontinued by MGM may wind up at Shout.
I think the company that holds the rights to Day of the Dead also reps titles like Sleepaway Camp; so it makes sense that some of these titles may also be released by Shout.
It also looks like Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 went out of print at Image. I could see Shout picking up the rights.
I asked Cliff about Dawn of the Dead. The Anchor Bay disc seems to have went out of print. His response indicated that Shout doesn't have the rights. Can you confirm that Cliff? Still looking forward to Day of the Dead.
I hope we see some more non horror titles from Shout. There's a great scifi musical from the Cannon library called The Apple that I had the pleasure to see at a midnight screening at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood. Was a ton of fun! Would like to see a new release. Seem to be gaining a sizable cult following.
