I saw something about this earlier on IG. Seems to be the same old titles as before except this time instead of a removable card glued to the front of the case, these will be the actual artwork.

[cynatnite]

Those are wickedly cool!

[The Great Owl]

The covers get a resounding "meh" from me, but it's a reminder that I really ought to pick up Joy Ride. I've always liked that movie a lot.

I just know, however, that the split second that I purchase it, Scream Factory will announce a Collector's Edition.

Can I just get an option to buy the artwork?? Already have all those titles!!


But some I will have to double dip for a couple of those covers!

[El_Fez]

Ouch. They're making the Suspiria cover look good.

[benricci]

Ugh. How many times are we gonna dress up the same old catalog titles? Pass.

The designs are indeed stunning but this is still a pointless endeavor without new content or fresh scans. They don't all need new scans but some, like The Fly '86, could really use one. I'd be much more excited if they created these awesome covers for stuff like The Fly II and a remastered version of Ravenous.

I love the artwork and if the price is right I'll snag a few simply because I don't own them.

Well, nothing about those covers is going to cost me any money - so there's that. Hopefully they'll appeal more to others.

[Oscar Rothman]

They look fantastic, but I'm not double dipping just for the covers.

[Hubunkey]

If they are cheap and my Walmart gets them I will gladly pick up Black Swan. I can give my daughter the coloring book so she can color me some awesome photos to hang around the house.

They should call these either the "Adult Coloring Book Collection" or "Dia De Los Muertos Collection" since they look like Day of the Dead masks

These would make some nice steelbooks. But I'll pass.

I would have bought the whole lot if they were steelbooks.

[OneWayFilms]

Not a fan of this type of art, I'll pass.

[takeasneededforpain]

Cripes those look awful....

[Smegma]

Looks like a bunch of crap. Like I'm looking at a shelf of sugar skulls from Mexico.

[AKORIS]

I think these look hideous but more power to people that like them---

I wonder how many double or triple dip sales these studios would make if they for once would understand the importance (to collectors) of original one-sheet artwork with special packaging?

I would go ape if there were steelbooks of my favorite movies with original artwork on them!

I'm all for cultural diversity, but when did "Day of the Dead" come to mean "spooky"? Target was pushing this type of thing as well. It's almost insulting, like as if you started putting little bloody Jesuses up all over the place as Easter decorations.
