[miller_time22]

That's a pretty comprehensive list and covers most of what I would want. I would also be interested in:

All sequels for Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween
Leatherface: TCM III & TCM: The Beginning (available region free already)

John Carpenter:
In the Mouth of Madness & Prince of Darkness

Wes Craven:
The People Under the Stairs, The Serprent and the Rainbow, Shocker

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood

Plus, Hammer releases.

[PowellPressburger]

Image should release Blood for Dracula and FLesh for Frankenstein. Udo Kier is awesome.

“The blood of these wh***s is killing me!”

[Trekkie313]

Halloween 2 can be removed from the list. Also you forgot Phantasm and Phantasm 2!

Wolfen with uncompressed LCPM track would be spectacular.

[linapotente]

The house that dripped blood

[FendersRule]

Prince of darkness, in the mouth of madness, carpenter's village of the damned, and they live. It's sad that these are missing from the true master of horror.

Nicholas roeg created one of the greatest horror films ever made--don't look now, which has yet to recieve a US release.

Friday the 13th part 4--one if the best sequels. Where is it?

Nice list otherwise.

Bluray has been stagnant for awhile in catalogue releases, especially horror. Really sucks.

Spot on. Except for shocker and serpent. But then again. I wouldnt arguing against it either!

I've never been able to stay awake through phantasm.

Elm streets are available through UKs region free boxset. Pretty cheap too.

Slither
dead silence
valentine
fear dot com
hills run red
queen of damned

MY TOP 5 most wanted from the list in order:

1. Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight
2. Night of the Living Dead (1990)
3. Candyman
4. The Blob
5. The Howling

[avpjunkie]

I don't know if it's considered Horror, but I want Bubba Ho-Tep in the U.S.

[EvilMoose]

The Howling seems to have been forgotten, and unforgivably so, since the new movie has it's own release and a set containing three of the laughable sequels was put out as "The Howling Trilogy." You'd think the original didn't even exist.

Damn shame, too, I like it a little bit better than AWiL. But JUST a little.

I also agree that Wolfen needs a Blu treatment as well, if only to complete the '81 wolf triad (AWIL, The Howling, Wolfen). It's also the only one of the three that genuinely gave me the chills. The climax of the film had me keeping an eye on my windows for a few nights.

[Trekkie313]

My Top Five Most Wanted:
The Town That Dreaded Sundown
Phantasm (1-4)
The Blob (remake)
Wolfen
Re-Animator

Wolfen with uncompressed LCPM track would be spectacular.

Wolfen needs a release with a Lossless 5.1 track from the Dolby 6 track, Megasound elements. Its the only film released in that format not on BD.

Knowing Warner, they will release it with the same 2.0 mix featured on the LD and DVD versions. In that case, I would take the LPCM track as well.

[Atreyu]

For me I'd love to see The Vincent Price/Roger Corman films based on Edgar Allen Poe's stories. If done right they'd look awesome on blu, especially with the color pallette that was used in these.
