The ultimate horror wishlist

[Terrorfirmer]

Add a horror title that has not been released on blu yet, any type - any year.
Preferably add the films artwork, original or otherwise, i'll start.

I would love to see a release of this:

teenage%20exorcist%20aip%20vhs%20front[1].jpg

I remember staring at this cover on the VHS racks every time I was in the movie store when I was a kid, would LOVE to update my VHS copy

Cool post. Can't think of anything right now, but will keep an eye on this post.

American Gothic would definately be a welcomed addition to my blu collection, I havent even thought about that movie in years, another movie i'd like to get is:

piranha%20ii%20the%20spawning%20embassy%20vhs%20front[1].jpg

Love to have this sequel, I'm planning on picking up the first Pirahna shortly, I found a local place that has it for $8.00

Blood Beach
Humongus
Fear No Evil
Alligator
Scarecrows
Dead Zone
Pieces

It's a little slow moving and a little silly, but I would love to see this one.

An under-appreciated masterpiece in my opinion. One of my all-time favorites.

Alice, Sweet Alice(1976)

[Gardenofstone10]

Oh man, So many of Carpenter's greats need to get their asses to Blu Ray, Prince of Darkness, In the Mouth of Madness and Village of the Damned and I would love a collector's edition release of Halloween full of documentaries and other cool bonus features

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) starring Vincent Price.

Here are a few suggestions of my own:

POSSESSION (1981):
IMDB ID: tt0082933



I understand Anchor Bay released this a few years ago and may still have the rights, but according to a post in the IMDB talkback section, a new remastered print was played just last month:

Thank you very much for your response. I viewed the trailer on YouTube before going to the screening and was worried that people were going to laugh all the way through the film as it was hard to tell if it was an over-the-top cheesy horror film or an intense mind-bending kind of film. But no one in my sold out theater laughed. Not even during the "subway scene", if I even labeled that correctly. The audience was completely silent throughout the whole thing. In fact, it was the quietest screening of a film I have ever been to, which is especially shocking considering that it was completely sold out. We showed up 45 minutes early and there was already a line for it and we saw some people get turned away at the box office because there were no more tickets left. I didn't even see one person leave during the movie--everyone just sat there completely focused on the screen. Then, when it was over, the audience clapped. Granted, this was a theater dedicated to showing obscure, offbeat films, so I'm sure the people that showed up for it for were prepared for this type of thing.

I really enjoyed the film myself and the print looked terrific. Someone obviously took great care of it and it was nice to see the little "pops" up in the corner to signify a reel-change again. I haven't seen those in ages what with all of the new digital presentations movie houses are showing these days.

I'm still very confused about many of the things I saw, but all in all it was a very nice experience to be able to see this film in a rare 35mm screening, especially since I live in the U.S. where it is currently out of print.

FORTRESS (1992) (which will be released by Echo Bridge on May 7th!):
IMDB ID: tt0106950



Miramax put out the US dvd a long, long time ago, so this one may be a better option as far as availability. The only really good version I know of is an anamorphic release in Spain (region 2 PAL).


SPACE TRUCKERS (1996):
IMDB ID: tt0120199



This was put out on dvd by a 3rd rung company (I don't even think they exist anymore), and non-anamorphic at that. What do you know, it's another Stuart Gordon movie!


NECRONOMICON (1993):
IMDB ID: tt0107664



And speaking of Stuart Gordon, here is another one. This one wasn't even given a proper dvd release in the US... all we got was a stinking VHS tape! Tough I will say that at least the Europeans got a decent special edition.


DEATH MACHINE (1994):
IMDB ID: tt0109575



Okay, here is my last one. Again, while we did get a dvd release in the US (pan and scan), it is the 99 minute bastardized cut. Now I understand that Norrington himself doesn't like the 120 minute cut (released on an extremely hard to find Japanese laserdisc and more recently, a German anamorphically enhanced [but OOP] dvd), but that (at least to me) is the superior cut of the film.

According to IMDB, BMG has (the rights to) them (the director's cut).

I would love to have this on blu, even if they did a double feature with the sequel, for some reason i can't see this taking too much longer to get the blu treatment, definately a classic.

A really good choice. I was actually going to choose one of John Carpenter's forgotten movies, as well. One that I really enjoyed.

[abintra]

Just a few of the obvious ones come to mind for me.

[evildrumsticks]

Body Bags (1993)
'Salem's Lot (1979)
Monkeyshines (1988)
Shivers (1975)

[Sinbad75]

I actually have two groupings of films I would dearly love to see released in Blu-ray:

The Hammer classics

The Roger Corman Poe films

[Guydowood]

and PSYCHO III

I hope shout factory does these two up!
